My buddy was the fastest m6 zl1 on Camero5 for nearly 2 years. He couldn't beat me so he sold it and went automagic. Now I'm his bitch. lol

Hahahaha sounds like someone I know. Me and the guy with the 5xr went to a stick shift shootout and he ran against a C6Z on nitrous putting down 900-1000whp and he beat the vette because he couldn't drive for ****. Sold it the next week and went automatic. They're faster, but are they really more fun? I drive a 60e car but I want a T56 car so bad just because of how much more fun they are. I've drove his mustang numerous times and I find myself smiling with the pedal on the floor too often

Hahaha definitely faster, but a clutch is so addictive. I've thought about going manual valve body in mine when I get a built one. How do you like it?

It's pretty badass. The automagic that you gotta drive is alright.

It is the best way to do it IMO. No toon issues, just pull gears as planned.

I would love to go 80e, but I just don't want to have to get a custom converter, driveshaft, and all the other b.s. to swap. I don't plan on much more than heads/cam/150-200 shot on this motor so I'll just got MVB 60e with a brake until the motor pops then onto a turbo 4.8,5.3, or 6.0 for the big power

There are plenty of us on here.... i think since this section is now dominated by people from other forums it only fuels the fire for the dick heads to get on the defensive. Are the other (mustang) forums so bad that this is where the fast stangs end up?

SRK is equal opportunity. No need to get all brand racist here.

Most other forums won’t allow the words street and racing in the same sentence. Just this one and svtperformance.

Sure is, it’s nothing but fake stories and “can I beat this guy if I race him” but if you post a video it gets moved to the pics and vids section....but at least it’s not deleted.

Good runs. Back in texas guy down road had a 5XR. Hardly ever drove it as it sit in garage more than anything. He tried to run me 1 time and got embarrassed in front of his girl. Lol. But he was stock and my 5.0 made 640whp. Lol

So true, RK over there has always been kinda lame. SD used to be entertaining when all the original SD patrons were active. I hate that Facebook has basically replaced most traditional forums.
