THE Problem With 5.0 Mustangs

I didn't race any. We're talking about trucks though, not vipers with a bed. I'm talking about something you put a towing package on without voiding the warranty. But anyway, since you brought it up: They had an SRT10 at my local track not too long ago. I was not impressed at all. It ran 3 times, I don't remember the exact times but I know it was mid-13's at around 105. It got beat by a '99 lightning once, and an '01 lightning another time. The last time it ran it beat a '97 GT, wow. By the way, the '01 that beat it was 100% stock, as was the SRT10. The lightning ran .04 quicker but was just shy of 2 mph slower. I'll admit that its pretty cool looking except for that wing. I'd be willing to bet that from light to light I could at least keep up with it. At the track it made all of its time up past the 1/8 mile mark. Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT

LMAO!!! I'll bet that Murano is pretty quick huh. I know a while back when you first got it I commented on the looks of it. I didn't really like it back then but I must admit that those things have grown on me. I really like them alot now. I heard that they actually put a V8 in the infiniti version?? That would be a pretty mean SUV. Erik D. '94 white lightning '01 white GT

Well said Pauli I have never liked the "sound" of any Mopar.

Truthfully, and I know this is not PC, but I have always loved the sound of a Chevy (with the right cam and pipes) more than any other. And I'm a Ford gal... go figure!

Man.. don't take it all so literally. You'd think he was talking sh*t about your momma or something! Go start your big ol ugly assed truck and suck on your exhaust pipe for awhile. Maybe it will mellow you out.

YOU DID NOT!!!!!! I can't believe what I just read.

LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!! That's the funniest thing I've ever read in this NG by

Nevermind the facts, Hairy, just give me the details!

This is a car, not an ark. Scholars aren't even sure what a cubic was. A 442 cubic car would be way too big for most roads.

Nevermind the facts, , just give me the details!

Truly, one of the saddest testimonies on the quality of this chatroom.

dat sumbitch is so fast it caught his camper on fire during re-entry..

hehe..

good point!

moparman are you serious? i mean if you are a true moparhead you know

i put a hurting on all these guys with new hemi trucks who think they got the s*it. completely obliterated one the other day - at the next light the guy goes "uh, that's a little better than what i'm used to." (i drive an 04 cobra vert, stock pulley, intake and exhaust mods) i guess i shoulda said, "hey that thing got a hemi?"

but you are coming into this group disrespecting ford trucks and mustangs. ("pissant ford owners", "chicken-s*it mustangs") i have no disrespect to dodge because i used to live eat & breathe mopar (60's and 70's musclecars)

i actually cant wait to run a srt-10 truck, that'll might be a little closer (if he can drive it), but i NEVER see any.

Sorry Erik.... I have to agree... a good Chevy truck with the right pipes sounds better than my Mustang ever will.

But sound isn't everything...

Then get the f*ck out. Thanks =).

Here ya go..... you regulars might have seen this from KB, but Moparman should take a look at a 2v GT vs a badass Viper.

POTD!

Sad. Sad indeed.

There's nothing like the "moan" of a stock Mustang 5.0. It's as distinctive as an older Oldsmobile with its "sandpaper" exhaust under full throttle.

This should say *not* really brand loyal. I've owned a couple of Chevy cars, and my current winter ride is a Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. I recognize that Mustangs are, by far, not the best cars in the world, but for the buck, they've got a lot of potential and fun, and I like the looks of them...
