The old 85-93 fox body mustangs have always been one of my favorite cars. The 302 is probably the only ford motor that I like, I dont think any other ford engines compare to the LSX motors.

My first car was a 88 4 banger mustang coupe. I put it through hell and back and I just couldnt kill it, that car saw WAY more abuse than I would put my truck through (giant puddles, offroad jumping, ect...) the only problem it had was 0-60 of about 20 mins :rofl:

I'm wanting the new Camaro with suspension fixed and the LSX454 in then. That's a Z-28 to me. It would be lethal a few ways no doubt.

Pat, unfortunate reading.....

My friend bought a new 5.0 this spring & has only lost to 2 new Camaros so far & they were both modified. He routinely takes out Camaros, both autos & 6 speed cars. I do not like the facts, but will not lie about it.

Makes me sick, since I'm a diehard GM fan. Hell, the last Mustang I built had a big block Chevy in it.

Chevy was lacking in 2 respects... they added Independent rear suspension to them, which also adds to problem #2, weight. 200lbs takes away from handling & acceleration compared to the Mustang.

Don't get me wrong, I like the new Camaro, but I was disappointed in this respect. People trash talked the GTO because it was a heavy tank compared to the Camaro, now the Camaro is a very similar design... actually a G8 in disguise.

Remember the days when Camaros were the same weight (or lighter) than Vettes??

Also as an FYI, the supposed 412hp Mustang makes 380 to the wheels, so it probably makes closer to 440-450hp flywheel. The new Procharger is sitting here for it.... Cannot wait to see it with over 600 flywheel.

Locally I have heard of most 5.0's running around 12.8's. This closer to the older LS1 Camaro territory.

The LS1 has been dead for several years now. ...

It will ALWAYS be alive in my heart. :thumb:

I've owned a lot of cars, bikes, and trucks in my life. Not all of them have a personality. My 2000 SS Camaro did. It spoke to me, and we had many long conversations.

I loved that car. Not sure why I sold it. :(



OH I REMEMBER!!! I beat the living shit out of it daily and with enthusiasm. There was nothing but a bad attitude holding it together when I sold it.

I used to have this in my sig:

"Dragraced, Dyno'd, and AutoX'd before the First Payment".
It's claim to fame was humiliating Vipers.

I wonder what ever happened to that video? :lildevil:

Still got my '02. I still remember the first time I drag raced it, I heard the announcer say: "Here's a 2002 Camaro SS.... that still has the paper plates!!" :rofl:

Anyone see the episode of Battle of Supercars with the turbo Camaro and the supercharged Mustang recently? Mustang has some crazy top end but Im willing to bet the camaro was far from being dialed in on tuning. I dont think there is anything out there that is more capable than an LSx motor. Period.
