I know this for a fact. My friend has always been able to beat out my 11 2SS with his 11 GT/CS and his car runs naturally too lean for its own mechanics. He lost cylinder number 8, as many other Mustang drivers have posted, and they replaced the entire half of his engine under warranty. The knock timing is bad, live axle, etc. are all points against the car.
The Mustang was always one of my favorite cars, but Ford's dropping the ball on their construction of their "masterpiece" turns me off to the brand. So go ahead, continue running better quarter miles...cause I would rather stick with the car that I can give to my son one day instead of junking, even if it can't beat a 5.0 Mustang.  |
Yeah, buddy, sure, whatever makes you sleep better at night.
My car has 24k hard miles on it and I haven't had a problem with it.
