I can't wait till they start getting totaled. That motor will be perfect for my Mach.

It suppose to be a direct swap. FRPP is making an adaptor for the computer to run this engine.

[QUOTE=GTRACER88;13143172]I see where your getting confused. 185 were the PI heads, the one in my GTs. If you don't believe me...

Yeah your right my bad. I was misinformed by someone at school. But I still think the new 5.0 motor is a lot better. If I wasn't a broke college student I'd consider buying one lol.

It's cool. Once you said 185 I immediatly knew you were talking about the GTs head. Happens to the best of us. I too am a broke college student... I keep telling myself to wait after college but the car is to damn tempting.

Here we go with the magazine racing. So you're saying they're comparing two 2010's to one 2011? Why not wait until dodge and chevy release their 2011 models? Not saying there will be much difference, but you never know.

Well, this just looks like the 80s again, the stang was faster till the 89 Formula came out that was lighter than the camaro and Trand Am and cracked the stang, but alas, GM doesnt have ANYTHING RWD that is light, hope they surprise me...

What happened to the vette? Are we just talking pony cars? For the price of a fully optioned GT you could pay a little extra and get a used C6 z06 (~3100 lbs), if you're going in might as well go ***** deep. Not brand new, but I have seen a number of 06-07 z06's for low 40's.

Read the statement again, he said, "GM doesnt have ANYTHING RWD that is light" . Last time I checked a Corvette is a GM product bud.

I guess I need to go check my rule book for comparing vehicles.

Apparently not...

I am loving watching some of you guys get all bent out of shape, and reaching for lame excuses on why the Mustang isn't THAT good.

This GM vs. Ford crap is so played out, and stupid. A good car is a good car no matter who makes it. I could never comprehend what imaginary wall is blocking the Chevy guys (or Ford guys) from liking a car made by a different company.

Not picking sides. Have had 2 mustangs and one lightning, two of which were brand new. Basically, my reference is to all 3.

Yes, the ponys, the vetter is a different breed 2 seater.

I just hate the way the mustang looks with the recent change, the 05-09 was not bad and looked bad *** with the body kits on them(roush,saleen,cobra), but the newest version looks like **** to me unless it has some aftermarket treatment like Roush.

I just hate the damn dodges, they look like *** to me. The Magnum is not bad at all, but the challenger....nope. There are a few that are OK with solid dark colors but i still dont like them.

Yeah, the new rears look horrible. I was behind one the other day and noticed the sequential tail light blinkers, you got to be kidding me. The other two aren't far behind.

We shall see what the 5.0 does for the GT sales. Definately makes it more appealing.
