Anyhow, I do however share your sentiments that it's silly for someone to say all these Blown GT's are weak. What people consider "fast" or "slow" is totally relative. But for someone to say that in a general context is asinine. Mostly likely just spewing brand loyalist crap. I am just like you in that I like and respect most all sports & muscle car's not just the one I drive.
So you might be selling it soon? What do you plan on buying? 03 Cobra? Fbody? Vette?

Im going back with the GNs
I had one b4 my Zs and it was a monster so most likely it will be a GN. Last edited by Joegt38; 08-25-2005 at 07:40 AM.

Yes the bigger the wheel the heavier it makes it plus no traction, when tryin to obtain traction you need side wall flex on the tire. Thats why ya notice at the track or at the street races people let the air outta the tire, when you see the wrinkle in the tire on a hard launch that means there hookin hard, if you dont have a side wall due to larger wheels you wont get that wrinkle affect.

listen I was not saying that all 4.6 mustangs are crap what I was saying is that all the ones where I live are not that great Im sure most are just stock with the blowers on and yes I agree that your starting out with just a little over 200 rwhp so its harder to make them go.I know you can make them run good yours seems to run really good.and yes fast is fast,ford chevy or other.and before I got my ls1 I was a ford guy had a 95 mustang procharged all the goodies was a great car.and I do like the 4.6 but I favor the 4valve.just to let you know my car made513rwhp at 8-9psi and 536rwtq on a dynojet.and I must say your car is fast I give props for that!

Just get some nitto 555's and some 16 or 17 inch stock ss or z28 wheels. That way you can get decent traction and still have a fairly stock lookin car. Only thing is how are you gonna keep the sound down of a roarin LS1 as opposed to a 3800 v6? Sounds like its gonna be a real nice sleeper if you can keep the engine noise down. Good luck with the conversion!

We haven't gone yet. I have been for a ride in his, and he has been in mine. His car does pull freaking hard though.
Thx

The problem with that is if you want alot of power and to be fast on the street your going to have to sacrafice the stock look you'll have a ton of power but never hook.
Right now about 425, but thats with a 150 shot of nitrous. Yes i plan on putting an ungodly amount of power down , as im saving for the sts turbo kit too. Yes as you say the sacrafice is what is scarying me, that why i was wanting to go more " show" looking rims...hence the 18s, so i can play it off as its just a show v6 camaro.

Hell even from a roll with 20's the gt is DONE..
Id take the ls1 anyday over a blown stang on 20s.
AS far as 4.6 stangs being crap.Well i say different.but i respect any fast car esp ones built by the owners themselves.
Hell get a gt if you want to hussle everyone thinks we are slow..But some of us surely are not.
