If thats outrageous..then I guess a loaded 2SS Camaro is just plain crazy?

I picked up a base 5.0 with 3.73 rear as the only option for 27.5. With IL tax, title, plates I was out the door at 30k even.

I've owned three 4th gen f-bodies in the past and was seriously considering a '10 SS, but this new Mustang is definitely going to give GM some competition. They're both great cars, and the prices are competitive. I remember in '02 I could pick up a stripped down Z28 for 22k. Considering that was eight years ago, I'd say that if you factor in inflation prices haven't really changed much.

Great choice! Get out to the track and show everyone what it can do.

I remember reading all the popular mags in 1999 and they said you could get a base LS1 z/28 for under $20k. They called it the bargain of the century.

Typically with domestic car clubs V8 guys are generally more entusiastic about joining than V6 guys. That would explain your skewed numbers.

I remember when everyone on this forum said the 5.0 wouldn't handle more than ~500rwhp. Oh how things have changed.

wasnt just this forum, plenty of mustang forums were thinking 500-550rwhp max too

a_Username · 11-07-2010, 09:35 PM

Pretty impressive. Although, I don't if anyone is running a KB with that high of boost on an otherwise stock LS3/L99.

Not everyone. I and a few others pointed out the changes to the previous 4.6 rod design and massively improved head flow that would allow the 5.0 to make a lot more power safely. That was more of a joke than a statement meant to start an argument though, so don't take it too seriously. Friendly jest.

You can do wonder's with Ti-VCT like run higher boost. That's how you can get away with filling the tank with 87 octane on a 11:1 5.0L and still make 400whp. Its all in the cam timing and once tuner's know how to control them you can make all kinds of power. I'm a little jealous that im stuck with the old school 5.4L.

Well Ford might make bigger displacement version in future.. maybe? Nice 6L supercharger or even better turbos.. (i like turbos)
