Bolt-on A6 Coyote vs Stock A6 C7

To the bolded part, me as well - hence why I posted the video. Was not trying to create an LS2/LS3/LT1 vs. 5.0 debacle.
To be honest, a stock M6 LS3 would still likely have about as much power as your buddys light bolt-on M6 LS2, if not more. The LS3 is an awesome engine.
The C7 isn't fast "for what it is"? Are you kidding me? I'm not trying to down the 5.0 or anything, but all of that appears to be excuses as to why it lost.

There's one locally that got beat up pretty good by some not terribly fast cars. With the new LT1's torque I think some people expected it to be almost C6 Z06 fast. Not the case. At least the LS2 C6's were somewhat within striking distance of a C5 Z when they came out.
I believe the video is perfectly relevant to his response. He said would you rather change a cam or an intake. Would you rather change an intake or a tune?
but if you wish, the blue c7 is stock tune.

What about this run? What's the excuse? Bad DA? 60 foot time was fine. This video says this C7 runs 114 through the traps, so all C7's do that

Nice car, but let's not pretend it's a straight line killer out of the box.

Hell, Evan's max effort bolt-on boss is still having a hard time beating that tune only C7...
Just giving you ****, Evan.
So everybody owns the lightest 5.bro?
Quit posting slow cars, you douche.

If my dad was a King I wouldn't have to listen to one sided hill billies talk about has-been cars. But here we are.
Run what you brung dude.
Ohhh so the HP/TQ numbers that Chevy post are real and not marketing.... but the Ford numbers are just made-up bullshit marketing? Oh I see bro. Its all made up, were all clueless and you are in on the truth. Please expose us.
Even if we assume what you are saying is correct. The margin is very little and the coyote has 1.2L less displacement per cylinder.
You remember when chevy nutswingers were losing their minds and refused to acknowledge that the 5.0 would make these power numbers? And then when they came true it was all about the 5.0 being maxed out? Nope and nope. Too bad.
If HP numbers are truely marketing, especially for Ford....then why did the 03 Cobra post up 390HP/390TQ as engine production numbers? If those numbers were true then "bolt-on" LS2 Camaros would have competed if not wiped the floor clean with that car. But it didnt happen.
Do you happen to have link(s) that support your claims of the following facts: Chevrolet Camaros have: A) A larger aftermarket B) Cheaper parts C)Responds better pound for pound better than the 5.0 Coyote?
Because I have plenty of links that say that in the very worst situation Mustang still competes neck and neck. And in more realistic conditions are better. I know with absolute certainty that the Ford Mustang has statistically the largest production aftermarket of any car period right now.
We could do this all day but fact is the ls3 is the better engine period.
Cheaper and easier to work on, more sought after than the 5.0 etc...
Please tell us how many new 5.0 swaps are in older mustangs than lsx swaps oh also please tell us how many more newer 5.0 swaps are in Miatas, 240zs etc... than a lsx. We will wait.
Displacement doesn't really matter anymore considering the 5.0 can rev higher and make more hp numbers over the pushrod engines. Yet every time people use boosted lsx engines for a reason 6 bolt main, lighter and smaller engine, cheap parts to build the engine and most importantly the respond very well.

As has been pointed out I completely worded my statement wrong about the Cylinder/CU thing. The statement remains true....the coyote is giving up 1.2 Liters on the motor.
Regardless......for the sake of the conversation here are the specs for all relevant vehicles straight from their manufacturers.

CW= Curb Weight
M5/A6 = Manual/Auto + Total gears
Weights in parenthesis for Mustangs are in comparison to GM vehicles
Weight for auto cars are in blue below

People using peak HP and HP/L are just proving that they know nothing about racing.
Average power is what makes a car ET, and the LS3 has the 5.0 beat by 15-20hp alllllll through the RPM range. Being lighter, cheaper, easier to build, responding better to mods, making more power, and being physically smaller are all just added icing on the cake
.
5.0 is a great engine, and probably Fords best for a long time, but its no LS3. If it wasn't so damn expensive and complicated to build then it would be a much harder decision.

Ok so you wanna bring up the whole displacement thing? Really when the 5.0 is physically bigger than the ls3! It also weighs more than the ls3. It also revs higher than the ls3 it also Cost more to build the 5.0 than the ls3...
We could do this all day but fact is the ls3 is the better engine period.

Please tell us how many new 5.0 swaps are in older mustangs than lsx swaps oh also please tell us how many more newer 5.0 swaps are in Miatas, 240zs etc... than a lsx. We will wait.

Dude, if the 5.0 weighed 50 pounds less and was smaller in every way than an LS3, the new measure for efficiency would be less moving parts ![Icon Lol](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_lol.gif)
Along the same lines of every Camaro being a road race car now that the Mustang spanks dat ***.

The only time hp/ltr matters is if you're competing in a class with CI limits. In the real world it's useless.
