Being proud of a 8.8 is hilarious. 3-valve mustang problems. Go to a 1/4 mile and run 14s.
Haha, ya know **** aye

I'd rather have a car that can run 12s stock, as opposed to a car that is lucky to run 13s with bolt-ons

there's no doubt the 5.0 is significantly better than a 4.6

well what is Embarrassing is that you are boasting about a full bolt on 3v running a likely stock 5.0. my auto with my heavy butt in it witb only tune midpipe and gt500 mufflers ran a 12.5 1/4 8.8 1/8th at 88 spinning crappy continental winter tires.oh yea forgot to add the d.a was about 1400ft too.

It don't matter if it's stock or not. A 5.0 should be beating the **** out of any small 3v if it is all that Ford and ya claim it to be. Not running 82 mph. I could care less for the times that 3v ran what I'm hyped up about is this Lil 3v walking away so hard on this 375whp manly car.

So that means they are slow since you didn't see it. I know Thomas Adams in your area. Base auto with drag radials. Stock tune so he dyouoesn't void warranty. Want to run with your brothers car for say $200.00? I'll set it up and give you his phone number. I can tell you high 8s not even close to what he runs

F Body value has tanked. That means pretty much any idiot that works at Walmart can buy one.

OP is a moron. Your brother wasn't pulling away from a car that trapped higher than him. The 5.oh was catching up from his obvious bad start.

Well I congradulate him. He did a great job w/ that. I mean 375hp w/ a 1mph higher trap speed then a 305hp car is great. #patontheback

Ignorance is bliss I guess. If you really think that one poor example of driving in a 5.0 is representative of how they should run then you have another thing coming. This is coming from a GM guy.

And if you think that your brothers 3V "walking" hard is trapping 1mph slower then you're absolutely retarded.

What does that beast in your sig run Sepno?

I wouldnt say .1 in the 1/8th and 1mph would be classified as walking away hard..besides anything can happen on a track if the driver is not consistent...example there is a guy here in s.a who has a 13 gt500 that cannot get into the 12's.

I'm guessing it couldn't get out of it's own way just like his brothers car and that stock 5.0. Bottom of the barrel racing crew.
