I have a friend with a 91 5.0L mustang that is bone stock and a friend with a 90 camaro IROC Z and they both think they can kill me (I have a 1990 supra turbo w/ 3in downpipe). Im pretty sure I can beat them but yeah.. how should I do?

You will beat them pretty easily. If you installed some 550 injectors and a Lexus AFM, and upgraded your turbo a little bit, you would destroy them. Mustangs are so freaking slow that it's just funny to race one. Let us know how it turns out................lol

Is the 5.0 a 5 speed? If so, and he/she can drive, you might be in for a surprise there.

Is the Iroc a 350/Automatic, or a 305/5 speed?

Either way, all the cars here are low 15 second runners, and will come down to who has the best driver.

i feel you on the having the car and not even knowing how it drives...



as for the race...if both of those cars are stock...you shouldnt have a problem taking them...ever since ive ridden in a mustang with a 4.6 the 5.0 is a joke...

shim your wastegate and put an air filter on it and you'll kill both of those cars, IROC's are a joke stock and stock 5.0's aren't too quick either. when it came out the supra turbo was compared to the corvette from those years, there was only a 12hp differance

Here's the stock 0-60 & 1/4 mi. times of the cars stock. The list I got them from is made up of various sources though, so they might not be 100% accurate.

1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z 5.8 14.4
1991 Ford Mustang GT 7.3 15.6
1991 Toyota Supra Turbo 7.1 15.6
