Not sure if this one has been posted here but if goin for thrashed out tuner swaps, this one is the most badass one I've seen... Even if it is a 5.0 lol

If he had 750, he had zero driving skills, or zero traction. I only had 690 in mine and a 390rwhp fbody wouldnt have been in the same zipcode as me in a roll.

thetmeister05

I'm inclined to say both apply to each other. I can get 750 to hook up enough to just decimate what I was running. He'd have to be running skinny's out back for the race to be simply a matter of traction. Guy sounded like a moron. I don't even think he knew what torque was. He seemed to only be able to quote HP numbers lol

I wasn't sure people still believed what other people said when they spout off some stupid HP number.....

Like I said... it was a blown stang for sure. It had a bunch of super snake and shelby emblems and he claimed that's what it was. How true it all is, I have no idea, nor will I ever. Just talking about what I experienced. Based on the results, I would say he bought a fake super snake and had no idea what he actually had... especially after talking to the tool lol

Kinda like the F-body guys who say that have a corvette motor in their car as soon as they say that I just ignore everything they say.....

thetmeister05

In SOME of their defense... When we got non-car people asking what motor we got and we say ls1, their eyes just kinda glaze over lol. It's gotten to the point for me, that I say ls1... same motor as the corvette. Usually those are the mustang guys that bought a mustang to SAY they drive a mustang but in reality have NO idea what they actually have. Those are the second biggest mustang douches in the world in my book haha

What's the first in your book?

So you're one of them people I'd ignore....

I'm guessing Cobra owners will be number one in your book? or Mustangs that are faster than you are the big douches?

thetmeister05

lol probably. The only time I do it though is when I get asked. Those are the people that don't really have a clue. Most mustang guys that actually have a clue won't bother asking me whats in it. At least not without saying "It's got the LS1 I'm assuming?" or some variation of the sort.

Nah... Specific type owners don't bother me. And I have no real issues with losing to a mustang. If a car is faster than mine, then so be it. I respect mustangs. It's the ones that will sit there and just bash my car while talking to me and say their Mustang is better and will drag my *** and talk about how much HP it's making and it's got DOHC and is therefore a better and faster motor than mine and blah blah blah. The ones that are so dedicated to their car that they are completely ignorant to the possibility that maybe, just MAYBE, I can beat you. And when I DO beat them, they say I'm not saying everything that's done to my car or they haven't programmed their car right or whatever.

THOSE are the top douches lol

He's one of "them" for sure.

Whats the difference between the C5 Corvette ls1 and the fbody Ls1?

thetmeister05

Nothing. Same motor inside and out. (for liability reasons I will say AS FAR AS I KNOW hahaha)

I would think POSSIBLY the exhaust manifold for clearance reasons.

Exhaust manifolds,front accessories,batwing oil pan. Long block is identical.

Don't get me wrong, you will NEVER see me OWNING a mustang. And I love to spit **** at mustang owners. I'm a GM guy through and through. It's what I was born into. But for me, it's all in jest. I could get walked by a goddamn v6 stang and, well, it is what it is. I have no problem saying I got beat. It's no fun, but the thrill of racing, whatever it is I may be against, is all I'm out for.

I do, however, believe that overall, the mustang motors are inferior to ls's... POTENTIAL-wise. HP per dollar between the 2 makes an LS a no brainer in my book. But, everyone has their preference. And I don't actually knock anybody for their own personal preference. It's like blondes vs. brunettes to me lol

If I ever get a title for my 92 volvo wagon I need a set of c5 vette manifolds. The fit nice in volvo swaps.

thetmeister05

I guess this is what I SHOULD'VE said. It's what I meant at least lol.

As of 2011 the are no longer inferior!!! Unless fully built.

Potential vs Cost is 2 different things

All out Mod motors have proven to put out more power than all out LS motors

I won't argue on the cost thing though, LS is deff a lot cheaper than the mod motor stuff when it comes to valve train things and such but being able to use a lot of stock parts helps in that category. I've owned both and enjoy both but to bash something because it's simply a Camero or a Mustang is just ignorance......
