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

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
