Oh, and I never said the new Mustang was garbage or anything of the sort. They did finally get their **** together and that Coyote engine is one bad mother ******. But... an outdated LS1 with some bolt-ons can still hang with it? Maybe that is more of a testament to the quality of the LSx design than anything.

Didn't John go 6.20's? Has any LSx car gone 6.80's yet? I don't follow that scene
much anymore. I follow ADRL basically now.

Last time I checked Wheel 2 Wheel was in the 6.80s @ 205 in their 4th gen Camaro. That was a good while ago though. Not sure what Mihovetz's PB to date is, id have to look. Whatever the case 5-6 tenths is a far cry from 2 seconds. LOL

I guess that's what you get from a gay firebird owner.

Changing what you said again?Less you forget.
The LS7 wasn't a truck motor IIRC. there you go changing the rules again. I don't see why you try to exclude a Supercharged truck engine[5.4 engine] that is used in a car then you want to include a non truck engine [ LS7 ].
Face it ford has built some very good engines over the years and if they choose to use a smaller displacement forced induction engine there is no sin in it. And the new 5.0 has the LS3 beat at its own N/A game. More power per cubic inch displacement and still N/A.

You are comparing apples to oranges....talkin about "rules" ford guys always seem to forget the huge advantage in the ford head design negating the need for more cubes not to mention the 4 over head variable cam design.
GM decided to go with cubes Ford with more hightech valvetrain and heads. Bottom line. They both run great and have their advantages and disadvantages for both.

I love this thread, it went from a guy comparing his c6 to the new 5.0, to talking about the tranny problems in the new mustang, to getting screwed over by stealerships and now we got some mustang guys and an acura guy bashing on a camaro driver on a GM forum...
Those new 5.0's are nasty no doubt. We have to remember though, the LS1 is kinda outdated technology, But nothing from '97 touches the ls1. Ford was a little smarter and threw blowers and forged internals on their cars in 03-04. Thats also why the cobras still hold their value till this day And their fast nasty little *******. I hang out with ford guys lol, I have love for the termi's too but am an ls1 guy at heart and would never betray the bowtie haha

I don't need a car to "pull hoes". I'm married to a girl that drives a 03 mustang v8 that would probably outrun his firebird.

....here's your ******* after this thread...
Seriously, were just poking fun.. even at me. If you get all defensive, you will get flamed, you drive an import and your talking **** in an LS1 forum... you should just go with it man..
