If the LT5 would've stuck around and been alot cheaper..them Ford boys would've been left in the dust a long time ago..considerably more than they already are..lol
Well I take that back..the Caddy STSV is kinda similar..just with a Blower..

I agree sadly enough... Gm has the power, but everything they have out is a PIG!!! The g8=pig, the new camaro=pig, The corvette= out of most peoples price range. The only car I really dig right now from gm is the new cobalt ss. Light weight with lots of capability, but then your back to dickin around with FWD=Fail(not bad if your into roll racing tho)!! The 4th gen is still the best bang for the buck imo...

The more ideal engine for the Mustang would be the LS3. More power under the curve than an equivalent mod motor, more compact, and 60 to 70 lbs lighter than a mod motor... Smaller, lighter, faster, Advantage LS engine! Ford should be buying engines from GM. This really explains the popularity of people putting LS motors in Fox bodies.

Nice to see ford stepping up because the new mustang GT is MAD SLOW i beat one in my 94 Formula and the guy just couldn't recover from the shock and i only have bolt-ons so i thought he would spank me but boy oh boy still nice to have the 5.0 back!

I was reffering to the current 3V stuff previously.
The have the blockers under the plenum to keep up velocity and tq.
they are nothing to sneeze at. Anyone claiming to beat one with a bolt on lt1 car I just dont see it. they dont impress me but lets be realistic here...... new camaros lay down some serious serious numbers, but it does not matter they are still slow as hell and ugly

The new Mustang would be more appealing if they didn't screw up the back end. It's gotten worse and worse. The best looking recent Mustang's were from '99-'04. I think they nailed it with those models. the '05+ models I think are just horrible except what they did with the headlights.
