TRMach - Got any videos of that thing in action?

I love these threads, I always enjoy running people that believe everything they read! At the dragstrip they always think they did something wrong, it takes some 3 or 4 runs to figure it out. I just run to feel the rush, win or lose I still have fun!

Hmm, not really. There's a YouTube video of it on the dyno at Tillman Speed, and I have a real boring video of me just driving around da hood, obeying all traffic laws, testing out a video camera mounted in a pair of sunglasses that I got as a Christmas present LOL! A friend has a video of us out on the Interstate playing around last spring, but I've never seen it.

Exactly! It's all in good fun, to me atleast.

I come onto this site because I've been a fan of the LSx engines for years. My camaro and my yukon are both LS engines, with the exception of my MC which is a Gen I SBC. IMO, they (LSx) are one of the most reliable engines to have been mass produced. I'm not a big fan of mustangs, but I respect them for what they are and they do have a place in my heart (but at the bottom). Just irritates me when people bash them without any supporting back-up, other than the ole' "I ran one and I waxed it! Mustangs are slow!" This is not in refererence to My Slow Camaro's post, the troll I'm talking about knows who he is

What do you think of ls1 powered mustangs?

About the same as my old red '94 LT4 powered GT

Why do you ask?

VERY NEAT!

Though many of my Mustang buddies have tried to crucify me for saying such things...lol.

I always said that my 99 Cobra would have been damn near perfect from the factory if it had come with a live axle and an LS1.

**crossbredfoxbody** · 01-14-2010, 04:01 PM

Just asking bc thats what I have in mine.

**BLKCLOUD** · 01-14-2010, 05:21 PM

Kinda guessed that from your username!

you're like a steaming pile of awesome mixed with lame sauce. i dont know what to make of you.

**AKA Speedy** · 01-14-2010, 10:11 PM

lol When I totaled my first T/A I thought about getting a Mach 1 to replace it. They do look better than any GT and they out perform most Mustangs other than the 03-04 cobras, but after riding with my buddy when he was test driving it I'm glad I bought another T/A. With the 3.55 gears it feels torquey in the lower gears, but it didn't seem to impress me with the umph I get from my LS1.

Did any of you guys know that some 3v stangs come factory with 3.73s?

Ya, its an option.

okay... Last fall I was out at the track talking to a guy with a 09 and he said it had factory 3.73 and I guess I'm not use to stuff like that coming straight from the factory. He was running in the same times that stock ls1's were running (mid 13s) so I was impressed.

**BLKCLOUD** · 01-15-2010, 05:54 AM

Everything else being equal, an LS1 still has a measurable advantage over an 09 GT, but the 3.73's do help (assuming it can still be hooked on stock tires).

**johno** · 01-15-2010, 06:31 AM

I hate fords

**NavyTATwo** · 01-15-2010, 06:59 AM

I don't hate them, they taste like chicken!

Just kidding, I just like my Goat and T/A better!

Okay, but I don't know anyone who ever got a good feel for a car from the passenger seat! So when you go to buy a car, you just ride shotgun with the salesman?

**wenn_du_weinst** · 01-15-2010, 01:30 PM

I gotta say this
I absolutely hate it when people put a gm motor in a ford or a ford in a gm
might as well throw in a vtec imo

**crossbredfoxbody** · 01-15-2010, 02:09 PM

First of all it's not a "motor" it's a engine and its just a machine it don;t matter what you put in it. I like the ford body and love the ls engine's So I put two of my favorite things together,
