Sorry I have not updated my info for you, but pulling your rear tires will not win anything, but you can do some pretty sick reverse donuts.
I am married to a woman that drives a v8 86 firebird that would rip you woman's mustang a new *******, after she whooped your hawnduhh with Acura badges.

It appears some folks are taking things a little too seriously. The new 5.0 Ford engine looks like a great engine - time will see if it will last 100+K miles in the hands of guys that run them hard.
Good news is the new Mustang will force the General to lighten the Gen V Camaro and increase power to keep up - just like it happened in the 60's, 80's and 90's. Given time, things will only get better. Hell, Dodge might even cut weight off the Challenger and get it competitive too.
As for me, I'll keep daily driving my 99 Z28 and try not to burn too much $4/gallon gas for a few more years, I am looking for 200K on the clock before spending any major $$. The Camaros and Mustangs were made to drive, why not enjoy them.
One thing I don't understand is bashing previous gen Camaros. Having owned a number, I can tell you the Gen 2 is a better car than Gen 1, engine choices and looks not withstanding. The Gen 3 is better than 2 and Gen 4 better still. For those young guys out there, I can personally tell you a Gen 1 with a BBC is fun to drive but does not handle or stop as well as a new 1/2 ton truck. Cars have come a long way in 40 years.

Oh and out of curiosity, are you one of those "drag cars" at the local $5 1/8th mile? You know, the $500 car ones that are carbed, auto/stalled, loud as all holy hell because you all think they need to run open headers to run 7's. My bet is on yes.

Carry on though this is pretty fun picking you apart.

Actually, the cost were initial, blood and sweat has them looking and running the way they do, and no one wants you to be jelous princess, you take it how you like, the truck is for towing my cars to the track and my own company purposes, and no, anyone here will tell the third gens are street driven and have full exhaust, so keep picking apart whatever it is you imagine, my cars you hate on so much will drag your bitch *** and time of day in you in anything you own sweet heart. And sorry, the trailer is not mine, so I cannot claim it.
One thing I know, if someone isnt hating on you, you aren't doing something right

Even if we go with the quickest F-body(this Cougar here isn't a pony car in my world anyway), it's not just a few 10ths... Well, maybe it is, but I've read that the Cougar has run 6.19 now(and a Mustang has gone .30's) and each did it with a single power adder(twin turbo's, no doubt)... The LS... er, LQ F-body record is like 6.86 and I've read it used 2 power adders(but I'm willing to go with twin turbo only)... That's over half a second... compared to a 4.6L... Point is, the 4.6L FACTORY PRODUCTION BLOCK is quite reliable. No LS1 would survive that power, or within 500 of it. That's why so many people switch to the "not-so" lightweight iron block.
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.
They "got their **** together" when they made the 4.6L DOHC... Back when you were apparently in diapers. They also had it together when they built several other V8's along the way, like the 351W, which, after ALL THESE YEARS, still overpowers the LS1, and probably every other version, including aftermarket... And that 351W used 1950's technology and was offered back in like 1968(memory fades with time). Point here('cause I know you'll miss it unless I point it out) is, even with more outdated technology than the LS1, the really old Ford is easily just as good. That old technology is much of the stuff GM used to create the LS series cylinder heads, come to think of it.
Bottom line, THINK some... If you don't know what you're talking about(and you don't), it's not a great idea to spout off in here because some of us actually do and we'll see you...

I don't keep up with these cars very much but they are impressive. However this is the second a6 I have seen that took a major crap. Local guy did get his replaced under warranty after the youtube vidoes were found. Keep fighting with Ford, you will eventually shake the right tree and someone can make it happen.

x 2 on that one. Seriously getting sick of people who don't even own ls1's only on the site to stir **** up and cause arguments... I guess some people have nothing better to do with their life.

Carry your *** back to the winter forums or something. In other words, if you're already sick of it, LEAVE! Nobody will miss you here. "Haters" need no apply in the 1st place. Just because it's called "LS1tech" doesn't mean nobody without an LS1 can be here. I'd almost bet more than 1/2 the members here DON'T own an LS1.
