first off thats the first thread i have ever started about the new mustang on any site. i saw it on the svt site and thought it was interesting that its already in the 9s. and thought some of you may like to see it as well.
and yes i'm ready to see some new gt owners post up some times, and some on the svt already have which was 12.7 i believe.
second off, what makes you think i'm excited about the new mustang?!?!? i have abosolutely no intentions of buying one. if i bought a new muscle car it would be the ss before i buy the mustang. i dont really care for the looks of the mustang. but either way i'm not paying that much for either one of them.
and third, i joined ls1 tech cause i been thinking of getting a ls camaro soon, and like to see what mods are the best and what peoples cars run that way i could get a idea of what i could do to my ls1 "if i get one" to make it run like i want.
and yes people have attacked me for having a ford being on ls1 tech. power is power no matter what brand it is. i like to talk about cars, and thought this would be a good place to join thinking there are some like minded individuals like me that just like going fast and talking about cars. but i can see your not of them, your one of the ls owners that walk around thinking your all high and mighty like your **** dont stink "like some of the 03 04 term guys".
as far as you say its not like i designed the motor your right. i never did or ever claimed too. dont think you designed the ls motor either.
i'm not saying all ls or term guys are that way. if you or anyone else dont like me being on ls1 tech because i got a ford, i dont give a f***. i'm here to stay so you can get over it. if you dont like seeing what i post then dont read it or reply to it.

Let me apologize about saying you started more than one 2011 GT thread. I was mistaken and I'm sorry for it.
Other than that, I'm not really sure why you're so defensive. I'm not sure what you're talking about with me being "high and mighty." I'm also not sure why you told me to get over you being on here seeing as I've welcomed you.
Calm down. Seems you're making some assumptions and resorting to lashing out because you feel a need to defend yourself. I'm telling you this, there's no need.
Just a couple last little notes; 1.) I've been saying I like the new 5.0. 2.) I've not said anything about the LS engines being better than the 5.0. 3.) I'm not attacking you. 4.) I'm not a brand loyalist (I own a 2009 F150)
So, again, I'd like to tell you I am not mad at you. I don't have a grudge against you. I am not attacking you. ----------And, in all sincerity, I'd like to tell you I'm sorry for hard feelings and welcome to LS1tech.

Wow, there's a lot of hostility there.

yeah, way too heavy. You can thank the damn crumple zones, 10 airbags and emissions devices for that. The new cars have to have 400+ HP just to be able to get out of their own way! LOL.

We know cars can be built that light... We've had them for decades. Problem is, obviously, the government has its grubby fingers in everybody's pie, forcing this and that in the name of safety, economy and emissions. We end up burning more fuel, using more energy and being more cramped in many cases... but cars are safer!
Hmm... I wonder what a Cobra R would do in today's configuration? No radio, no rear seat, no A/C, no power windows, lightweight parts... That could be a 3200 lb version without much additional help, built much like the 2000 model. I still wouldn't buy one, and it would probably be more expensive than a well optioned GT, but it would be a good performer.

I'd be a buyer for nearly anything American made that is 3200 lbs or less with 350+ HP in the $25K range. When that starts being provided, I'll start buying. Till then, I'll admire these high HP heavy cars from a distance.

"How did they do it you might ask–well Strictly Performance swapped out the stock six-speed transmission for a C4 and than added a direct port nitrous system along with a custom prototype tune. A set of upper and lower control arms along with Bogart racing wheels kept this Mustang GT screaming down the drag strip. On the dyno the 5.0-liter engine threw down an insane 656rwhp which comes courtesy of the nitrous. How about the stock block holding up under those conditions, not bad at all."
So what is that a 250 shot? Most others put down 400 with basic mods and a tune right?

It was built at KCAP! And, you're welcome. There were a number of reasons I bought the F-150 (my first ever Ford), but one of the big reasons was the blue oval didn't take any government money. I love this country and the capitalist ideas it used to stand for. I will always spend my dollars in a way to support America, her ideals and her people.

I have found myself agreeing lately though, I'm not even from here and I prefer to buy American.
I heard an interesting saying the other day "if you are not buying domestic, you are the trade deficit". Extreme? Probably, but still interesting.

Here's one thing I'm kinda stuck on the fence about.
They're trying to aprove $20mil of the stimulus to help out manufacturing jobs here in Mo. The paper says that us local Ford Union workers pay over $20mill in state taxes a year. So, really they'd be giving FoMoCo money to help them out... I'm undecided on how I feel about this.
What I can say is our plant has the best production numbers and quality numbers out of any auto assembly plant in the country. Unlike other plants in the area and around the country, we aren't pamperd either. There's no A/C nor TV's like most of the GM plants. Friday night it was close to 120* in there...
