Just happened to run across this as well. You mentioned the 2010 Mustang not being able to outperform the 4th Gen LS1s even though they cost more. I don't think that's necessarily the best point to make. Ford really let the 4.6 hang around too long from a performance standpoint. Nobody will argue the 98/02 FBodies were faster than any GT up to '11. But to bring up a price argument, I could make the counterpoint that 5th Gen Camaros cost more than 03/04 Cobras but still aren't as quick... Almost anytime you compare a new car, it's going to cost significantly more than an older competitor. I'm just glad it's not 1998 anymore... 225hp GT vs 350ish hp LS1s.... Ugh... |

built 3v w/ 520whp+ stock and no "Chinese built trans" When I test drove my buddies 5.0L it didn't feel as fast as my old F body but the speedo was saying otherwise. It felt very European when it came to power delivery which I didn't care for..... maybe that could be changed with a tune and louder exhaust.

[QUOTE=Truck Norris;4514461]Should'a got a 2010 Roush Stage 3 instead.
built 3v w/ 520whp+ stock and no "Chinese built trans" Like I said, the 5XR buy wasn't planned. When I bought the car the tranny probs and the piston clatter hadn't made it to the fore front yet. As far as the 2010 RS3, not a fan of the 4.6L and the new Coyote motor had so much promising potential. |

Owning SSes for 50 Years

Could be...I just did a cursory google on it, but most of the time, Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords as an example know how to tweak the most possible performance from a new Mustang and their times are much better than the average owner will ever get from a bone stock car. Interesting, the best they could get out of a bone stock 2011 5.0 was 13.2

The engines made closer to 420 hp (365-380 rwhp) stock. They weighed in at 3660 lbs. and 3780 in the convertibles. They are a good .2+ faster through the 1/4, while trapping in the 112's-113's and cost $32,xxx brand new. IRS, 6 speed, supercharged V8, pony car A true trailblazer! |
