Actually, the 5.0s should run low 15s high 14s but with a 3.73, it should cut the time by anywhere from .4 to .5.
As for the 96-98 models
They are slower. Slowest Mustangs in years

Most of these guys on this thread are reporting a average of mid 14s
Some with low 14s
People running everything stock except the engine are running high 14s, low 15s

I've been wondering what you run, babyblue :D
KLZE/KL31 ecu/Pacesetter headers/track pipe cat delete/2.5 inch custom exhaust out to fart pipe/warm air intake for now :(/Fidanza 9lbs flywheel/Stage 2 kevlar road racing clutch which still slips/stock wheels/BFG KDW-2 tires. Looks bone stock ;)

There are those who claim to be street racers, and then there are those who claim the streets for themselves. I am not a street racer. I am a StreetSweeper.

I was running a klze fully built turboed on 20psi. I managed to score the 6 pistons because the valve was hitting the pistons, wrong desigh by the guys I purcharse the pistons too. Since then I sold everything because it costs too much to put everything back together.
I WAS fast though hehehe

Some Quotes from Fieromx3:

"
yea my DE burns oil to. usually every 250kilometers itll burn a small bottle of oil or sometimes from my house to toronto (about 140 KILOMETERS) it will burn about 3/4 of a bottle..lol its really bad
"

This may slow it down the de just a little, as that most likely means low compression.



"
DE isnt really any slower than a ZE im comparing to a ZE well for some and im seeing alot DE's that are faster than me ppl underestimate the DE

1st- 15.374@89.59mph

2nd- 15.234@92.41

3rd-15.157@92.61mph

hmmm then my talon was s--- lol i was runin 15lbs a 3'' turbo back a k&n filter and a 1g hacked maf...and that only did 14.7

got a 15.6@91.5mph at best...not too bad
"

At least we have some de times in this thread. A 15.1 (not sure if that was your time fieromx3, or if you were talking about someone elses time) - 15.6 is not bad for a de burning oil. :-)

I couldnt resist fieromx3, you just seamed a little negative lately about the mx, so I thought I would show you that at one point you felt a 15.6 was not too bad.
My best with a ze was 14.3 @ 98 at Sparta.
