WOW! talk about ignorant, Mr. Fisher has some serious blinders on. I love how he asks for proof, gets it, and then denounces it. While he himself doesent even provide a shread of evidence for his claims.

I'd love to post the results of this years HRM Pump gas drags. Two mustangs made the top ten, unfortunatly for Billy-boy they were powered by first gen sbc's. I'd post it but he would just call me a "chevy lover" (I'd hate to inform him that I used to work at Wixom Assembly and that my wife still does.)

Hybrids are awesome! Take the stang chassis which has more suspension parts than any other platform out there and put a killer engine into it.

Whats not to love?

I'd love to see a mod motor camaro! just because it would be diffrent.

I think it's been done but I can't remember where the heck I saw the pictures. The thing that makes LSx motors so attractive for hybrids is that they operate well stand-alone and tuning is so easy with EFILive or HPTuners. There just isn't that much out there for the Ford guys (yet).

LS1s are also compact, light, and relatively cheap. Mod motors aren't that cheap.

As for Hybrids, I think they're cool. If you can make more power, weigh less, and/or save $$$ go for it. I'm wanting someone to swap a LS1/T56 in a fox chassis.

Last year at autorama (here in detroit) there was a guy with a dark silver metallic 87-92ish Mustang GT with a LS1 it was a killer setup (I wish I had taken a pic.) it had a single turbo with a blow thru carb and a T-56. What a combo!!!!!

On a diffrent subject I used to live in kennesaw, Is "Cowboys" still on 41?
