Stockish Stalled T/A vs New Full exauhst 5.0

I think with the powerbands of each car, and the gearing of the Mustang, an LS1 F-body is probably more forgiving if you're a decent-enough driver as far as shift points go. I could be totally wrong, as I've driven neither at the track, but typically that is the situation with cars like that.

True, but it's not about which 5.0 you come up against but more like which driver. The car itself is capable of a good ET and trap BUT in the hands of good driver much like any other car. They do not ALL run like the internet will have you believe.
Recently, I was at the track and a 5.0 Mustang was running. On one run he only managed to trap 82mph in the 1/8. On his next run, he passed the beam while staging. He backed it up and finally staged but also left the car in reverse. Well, you can guess what transpired when the green came on..LOL
Point being, it really comes down who is driving the 5.0. In capable hands, they can run pretty good.

You're still talking a low 12s car that traps 114mph+. And 114mph is on the low side. Compared to (depending on the mods/model we're talking about) a 108-112mph car. 112mph being on the high side for a lid/exhaust car. You saw the video of the H/C/stalled car vs. the intake/exhaust/tune 5.0. That 5.0 would have its hands full with a stock Boss, and a lid/exhaust F-body wouldn't stand a chance against that H/C LS1. The quickest/fastest stock Boss times are right smack in the middle between the '01 and '02-'04 Z06, and if somebody came in here with a lid/exhaust Z28 talking about running with a C5Z he would get laughed at.
c5z > 5.0's

Hammer, who are you trying to convince about the 5.0s? Yourself or who? All you do is say they're not that fast because your one experience with a bad driver. I mean, if you're still aspiring to be like HiO like you have been, he actually gives the 5.0s credit. You're doing it wrong, bud!

Are you seriously trying to turn the tables and say that Ford guys lie about **** more than LS1 owners?
If I had a nickel for every "cam only" build with a 6 page mod list
A Z06 motor LS6 is a simple replacement...
Cam only can mean anything short of a blower/nitrous (and sometimes nitrous=bolt on)
I've seen ported&milled 243's/fast 102/cam/full exhaust/bolt-on erthang/weight reduction/stalled auto cars being called cam only. ONLY IN LS world can that **** fly. Only in LS world...
Now I'll get a bunch of people saying "That's just the terminology that's acceptable"...HOW and WHY did it ever get to that? Did enough people fight over it that the other side just said **** it, let them call it what they want? How can extensively modifying that many parts be coined as a "cam only" car?
I've heard it tried to be explained 50 different ways and it will never cease to amaze me.
