not sure when spinning when you're trying to go straight became cool, but i personally prefer to hook; but thats just me

oh really, my engine is stock with headers, it's just a lightweight car. That's all it takes to make a ls1 fast. We don't need power adders.

Wow. If you really have that much faith in your LS1 then you are ignorant my son.

Did you guys have a good laugh?...actually I speedshifted 3rd then noticed I was about 5 cars ahead and hit the brakes. I know it's not fast but it's relatively fast for the money I've spent, which is not much. Termi, I've owned stock 5.0s and they're quick with a few lil mods, but not like this. But hey, a good driver can make up for some wheezing e7s. It would prolly be a good race.
Dopd Brd, are you my father?....and all this time not knowing....I think I'm gonna cry..lol Nah for real you know what they say, "like father like son."
blk gt you dont like spinning because you have to hook to go fast...pssst thats why you need an lsx.
Isn't it amazing when you start dissing 4.6s how many ford guys come out of the wood works? I can see defending 5.0s, they started all this, but not 4.6's they need help...obviously. Don't get me wrong, I've owned many 5.0s and drove a lot of 4.6's even Cobras...not impressed with 4.6s. I actually wouldn't mind having another 50 just to thrash on.

"Except ease/cost of engine modifications" thats exactly right. I would take a 5.0 over a 4.6 any day. Atleast here when a 302 pulls next to you @ the track you just don't know what you are going to get simply because of all the mods and cost effectiveness!

I used to think the same thing until I bought my 04 Cobra. It's hard to not be impressed with a forged motor that can handle the power a 4.6 forged 4V can handle.
