i do have a race coming up with a guy in my car club who has an 04 Cobra..he's got a KB with about 18PSi (to my lil 6-7 psi) he made 581 RWHP just like it sits and now he's been talking about putting a 100 shot on it (he already has it in his possesion) so I'ma be looking at a race beween my 520 RWHP SS against his nearly 700 RWHP Termi..funny part is..i know i'll win
REASONs below
1.he has 315 nitto DR's and i have 315 MT DR's ( MT's hook waaay better)
2. i have a built and stalled auto and he has a manual with stock gears
3.his car is heavier
4.i have about 150 drag strip passes under my belt and about 80 or so street races...he has 0 of either type of racing experience
5. a noob driving a 700 RWHP manual car is going to be funny to watch

Well lets go for a little walk here and have a chat. To be totally honest, I couldn't see myself in a Mustang really
, I just have this feeling I would hate myself over a cup of coffee every day for it lol. Seriously I guess I'm exagerating my Mustang hatred a little; but whenever I rode in a Mustang, no matter how nice it was it always seemed "not home" for me.
If I was forced to choose between a new SS and a new 5.0, I'd buy an ls3 vette
. Although realistically, I would actually consider the SS though, and not even test drive the 5.0. It just doesn't interest me, I don't like how they look really and to be honest, I wouldn't leave either one stock for long anyways. I know the SS's are heavy, and stock they seem to be out performed by the coyote, but the LS3 mods up real nice and packaged in the SS makes for a pretty nice ride imo. Also, even though I like the solid rear axle setup best, that SS has a pretty nice setup for backroad sprited driving and isn't a pos from what I can tell.
There, I did my little side-tracked excursion, did it throw you ******* off the scent of such fascinating topics as Stop's 308rwhp (or is it?
) Mach? Lol, hope so
.
Btw, I'm not stirring the pot here (maybe I am
), I'm just being totally honest. I know the 5.0 is fast, it does turn my head when I see them (not my favorite body style and rear, but hey), but there are a lot of faster cars that I could have afforded, yet I still went with the hawk. That's all I'm saying really. It's all what you like I guess, and that's why the Ford/Chevy rivalry will never be dead...unless they merge
lol.

they do look good and some are fast...they just are'nt for me..i have been on both sides of the fence and my grass is greener here on the GM side.
GM has had waaay more years of the LT1 and LS1's being faster than the base model V8 mustangs....this is another huge reason i'll stay GM..even tho the new 5.0's are on top for now...the General is a master at mustang butt kicking..and he's not ready to retire just yet

i could'nt agree with you more man because i know exactly what you mean...i have owned 2 stangs before an 89 GT with a few mods and a stock 97 3.8L manual stang...i never felt at home in these cars like i have in my camaro's and firebird's i have owned...just the way cars sit and feel inside them is either a big turn on or turn off...and stangs ..no matter the year models always turn me off

1:an automatic
2:stalled
3:has a blower
4:is cammed
5:has meth injection
6:different intake manifold
and it runs low 11's?
Let me nut swing my Cobra alittle harder since we are on the topic of it...
My mod list was following
1:blower @11psi
2:stock intake
3:stock cams
4:stock MANUAL T45 with just a shifter
5:4.30 gears
THATS IT! And I ran 10.9@126mph and usually on an average night was 11.1-11.2@124-126
Ok call it how you will...What about Bitemrk that has posted in here and has a BOLT ON 4.6 N/A that runs mid 11's?
Again not taking anything away from your car. But I don't see how the general is kicking any butt here.
