Yeah, daily driver for sure. I wouldn't mod one EVER! It might make it to the track a couple times just to see what it will do, maybe bracket race it for the hell of it.

Thats why my car is gonna stay a "VIRGIN" at the track,SHHH dont tell anyone its my family car that is a grocery getter with ***** LOL

On another note my 90RS 305 TBI was rated at 190HP,before i threw in the 305 TPI (top swap)and it only bump it up to 205 or 210HP

Those TBI motors were only rated at 170hp, so it wasn't such a bad gain.

Jay Leno likes the way the v6 handles vs the v8 (and he twin turboed his to 425hp). The 2011 Mustang will have a 305HP 280 lb ft v6 30mpg (the old 4.0 at 210 240 lb ft did 60 in 6.6) and that will chop 1.5 sec off the 0-60 time so imagine quarter mile times and how it will handle (and the 5.0 comes back with 412hp 390 lb ft).

Must see this

v6 stang or camaro is still not cool, and how much do you think that twin turbo set up cost him? and leno is a tool anyway.
