Default '02 Z28 vs New 5.0 Mustang - VIDEO

I had a few quick races on the freeway with a new Mustang GT 5.0. The dude would not go side by side. He would nail it when I was behind him moving for traffic.

My LS1 had four broken pistons from my previous turbo system. I bought four old pistons from a member here, and slapped them into the engine, old rings and all! I had to get it on the road that day. I left the engine in the car to boot!

That was about 20K miles ago, and it still runs pretty good, but burns oil like crazy, and has lost a few horsepower. I also have no cats and run through some awesome Pep Boys Cherry Bombs I welded them on in a hurry after removing my turbo.

Check out how it does against a new Mustang 5.0.

First to the shitstorm that will follow!


edit: nevermind, I actually watched the video...well skipped through it...and nothing really happened. This one probably won't get too big.

I can't wait. I'll try to find the dude again. I wanted a fair side by side roll race, but he wouldn't look over. He just floored it when I was behind him. Maybe he thought that I wasn't worth the gas? I did a lot better than I thought I would.

At 1:25 he runs and I catch. You can hear him go first if you listen close. That's about how it went.

I waited for a race, I never blasted by him, until he ran.

The problem is, he didn't lift. I lift at 1:36, then he does and brakes. It really goes like this, he runs, I catch, I lift and you get butt hurt.

What a chump! All that beautiful road ahead and he wouldn't even get one run in. Guy was obviously scared of the almighty LS1.

Yall can say what yall want but if you cant clearly see him nail the coyote and op catch him then yall should all Just go by a 5.0 and join svtp. I like the 5.0 and I wpuld own one but sometimes yall make this out to be more than what it really is. Now op what are the exact mods done to your car in this vid?

What time mark? I got bored after a while and started skipping but never saw anything that I would call a race or "kill" for either party.

Not much. A tune and some 4.10s. No cats. It did run in the 12's at 113 off the showroom floor on stock tires. It's always ran very strong.

1:25 to 1:37. You can hear him hit it first. He brakes last.

That's pretty impressive IMO. And if true makes a 5.0 kill pretty believable.

I drive that freeway every day. I'll catch him again and try to get a heads up race. I'm not going to win over a jury with this video. Too many variables and no concrete evidence.

But it was nice to open it up. My GSXR is my daily driver, and it's down right now. I only drive the Z28 a few times a year.
