5.0 ? Whats so special about these mustangs,every one is going back to stock.

[46Tbird]

Ohhh, 40hp added from DA really?
Are you saying my stock car had 340hp instead of 300?
Or are you subtracting from bad DA, meaning people with bad enough DA are running 260hp?

Sorry, I'm not trying to be confusing. The DA in your area of the country allows your car to make MUCH more power, hence your times will naturally be better. You credited driving skill in your post, and I am countering that the extra horsepower will also make a difference. It's well known that when conditions are good at MIR, all the well-prepped stock cars and good drivers make an appearance to get that "impossible" timeslip that can't be achieved anywhere else.

It's kind of like having to explain a joke, it doesn't seem so funny when you have to break it down.

I understand... but it ran what it ran let's not get too picky now.
I know what you're saying and it's 100% correct.

what is on the slip is what is on the slip at the end of the day, I don't do this whole correction thing.

5.0's aren't all that and they suck!!! lol!!

<10 passes doesn't mean much. That's a centri blower too...much easier on the bottom end. There's been folks on here run 600whp with a centri on a stock 3V.

All in all, I think it's safe to say the 5.0 can handle 100 more HP. Other than that, I can't come up with a reason to buy one.

 

[46Tbird]

As if that's not enough all by itself.

Looks play a part for me too. That's just how I roll.


BTW look at the torque number on the 700HP car. My car only makes 540whp and has alot more torque. Ultimately torque/rpm is what will break shit.

I can't believe how bad the 3v getting it in here. Most of us know the 5.0 is a better car, that's the whole idea of R&D. However, it's cracking me up to read that the 3v only run's in the 13's if your in the northeast. That is incorrect, they only run high 12's in the northeast. Mid 13's is a common and average number for the 3v. it's be done on many forums, and magazines.

It's kinda like we were all rats on the good ship 4.6. Then the new shiny ship 5.0 docked next door. Well, before you know it, rats are jumping ship for the new shiny cheese. Of course, this causes a ruckus on the good ship 4.6! All the rats start to wonder if that new shiny cheese is better than the old cheese! Then a big ol fat buck rat (ULTRACLA$$IC) jumps ship and sets off a big commotion! Now, sad to say, eventually, most rats will jump ship leaving just a few lonely rats to haunt the good ship 4.6. The end.
