Not trying to start an argument, I know you're pretty anti-Ford by reading your posts
^^ This 100%. To all those first driver 16 year old girls out there, and the car guys that dont know a whole lot about cars but try to fit in with their catback mustang. Then they have the die hard fans like you guys who really bring out the potential in these cars. Props to yall. With that beong said I think ill go place my order for my boss mustang now.

i noticed none of the LS vehicles ive killed on the street have posted a single video, or even a single thread on ANY LS site announcing their death. i suspect there are 5 to 1 LS deaths happening.

no exhaust 2011 is running 11's. when you say exhaust you probably are saying mufflers, which doesnt add any HP to a 2011. it takes tune, cai and x pipe with DR's. mufflers are for sound only. im sure your car will run 12's with just a few mods and tires.

i have no doubts you killed what you say.

Tune will be set at about 8-9lbs for street driving so maybe I can find a nice full bolt on one this summer. Doesn't seem like these new 5.0's stay stock for long.

I have friends with 5.0 bolt on cars at stock weight with stock rims w DRs. They were usually faster than me by about 2 MPH or so and ET around the same(They ran 11.9-11.7 at 116-117MPH or so) when I did my last bolt on mods SI. Keep in mind thats before the Boss intake came out and none were autos with stalls

I am not worried about them anymore though

Im not taking anything away fom the new mustang they are stout but poeple are acting crazy about them
There is no such thing as "a vtec." VTEC is a variable valve timing system used on some Honda/Acura motors (most of the new ones). His Integra LS is not one of them. So it isn't "a vtec," and it doesn't have VTEC.

Time to step up your game.

Bolt-ons are only going to be good for so much on the old LS1.

The aftermarket is plentiful and rather inexpensive nowadays.

Whats the difference between saying you have a vtec or you have a ls1 or you have a 5.0? I see alot of guys refer to a 5.0 mustang as a 5.0
