5th gens do pretty good on the street vs track tho. i took my bolton 5th gen to a local airstrip race. out of 150 + cars in the street tire class i got 2nd. they just dont do so well when u have to launch them hard . i took out 2 5.0 one was a bolt on car and other was a bolton and spray. 5th gens are fun in stuff like that. ppl didnt believe that my car at the time was just a exhaust email tune cold air intake only.

Wait..I didn't get a auto and manuel in my 5th gen, I'VE BEEN ROBBED!.
Good kill though.
I've been trying to find a new 5.0 to play with in this town but no one that has one want's to play. I'm also the only the only one in town with a 5th gen that will run besides this one older guy. His car is cam, turbo, all supporting mods, made close to 600rwhp..it's his garage queen though.

His vids suck and always has someone else starring in them.while im not a ford nutswinger, i do have a lot of respect for the new 5.0
my car trapped 113 er so and barely outran a stock 2011 gt. definitely didnt kill it like this 5th gen. the guy is a hell of a driver but it does seem like more "car guys" buy new 5.0s than the average 5th gen owner/dummy.
not saying there arent cool knowledgeable people that own both, just seems like the people that are in the market for a car like that lean towards the ford here lately

Lmao The only problem with this is he features others who can when he can't His vids suck and always has someone else starring in them.
lol
Dude you should be way faster than 113 with a cam......that's why you respect the 5.0's instead of own them. Hell you should be faster than that with bolt-ons.

I went 112.8 with mac headers/ory, udp, lid, maf at full weight when the car was ls1.
Your cammed car should be there or more at your weight. not really trying to bust your ***** but something is up. Maybe it's your driving, maybe tune. Who knows but it should go better.

I'm sure the da hurt you a little. But that's bolt-on territory bud. Actually we got Notches(ls1 Camaro) to go over 116 w/o headers and only about 200lbs worth of weight reduction. Decent da though.

well not all tracks are created equal even when the weather is seemingly decent. i've been on days when Bolton ls1's are trapping 107-108mph and cammed ones 111-113mph. Bolton ls2 gto's 108mph and pullied cobras 113-114mph. if his cammed ls1 had trouble with a Bolton 5.0 then that sounds about right. aren't Bolton 5.0's trapping 118mph or so on the internet world (where all cars run 3mph faster than average)

thats at mokan
not exactly the fastest track in the midwest
last time we.were there a ford gt didnt run faster than bottom 12s at over 120
theres nothing wrong with the car, its faster than a bolt on tuned 5.0, its plenty fast for a full weight cam only car

113mph is **** for a "proper" set up cammed LS1 4th gen. Not to sound like an *** OP, I'm sure your car can do much better. Just saying.
Hell, a "proper" set up cammed LT1 can do 113mph lol

thats true, but maybe not at his track that same night. People only usually post bests and then other people get those bests and use it as a baseline. If his cammed LS1 is beating 5.0's then its probably running how it should.

Thing that sucks is the only two 5.0s around me I raced. No one has muscle cars around here. I'm plagued with evo's and sti's. You can't drive wo seeing at least a half dozen of them.
Very true man, I guess I forget sometimes people live up in elevation. Just used to Chicago which is pretty much sea level. But everything else sucks lol

Oh I hear ya, A LS1 doesn't need a cam to beat a 5.0 though. I've beaten one that was stock-m6, and a auto one w a cb at least, last Spring. I'm just full bolt ons, but I can drive and the car is very healthy. Now I would imagine I would need a cam to take down a full bolt on one though.
