Raced a new 5.0 last night

[Damnittsteve]

yale exactly what kinda race car do you own?

[Red Fire Dragon]

Broke dicks like these kids can't even afford maps to the track, much less admission fees.

That's a good one...I have money and a GPS ...

[STROKD]

Ive never had a 2valve or desire to get one. Last stang I had was an 04 cobra, the new gt's seem pretty nasty though. I'm trying looking around to snag up a cheap viper gts

Exactly... I was too busy not wanting to be slow messing around with the outdated Windsors...

I still don't understand the mod motor obsession. They sound like ass in a can and run even worse.

Why don't you take your shit to the track instead?

Like you never opened up a car on the street??

[Damnittsteve]

And regards have their own Olympics. What's your point?

regards have their own olympics???? lmfao!

[SSMAN]

Nice cars, just not into the gay names that were given to them. Sounds like a low budget Jap movie.

I'll be there this weekend in my shitty blown 2v.

You're going to put a blower on an 11.5:1 compression car? E85 must be everywhere around you.

He must be planning a name change to majorcarnage.

Once my 98 cobra is running, I'll want to run the new 5.0s n/a before I put a JT-trim on.

11.5 compression, degreed cams, and short runner intake.

See what happens

i'll be over 600 at the wheels through an s-trim 2v with less than half the investment of a 2012 gt. it's all in the build. a stock 2012 gt won't beat the car your 03 lost to either. well, at least not with the same driver(s). i got my car for really cheap though, it was my dads. if i were to buy a car it would be a fox or a 4.6 4v.

Keep focusing on just horsepower, if that helps you enjoy your car more. In reality, you are comparing a 10 year old car to brand new technology. The fit and finish of the new 5.0 is lightyears ahead of the SN95 platform. Your sounding like the next-generation of the "fox with mods" argument.

Your comparing apples and oranges.

Your argument is technically invalid, since you started with a used New Edge. Try the same scenario, only go back to 2003 and start with a brand new car, and then tell me how that works out for you cost wise. I can easily build a fast a 2V but to what end? A few simple mods to my 2012 and I'm already running 12.1x's in Texas heat on stock tires. Good air and dr's and I should be able to crack some high 11's off. Know any 2V cars that can do that with similar mods? Didn't think so.

And a 2012, with a canned VMP tune did beat that very same Z28. With the very same drivers. It was a nice payback.

And I'm guessing with over 600hp to the wheels, you have taken the proper steps to keep it alive? (and if you haven't, well, we've all been past the 500hp 2V barrier a time or two as well, the phrase living on borrowed time comes to mind).
