Default An insult to ls1's! Wikipedia being biased!

taken from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mustang_SVT_Cobra

"Despite being smaller in size and lower in compression, the 4.6L DOHC Cobra engine still made similar power to gm's ls1 engine, equipped in the Camaro Z28, SS, and the Pontiac Trans Am. This just proves the SVT engine was of superior design to its' competition."

You know you can edit any wikipedia definition right? I'm glad you quoted that because I'm about to change it.

I'm working on changine the whole thing. So far cobra = slobra and mustang = rustang. Let me know what else you'd like in there. Maybe I should make the changes subtle and just change that one part.

Everyone post up suggestions for the new edited version. If you do edit it post up what you changed. Sometimes it's hard to notice the changes without having the old version anymore.

If the 4.6 makes similar power and is so much superior, why can't they hang with stock LS1 cars?

yeah but his fox body doesn't have a piece of **** 4.6. Personally I don't lump fox bodies in with all other pusstangs.

Someone needs to find some statistics of how many women drive mustangs and how many V6s are actually out there and use that in the defintion. I would be willing to bet it was someone with a slow car that got beat by a stock LS1 that wrote that.


EDIT: Put something in about having fun getting raped up the *** when you have to pay 600+ $ for two cams and then another 300+ for springs not to mention the pain in the *** the install would be. Could you imagine the bill if you had it done? My *** hurts just thinking of it. LOL.

Also I just noticed they are compairing a COBRA to a Z28. WTF? I don't know much about Fords but weren't the Cobras built better than a regular GT?
