Mustang II strikes back...
I fully agree that *5s cars have nothing to do with this thread.
But...

from linky:
What made John's power and speed so impressive is the small displacement and stock source for major portions of his engine program. Displacement is 282 ci-- call it a stock 4.6 liters-- using a stock aluminum Cobra block; stock old style, "B" dual-port, Four Valve cylinder heads, as found in a '95 Lincoln; and a stock 4.6 liter Cobra crankshaft.
Carry on!

Look, MMR is THE shop to beat - no question. I've posted it before and here it is again - the "stock" Ford Racing block is modified, end of story. If you believe MMR uses a stock blocks to make record runs, then you represent everything you hate in Hio, etc.

But the block is an OEM production block that went into vehicles that you can see on the road today. That type of durability in a block is rare. Especially at the price point they can be bought today for.
Look at a Dart block for an SBC. That thing looks like a hull of a battleship. Cross webbing everywhere lots of extra material around the bores and mains. Put the Ford vs Chevy thing aside and I don't know of any other production block that can hold that. Maybe a Bugati or a GTR block? I dont know.

Well I had an 05 Mustang GT with factory 3.55's. A friend at the time had an 01 Cobra and the two cars had some bolt ons and they were dead even, I mean you could take a picture and it would be the same from start to finish. I put in 4.10's and the race didn't change one bit. Not even a fender. He also went from 3.27's, to 4.30's, to 3.73's and guess what, nothing. I would venture a guess an LS car that makes more torque probably wouldn't be much different. And even if it was, it certainly wouldn't be anywhere near 5+ car lengths. BTW these were all roll races.

What lead did they need to gain? The Mustang skullfucked the F bomb twins so bad where it truly mattered, they stopped producing the *************. Get a clue. Money = speed. Don't care what brand you prefer. How fast do you wanna go? A 2V can be built to **** up everyone on this board, so in the end, what's it matter? And no Hammer, whatever bullshit story you believe about the plant being cut is just that...bullshit. The turds didn't sell, much like Ponchos, so they gave up on the shitboxes.

Do you not think the Mustang's significant power advantage, with equal mods at that, had anything to do with being the faster car here?

My bolt on 5.0 went 11.40s blowing the tires off in 98 degree heatlol....stock suspension on a 2 step doesn't work 3760 raceweight. I have about 20rwhp left to gain with bolt ons and then drop a bunch of weight. The suspension needs some serious work and a gear change. 10s is right around the corner. The coyote stock cars fly. They are mostly faceplated/proshifted TKO 500/600s. JPC's car went 10.20s and then 9.96 when they pulled the weight out. The Fox went faster 9.70s I believe. Weight is everything!
