Guess Ford finally realized that thing was a bit of a porker.
they still cant top the vettes. lol. but they wont hesitate to keep comparing the most expensive v8 mustang to a base ss camaro though.
speedo goes up to 160, really? dont ours go to 165?:lol: and yes bubba i agree
guys i'm bored

New never before used iron oxide cylinder liners? You go first.
Gonna be a killer powertrain....still.
But still an ugly car.
Ahahah @ photo
From what I remember from reading a few of my grandpa's m&ff magazines (has a ford dizzal) the gt500/gt supercar motor was pretty indestructable which was a pretty big draw. Can't say that anymore i'm sure
I can't wait to rape one of these on the street.
Better get that nitrous installed....Quote:

he was probably trying his best not to stall it just cruising off the light :)
lol, lot of haters in here.
Car is nice as hell, looks much better + performs better than the previous bodystyle gt500.
truedat. truedat.
i'm not a fan of nitrous, but at your altitude its really a mustQuote:

I like em. Grabber blue 'specially.
If you take the word ls1 literally an ls1 wouldn't touch it without boost or juice. Needs cubes. Some people have made 500rwhp, but they're rare and can't match the torque for sure
Killer powertrain.Quote:

Not a fan of the juice myself. But for one day at the track, it will be a lot of fun. Plus, never been kicked off the track. :lol:
its an old arguement in the car world... but one that never fails..Quote:

Stock 03 Cobras were beating up on 02 LS1s.Quote:

I think that maybe a little drop, a spoiler delete, and some wider tires would really make it look nice, just imo.Quote:

Correction, they were mollywhopping ls1's :lmao: and with bolt ons it will take any factory lsx to date but the ls9Quote:

ford should die. THAT would just be insanely cool.
I think GM should instead.
fixed. i dont have any quarrels with the big 3 trucksQuote:

Don't lie, wouldn't you rather a mustang rather than a 5th gen now that they have the 5.0? I sure as hell wouldQuote:

My truck (that i haven't driven since early december) draws conversation from strangers, dudes and chicks, still. Doesn't make it any less of a shit heap though :lmao:
Pretty much - and this is the arguement many people make that can't afford to buy a $50+K car, and never willQuote:

Bottom line if you like it then get what you like. I agree it will be a quick sombitch out there on the road. Most LS1's won't hang and the ones that do will be more or less LSX's.
The LS6's held their ground but that is probably one of the most true statements I have ever seen on this topic on this board too!Quote:

Not everyone that spends $50K+ on any car gives a fuck if they can or can't beat every/any other car on the road. The fact is, me/you/he/she/they won't.
Even LS7's?Quote:

Yep, in a vette of course. Nothing's ever apples to apples. I just really love roots superchargers so..Quote:

Now if Ford would just do the same thing again and offer a SC version of a GT , which by the way you can order but not as a different car , then we would have something ...:chuckles:Quote:

While a 10 year old car can be made to go faster , its still 10 years old.Quote:
