Killed another Mustang

No we shouldn't. I had a chance to sell my truck last week and just couldn't do it. I guess I didn't want a new 5.0 that bad. They do run good though.
Ok, after reading this WHOLE thread so far and even watching the funny video, this is what I have to say. Yeah the 5.0s were nice in the 80's/90's, but now everyone and their brother has a freakin 5.0 Foxbody mustang and think that they can wax anything on the road. I'm sorry but IMO the stock 302 in those things were turds until you started adding parts. Another thing, I have always found the Firebird/Trans Am to be WAY more appealing than a Camaro, especially in the late 90's and early 00's. The WS6 Ram Air was a freakin BEAST. The new Camaro is nice and all, but it is truly sad that Pontiac is gone and no chance of a Trans Am or GTO coming back. Its about time Ford actually had the Mustang GT put out some decent numbers. My favorite Mustangs ever built were the 2003/2004 Mach 1s and Cobras. Not saying that they were fast, but they looked good and ran decent after some parts were thrown on them.
Now about the Duramax vs Mustang deal. I WAX my friend's 2002 4.6 Mustang GT all day, even on my lower tunes. But I have to say if he starts throwing some serious parts on it, he might get me...might...:rofl:

OH!! and another thing to add. Majority (not saying all) mustang owners act like total douchebags, they try to race anybody in anything anywhere. They always seem to talk $#%* too. I like to add that the Mustang was NOT the first muscle car, the Pontiac GTO was. Every Mustang guy seems to believe the Mustang was the first muscle car, NO, it was just a little pony car made to attract youth to Ford Motor Company. But I know a couple of guys who are pretty cool with Mustangs.

I don't hate on them at all, I just think all the hype is bull shit, the 5.0 is a new motor not proven in anyway other than it can make it through a 1/4 season of races... You also realize the 5.0 just came out this year, what will happen when the LS motors get to answer back?? And yeah the original 5.0 was a HUGE badass all 225hp:rofl: I loved my Cobra I just hatyed getting waxed by LT and LS powered cars even 454ss silvy's. I was very young at the time but it wasn't just driver error if a cars is slow a car is slow.
The Mustang has lost in the 1/4 mile tests every time to the Camaroe STOCK power. The Mustang can supossedly pull away from a roll when raceing on the highway. And Ford boys claim that the new 5.0 can make 1999hp on stock internals naturally aspirated... I have yet to see it, I have seen a high 11 with the new 5.0, don't get me wrong that is an awsome number for a basically stock car with simple bolt ons but it isn't to impressive when the LS motors with similar mods are running 11 aswell.
I am thrilled as shit GM/Ford and even Dodge (in some respects) are all makeing huge power numbers and cars faster than ever. GM has been lonely at the top for the last decade maybe someone can give them a run in a class besides 10.5
The GTO was NOT the first muscle car. The GTO came out about 5 years after Chevy, Ford, Dodge/Plymouth came out with different models of muscle cars.
I went to work for Pontiac in '64 when the GTO came out and I was driving a '61 Ford Starliner 406 ci tri power. Chevy had their 409 ci in 1961, and Dodge/Ply had their 413 ci dual quad ram manifold motor in 1961. Pontiac had their 389 ci tri power in 1960 then went to a 421 ci late 1962.
The GTO came out at the same time as the Chevelle SS396. I have owned most of the above cars.
Congrats on being the only Cobra owner on the planet to lose a race to a 454ss. :joker:

This is how you fix the new camaro
Im a mustang guy, owned a few and always will be a mustang guy. I am also a Duramax guy. Who says you cant love certain cars/trucks no matter what there brand? The '11 5.0 is pretty bad ass, it is awesome to see manufs. keeping the horsepower spirit alive. with all the rules they must follow, its nice to see what can still be offered. I never was one for a manufacture, there are lots of cars I love out there, but cant stand other cars built by same manufacture.
Also the "I waxed a mustang" crap is BS most of the time on here too. Of course you did, you have the equivalent of adding supercharger power to a mustang in a tune alone.. All these "waxes" by a duramax were tuned vs. stock or lightly modified mustangs. Obviously the duramax can do impressive things with cheap mods (IE: tuning) but stock form, not going to happen too often.

That looks like crap IMHO, lol.
No way I would be caught dead in that, not even if I was a firebird/camaro/mullet lover.
Jesus christ....If maybe, MAYBE I was in a remake of smokey and the bandit and paid a lot, A LOT, well then, just maybe :rofl:

Yea, its a little over done but the blue version is actually sold by ligenfelter and looks sweet in person, they even did an LS based 455 with over 600hp in it.
Whats wrong with a mullet anyways:rockon::beavisnbutthead: The eighties was the best time ever for hotrods and hairbands, my kids still tease me about my music but they still sneak it out of my room to put in their Ipods and phones. I refuse to post any pictures of my glory days!
