Cruised to mexico for some runs. I got 2 runs in but no vids (no camera man). 5.0 was stock except exhaust, 1le was cai only. These 2 1le's ran well enjoy

There were 3 1le's. The black 1le was stock except cai and ran the stock 5.0. They ran 3 times and the 1le barely pulled a w on all 3 runs. They were clean runs and we all had a blast

Good runs. How come you never got in on the action?

Didn't wanna waste his time on lowly bolt on 1le's. Such a waste of time.

I did run the white 1le that won 2 of the 3 (3rd was a tie). From a 35 roll to 130 he put a hair under a full car on me (clean run for both of us) i just didn't have a camera man as this was very last minute.

I ran a supposedly bone stock auto ls2 c6 with x pipe and muffler delete and put a full car on him from a dig but had to fight to hook up.

I wasn't aware C6s came from the factory with upgraded xpipes and mufflers deleted. People are shady.

Sounds like a very very strong running 5G. I figured you would have beaten it. Seems 1LEs are the stronger running 5Gs for whatever reason.

The 1le cars ran damn well (2 white ones) but keep in mind were fbo and cammed. The one I ran had the largest (most aggressive) cam the ls3 can handle. I was impressed with my car only losing by just under a full car. The black stockish 1le was a good runner but barely beat the 5.0 (axleback only stock tune) by a fender. Mods on 1le's makes a world of difference.

Sounds about right. Same day I ran my baseline header/Orx/DS runs a H/C L99 had me beat by a tenth and one mph

The 6g I drove felt about as strong as my car when it was near FBO at 430 rwhp.
With h/c it didn't even feel like the same zip code. Butt dyno isn't always accurate but there's just no way period. I'd literally bet my soul my old car would freight train a stock 6g.

I like the 6g and want one but I'm surprised a strong cam 5g can't run away from it.

Never underestimate how much a 5G can underperform

Mine is going under the knife anyway tbh for mods. Dropping it off tomorrow so now I'm stuck in this beauty bc my Tundra is having major issues after the lift.

Have you ever been to the track more than once? You sound like a broken record.
A bolt on 5gen can easily outrun a stock 6gen. Most bolt on 5gens are poop because people simply don't do them right.

What gear was in your 5gen?

marc97taws6

iTrader: (6)

Yes, I have. I'm sorry if the results of the 5G hurt your feelings

Hio with all due respect 5gs are not impressive. This is why I prefer a 5.br0 over one. On the other hand i am not too big of a man to say I have earned a new level of respect for a proper fbo cammed 1le. Yes those DO impress me although I personally prefer a s550 fbo over one.

marc97taws6

iTrader: (6)

I'm kind of surprised you went 6G with your plans of boosting it over s550. Then again, you're a die hard manual guy so I can see why you wanted to steer clear of the mt82

So many 5.0s with that junk *** tranny. I don't know why guys rather pick up a 5.0 when you can find a older shelby for around the same price. Forge motor, supercharged, and a better tranny.
Unless these 5.0s are getting dirt cheap now

marc97taws6

I'm assuming they want a newer car and aren't impressed by the stock older Shelby gt500 results.

I'm very impressed with the 6r80 auto and what it can handle but I agree with your sentiments regarding 6 speed manual Mustang owners and the mt82 and whatnot.

As far as cheap, the 5.0 started out a bit cheaper than 5G and 6G and has been depreciating a bit faster as well. One can pick up a first year Br0 for teens now

To be honest it doesn't have anything to do with disrespect when i tell you that you don't know wtf you're doin. It has to do with you not modding fir acceleration. It has to do with you nit looking at the car and giving it what "IT" needs. You're doin what you want .....not what the car wants. That's 2 drastically different ways of goin about modding a car.

If someone asked me what 5gen to buy to do bolt ons to for the best acceleration it would not be a 1le. If someone asked me what the funnest affordable pony car would be to play with and drive ever it would be a 1le. Seemingly similar but there are pieces there that would get changed off the 1le so no use in paying for that package. Not to mention the trans gearing of a regular 5gen would benefit acceleration more on the end product.
