I don't think the 200 shot is very fair.

A 200 shot can most definitely be the equalizer for the unicorn blood and rainbow sauce that the 5.0 is purported to run on...

why do people with slower cars always critique faster cars?

im not sure that is Big Hammers argument. I think hes saying you only talk about your car. Here is an example...

After i went to town on my car and completed the suspension front to back, before i removed the front hotckis sway bar and changed the wheels... i took a few BMW and vette guys for a ride and they said it was like a 500hp go kart. I also drove a stock boss after having modded mine, and it was no comparison. Cars were on a completely different level. IMO, though in stock form, the solid axle has its quirks.... you have an *** load of potential with different suspension to make it handle incredible. To this day i still havent been in a better handling car then MINE, however i also havent been in any cars that were heavily suspension modded either. Stock, there are better handling cars... after market... the sky is the limit.

Nice run. The 5.0 weighs about 3650 with the manual before driver and any weight reduction. The mods and 75 shot it should be running lower 11's around 120-123 with its weight depending how well the driver bangs.

I think a few are getting a little mislead by the word NIROUS. Its "nitrous" 5.0 which yes technically it is. With only a 75 shot its far from a "nitrous car" imo. I know when I shot a 75 i felt NOTHING. Jetted a 125 and it was night and day.

I cant say whether either car underperformed but i do know it was a damn good race!

From another outside view...I just think he is relating his personal anecdote to a given topic. It's how he relates to the topic at hand as a racer and I understand it. Otherwise, it's hard to get involved in topics about completely unrelated cars and specs other than "good vid.", "good runs", "that car sux", etc. He enjoys cars and the car scene, and absorbs it all by getting involved whether it be racing, talking about racing, bench racing, etc. IMO

The stang did pretty well....I really expected the formula to pull away.....bravo to ford for finally coming out with a GT that can hang with the big boys.....all GT's before were slow....I know cause I had a 2v GT
But then I got a Camaro SS
