LOL to all the people that think 107mph is all it can do on stock tires. They go 111mph bonestock and you think they lost 4 mph with mods? God I hate people that think since its not there brand its crap. I like the 05-09 bodystyle better then the 10-11 body style, But I would take an 11 mustang gt over the new camaro. Duel over head cam FTMFW!

It would seem that some are in a little bit of a tizzy that the entry-level stock GT a high school chick could have will have capability to hang with/beat up on most serious bolt-on 4th gen LS1 cars...not to mention GTO's, LS1 C5's, etc...

It's about time; the LS1s are 13 years old for crying out loud. Don't worry, hopefully Obama Motors will be improving on the 5th gens over the next few years.

I honestly cant wait to find one thats been wrecked and take the motor and tranny and swap it in my sn95, hopefully by then someone will have developed a set of heads for it and a decent set of cams.

+1. I'm not a huge Ford fan but I'll give credit where it's due. I'm not gonna hate on it just because it's a Ford.

There are some butt hurt little girls in here. DAMN that bitch is flying! 117mph.. That's going to go some 11.5's soon enough. Heads, cams, full bolt-on cars will prob be in the tens making 450+rwhp.

Game over.

That was you in '98, and TPI owners before you when the LT1 came out. I love the "fox body" logic in here, reminds me of '00. Well for the cost of that new 4th gen Camaro SS I can run 10s with my 88 LX Hatch.

I didn't make this post to talk smack or say GM sucks look at the mustang. The purpose was to bring attention your rival and when you line up against one and they run hard, you can now know why. This is an informative thread not a bashing thread.

lol. Us LT1 guys liked to give the ls1 guys **** back them b/c we could tear them up in our H/C/stroker lt1's. Then the aftermarket got good for the ls1's. Something tells me the aftermarket will be good for these 5.0's in a hurry though!

Ford did a damn good job with this motor. I am a GM fan, but I will give credit when it's due, and Ford deserves it. It's about time they came up with some good competition though.

Looks like a respectable car to me, the one they tested there has 3:73's in it
(factory option).That made the time it ran seem a lil more reasonable to me. Bring em on is all I gotta say, I've already got my 6.0L of pure awesome ready and willing.

I like all the "finally" comments..

As if Ford some how needed to make the GT's fast to win the pony car war. I don't know what reality you people have been living in, but there hasn't been a chevy answer to the Cobra since 2003. Just a heads up we are in the 2011 model year, you do the math.

Those are heavy turds just like the 5th gen. GM built the ls1 in 97. 97 c5 with blower kit = 135-140mph traps. The cobra needs to replace the blower just to get in that range anyway. Even stock for stock they are not worlds apart, but who cares about stock anyway?

Yeah I am. Basically if you can't give credit where credit is due then you shouldn't own a fast car....
