R8s are sexy but mehh. If I had that kind of coin to throw down on something exotic I don't think it would be an R8.

I concur.

German cars are known to cause gayness.

According to the LS world lingo, you're heads & cam.

He's cam only.

Ipso facto, I'm your boss.

I could care less if im heads and cam... thing is its running like i have a 2v ford engine when it should be running a lot better. Id rather find out what the cause of the issue is so i know what to do differently next time.

No that 2v wasn't a cheap shot at you...

Cheaper slower and with less flare. I like them, but I like the Italian better.

For real.......I've done pretty well as far as working guy goes and those cars are way outta reach for me. Even with my home paid for.

The released manufacturer curb weight for the Mustang is within 50lbs of that. But the manufacturer curb weight for your buddy's car isn't 3,760lbs, so let's wait and see what the actual weights are for the cars before we try to compare apples to oranges.
Well what is the manufacturer curb weight for a 5gen 1ss.

From his times it's not even a good bolt on car.

Couple points:

My ride = bent axle, will replace this weekend if the studs come in for the wheels.

I wasn't taking a dig at you, I was just saying you have a cylinder head upgrade and Guitar does not.

Thirdly, I was the dude who told you to do a leakdown test. Don't make me out to be the *******. I never wish a hurt motor on another gearhead, regardless of their brand preference. Broken **** sucks

They found it on the dyno as the wheel was bouncing, and when I hit it hard and wrap it out I can feel a noticeable wobble. It's not violent, but since I have 2 spare axles in the shed, I figured I'd rather have a straight axle before I strap the Mickeys to it and launch at 4k at the strip.

Short answer: previous owner did not disclose this detail...literally was the only thing that could be fucked up as I bought it as a shell with the rear end being the only thing installed

you'll see 11's with your car and bolt ons if you can get to the track again with anything less than 2000 da. A 11 sec bolt-on car us pretty good.
