new wisdom Ok not sure this goes in this section but for fun I went to the NMRA race this weekend to spectate of course... I now know why I don't drive a ford they are all slow.....!!!! What a boring event!
Ya don't get me wrong i'm not a ford hater I have a couple friends that have some very fast ford powered fords but they are few and far between...I am a big fan of the LS mustang conversion tossed the idea around of doing one myself. I'm saying that I'm a heads up kinda guy not give this new F150 a 6 second head start over a built lightning.. It was like a fri. night test n tune to me
Here is a video of a few of the Mustangs that I race with/against.
These are N/A small blocks less than 400 cubes.
The silver one is a 275 drag radial car and the red one is a 10.5 car
Not slow in my book.

I disagree, I have seen cars go fast that shouldn't, and those that should do not....
There is not a direct relationship between money spent and ET acheived.
Money spent on the right combination and tuned/set up properly will perform.
Just because you have deep pockets and buy the latest greatest parts will not always result in a top performer.

I was trying to dispell the ideat that "spend enough and anything can go fast" myth.
What I meant was just having the $$$ and spending a fortune will not gaurantee a fast car. It takes much more than just $$$ to get there. The video I posted was of some very fast NA cars that have been designed built and tested/raced by some very talented individuals that deserve some credit for their accomplishments. As the combination of parts in the wrong hands may not acheive the same results.
How many times have you guys gone to the track, or watched Pass Time to see a high dollar car with all the good stuff just run like a dog?

A lot of people who know me think that I'm a Chevy guy because I own two Camaros. That's not the case though, I own Camaros because my fat *** fits in them. Mustangs are just too damn small inside.

I dont like the guys in the mustangs in particular that think their cars run good when they really dont, as light as the Fox cars are, they should run harder than they do, but they just dont deliver without tearing into the internals and really spending money.
I tend to agree with you on this one.
"I dont like the guys in the mustangs in particular that think their cars run good when they really dont, as light as the Fox cars are, they should run harder than they do, but they just dont deliver without tearing into the internals and really spending money."
These personality characteristics are not brand specific. Just go to your local cruise night and ask a few questions, I am never suprised to see so many 10 second rides with 600hp that do not know their 60ft times or how much it runs in the back half. We all know that there is no such thing as a BBC that makes less than 500hp,right?
Talk to the import guys....whole other box of worms....

Man, you reminded me of how many idiots swear to god they have a 9 second ride, some 10s other 8s in the quarter mile, then they tell me where they ran and mention Houston Motorsports Park, a GD 1/8th mile track!!! HAHHAHAA. I tell them it is a 1/8th and they argue and swear otherwise, i usually walk away and then go tell my buddies what i just got to argue about.
