2011 5.0 vs 2003 cobra

[Germeezy3]

Who else wants one of each ?

I do but I want neither stock, the Termi better have a Whipple or KB and the 5.0 twin turbos!

I would be happy with a bolt on 5.0 for a daily driver and a nasty Hellion equipped, auto, SRA Terminator.

I like that idea, but leave mine with an IRS!

Well I was thinking 8s.

Nothing wrong with me shooting for the IRS Terminator record right? The Vettes have gone into the 7's with an IRS just like the Vipers.

But it isnt as easy to swap a SRA into those cars. Thats and its alot easier tune for the strip.

If you only knew how much of what I just said is a joke, the 5.4 especially the supercar 5.4 is the top of Ford's performance line for stock engine IMO. 1,000 rwhp with stock internals and fuel system and just changing to a different power adder is unheard of, there is only one other engine that I can think of thats reasonably priced that can do that.

I got it, lol. BUT he is gone, so dont become him. Who would understand my love for the LT1 if you were pinked. lol

I prefer the LT4 to an LS1 stock for stock, it took mods to make an LS1 as nasty and throttle responsive as an LT1 or LT4. By the same token, the 4.6 Termi motor seems much more snappy and throttle responsive than the 5.0 it too has the LS1 feeling smooth gradual torque band.

When i say LT1, i dont necessarily mean LT1 lol. Its alot more than that now. Id love to find an LT4 vette, could be so much fun.

my dad had a 96 GS and a 96 40th. outside of the motor, i didnt really like them that much. i much prefered his C5.

LTx make it easier it encompasses both engines.

I was supposed to buy an L98 C4 as a fun summer car, but the trans blew in it on the test drive. So I waited and got a much nicer C5, the C4 was strong up to about 4,500 rpm and then it fell on its face.

 

[Five Oh Brian]

Wow holy crap. According to kbb the 2004 terminator is 3665 and the 2011 GT is 3720. lol

I weighed my '11 GT recently and it was only 3520 lbs. 3720 might have been a fully loaded convertible???

 

[HEMI LOL]

the terminators are heavy. ive seen a quite a few over 3700lbs without driver. it must be the IRS or something. my car was close to brians in wieght. a little closer to 3600lbs though.

i thought the kill section was dead?
