so the camaro had an est combined driver/passenger weight of 450 lbs? damn, give the stang a 250lb driver and that's still roughly 2 mph the camaro is lacking due to weight. this would become apparent esp from a roll. i think if you even the weight that camaro would walk the dog regardless of the driver in the stang. it still managed to pull despite the weight.
i bought a factory radio with an aux input. i think aftermarket radios in these cars look like poop.

This. Damn, seems like nobody is objective anymore about the 5.0. That LS1 runs well but the ignorant comments by manny about "took them so many years"....for ****'s sake there wasn't even a Camaro of the same year to beat an 03-09 'stang.
...and to redctsv...
yep they're all hype...more like heartbreakers.
Shitty driven bone stock 5.0 stays neck and neck with bolt on LS1? The LS was faster, I'd agree, but all the negativity towards the 5.0 reminds me of the pic of the guy with a white towel tied around his eyes.

Not trying to stir the pot Snake, but I like how the blue oval guys allow every single factor into the LS1 vs 5.0 equation EXCEPT the fact that the LS1 is a 13-year old, ancient *** engine. I mean come on, the 5.0 is superior to the LS1 in stock vs stock, bolt-on's alike or whatever, but you can't hide the fact that an LS1 can compete with just simple bolt-on mods, and yesterday's techno 241/853 heads vs. Ford's New state of the art, close to 400cfm flowing Coyote. Upon the modular 5.0's debut, I seriously thought it would take atleast a cam to get anywhere close. Let's be fair now.

The LS1 is undoubtedly a 346ci 10:1 very well performing engine from the factory, I know this because when I park my 302 in the garage I have to park it right next to my dad's ******' 99 Z28...I just thought that this fact would make people give respect to a 5.0 that can beat it stock for stock instead of downplay the performance...technology is a great thing, and the LS1 is a beast, still in my terms (even if some people are still hardasses and say it is "slow"), I just get irked when credit isn't given where it is deserved.

You're right, I guess it just bothers me to see the 5.0 blown off as over-hyped...because it isn't. It performs as well as it should. Manny's ignorance and the like of "oh it took this long" statements make me roll my eyes...because that game can go on forever.
