I remember back in the day car and driver did one with the SS, GT and WS6...all i remember is they ranked them

1 SS

2 GT

3 WS6

 

Why would you rank the SS first and the WS6 third?! It's basically the same car except some different bumper/spoiler/interior parts.

 

Yea, and better than the SS so that makes no sense at all??

 

i said the same thing when i watched it...its car and driver..what do you expect lol

 

anyone else catch the 4.6L was pulled from a 95 SVT.........Wasnt the 95 SVT still the 5.0? and the 99 SVT was the 4.6L 32V?

 

Dude the whole review is retarded.

There was no 4.6 DOHC motor in 95. The Mach 1's motor is basically the 99-04 Mustang GT's 4.6 with DOHC heads.

Brock Yates is a dumbass. The "shaker hood inhibits my visibility and I don't particulartly like to drive this car" - okay dumbass, learn to look past the hood scoop instead of straing at it...

Then the dumbass comes on and says "this Mach 1 is the first or second Mustang to have independant rear suspension" - hey clueless, the Mach 1 has a solid rear axle. All it takes is one look under the car to realize that, the whole review is skewed and full of innaccuracies.

 

The one I saw from C&D had them testing out the SS and WS6 at the track. They didn't understand why but with the same driver and both cars being 6 speeds, the WS6 was a thenth faster everytime.

 

you know.. I can understand SMALL mistakes being made here and there.. but Jesus H..............

 

I think the cobra motor he was referring to was the 01 cobras...

 

Ya probally becouse the LS1 is underrated from factory and some of them come off the floor alot stronger than others it makes no diffrence either ss or Ta . Doesnt the Ta weight almsot a 100 pounds more becosue of the body?? I dont see how anyone that dirves a 6speed on street tires can even say that there consistant enough to judge by a tenth between 2 cars ? I know i can drive and enless im babying the car out the hole i wont be consistant at all. And that is a boering way to drive

 

96 was the first year for the 4.6l SOHC and DOHC motors. The SOHC was rated at 215hp and the DOHC was rated at 305. 99 was the year the SOHC was bumped to 260 and 290trg via the PI heads and the DOHC was supposed to be 320 but had to be recalled due to quality control issues with the exhaust and intake manifold. The exhaust was crimped b/c of the new IRS restricting flow to creat more ground clearance and the Intake had a lip of material blocking air flow. Ford fixed these problems by Extrude Honing the Intake and replacing the mufflers to bring the numbers up to where they should have been.
