The t/a not my car, it's jmans, t/a weight 3460 before the 12 bolt so it it easly 35xx pounds. The coyote has been lighten up with a k member , so it should be in the low 3600 or high 3500 the cars are very close, but a ohc engine will run more rpms and have a better power band up top

Nice video, even with the blurry parts. 
That S/C 4.6L just sounds good no matter what it's in. I'll pass anyway, but it sounds good and runs quite well.
The initial races were nice too, handing off the win basically depending on who hit the throttle 1st.
A 12 bolt could add closer to 70 lb or end up lighter than stock, depending on which parts were used.
A K-member shaves about 20-26 from S-197. He probably has additional parts, which also drop weight. Even so, it's about 3600 all stock for the light versions of the GT.
The races were what they were and the T/A did well, even with heads, cam, etc. in consideration. It's the STREET... anything can happen and traction is an issue in many cases. NO NEED to be glossy and try to make things look even by spitting out nonsense. If you're unaware of the weight savings, just look it up. At very least, you can get a good idea.
Nobody cares about the mileage on a vehicle that runs fine. It's not like you accidentally raced it. We also know the cam has been upgraded, so why not mention that? Odds are, something has been replaced regarding the suspension and there's little doubt the T/A doesn't have stock exhaust... it's awfully loud for that. Besides, who does all that engine work only to leave the exhaust stock?
The number of cams in each car matters only to the degree of which engine design it happens to be.
Ultimately, it looks like you're trying to excuse the T/A for not doing better... it did fine, so don't bother.

I was very pleased with the 99,000, heads, intake 5.7 on stock suspension vs a intake, full exhaust, 4 over head cam 5.0 with tubular k member, shocks and springs.

I am not excusing nothing, y'all are looking to fare in to this, the hole 4cam is a inside joke, because i keep hearing the t/a has heads ( that are based off a 5.3) both cars weight close with close hp number it came down to the driver and I prevailed,

People here like to whine about the OHC thing, so if it was a joke cool. The car runs strong for sure, but given the weight with the heavy rear it makes more sense. Good run.

You need to get off my nuts, first race I was dead on you can here the guy say 1-2-3 then I hit it, second race hit rev limter on a shift but if the video was not edit you seen I was pulling around him and almost was nose to nose when he let off, 3rd race was perfect and the video was cut short also

Okay... I'll give him 2 of them... THAT is winning! 
It's obviously a joke... Hence,
SISTER! I'm sorry that I hurt your feelings... Sheesh...
I already told you the T/A did fine and you need NOT make excuses for it.
Since you insist on being a little baby about it... anyone could be rude to you too... after all, you LIED about the modifications, even after we were already told them about the T/A... You claimed heads and intake. We know the full list not only includes a cam swap and all the bolt on parts(obviously) but also the exhaust, or are you going to claim that loud **** was stock... but you went out of your way to claim the 5L has "full exhaust" as if that's some major thing for a 5L, but nothing for a T/A, right along with failing to mention the cam swap...
Finally, GROW SOME NUTS and maybe I'll recognize having gotten on them!
Unlike you, I'm not a liar.
