Exclamation TVS 5.0 vs ZL1...and plenty of drama to go around


Might as well check out the SVTP thread...

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...ushed-zl1.html

If you want to skip to where I posted the video there, skip to post # 839.

That little 5.0L TVS runs well ....can't really say the same for the fully built + sprayed ZL1.

Says the guy running high 10's with 700+whp lol.



But I agree, that ZL1 wasn't really impressive to be honest. Don't know why dude with the 5.0 didn't want to go from a dig though.

I agree
It's just a dyno number, it doesn't mean ****. What's your best ET/trap with a 4000lb stick car?

Dig race should be soon, once the 5.0 gets his converter thrown in.

Hopefully no one bitches out.

it was just barely starting to sprinkle, roads weren't even wet. Mustang could barely turn over the tires during a burnout before the first race if that tells you how dry the roads were...

Waiting on Hio to defend that ZL1 with 2 Power Addersversus the smaller motor and 1 Power Adder


Owner of the Camero comes off like a D-bag in this video, maybe he isn't normally, but he sure seems like it in the video.

zl1 was about to get pulled on the first race, but stang lifted early, zl1 driver or passenger even said it in video.

2nd race stang wins

3rd race Looks to me like ZL1 let out last race cuz he was about to be passed.

This.

Dude kept on saying how he let out at 130 like thats super fast or some ****. Im not saying moon race to 200 but his *** knew if he ran it out to 150 or 160 that 5.0 was coming around him. 130mph isnt that fast for cars like this, comes pretty quick.

Bottom line the 5.0 was the faster car with A LOT less mods!! A LOT!
