F'in '11 Mustangs!
I was just rading about the '11 Stangs in Motor Trend today, which got me to thinking.
First off, I'm really sick of reading on all the LS boards how much better the new 5.0 is than the Camaro, and how GM needs to get it's act together.
WTF!! Talk about fair weather Camaro fans...Ford builds a GT that is a tenth or two quicker than the Camaro, and all the sudden GM sucks. Like the Camaro aftermarket isn't going to be better/cheaper than the Stang. Good luck with that head/cam swap on the 5.0...better hit the lotto first. Plus I'm betting that motor is pretty maxxed out as it is, and won't respond to mods nearly as well as the LS3 in the Camaro.
I say it's about time the Mustang was finally been competion for the Camaro again. It's only taken ford 18 years to do it. Now racing a GT with a new Camaro or a modded older one is going to be a driver's race and not just a slaughter.
I think that's great.
What pisses me off is the V6 Stang..... 305hp, the 1/4 in 13.7 @102. WTF! My car is only a tenth quicker than the V6! That's what irks me... I loved the satisfaction of knowing that my ten year old, almost 100k, near stock F-Bod could beat a brand new GT ('10).
I can take losing to the 5.0, but I hate the fact that the LS1 (at least the stock ones) is now competition for the V6 Stang!
Ok, rant off.
Guess it's time for heads/cam/stall!!
