My wife's Toyota RAV4 4x4 V6 has 269hp. 300hp isn't a big deal anymore. Shit the new V6 Mustang's and Camaro's have more hp. Less torque, but more hp.

My wife's Edge Sport V6 has 305 :nana1:





PS - the "new" 5.0 has 420 hp. :hi:

I love people at the track. I had 3 people tell me they were 100% sure that my car with minor bolt ons and radials would not break 8.7. I proceeded to make an ass of them and my self. DOHH! not getting a 7.9x pass because I short shifted both times.

Yes the video sucks and yes that is my daughter in the video(she is more supportive of my mod addiction than her mother)

Back when I had my 92 LX 5.0, I stopped for gas and a guy was like " Hey, does that have a cam in it?". I thought quick "Yep, sure does!". All I had was aftermarket headers, hi flow cat pipe and flowmasters. I wasn't lying, it DID have a cam.... ;)

i swear no one knows ford put a 4.6 in a mustang unless they owned one. i cant count how many times i have been asked " that's got a 5.0 in it right?" then followed by me trying to explain that the 5.0 push rod has been dead for more than a decade, i thought it was bad before the new 5.0 now anybody that has seen a commercial or magazine add thinks that all mustangs have 5.0's now, i just need to upgrade to a B302 short block from Brenspeed so i can say yep and move on with my life.

^^^^ I guess people forget about the pre-terminator Cobras ^^^^

A lot of people I've dealt with had no clue there were Cobras made in 99 and 01. They know about the 93's, 96-98's, and 03/04's. A buddy of mine had someone tell him his 01 wasn't a real Cobra because swapped an SRA for the IRS.

Everyone who's asked me about my car already knew about the new 5.0. Maybe it's because there are so many Mustang owners out here?

I was taking pics around January of '11, when a woman walked up to me and said, "You know that's not a real 5.0!"

She apparently had no clue about the Coyote and was trying to catch me faking the funk.

Jokes on her, as I proceeded to say, "Actually, it is a 5.0, however we all know those tits don't really perk up like that on their own."

Not related to the 5.0 discussion, but I can't begin to count the number of people who will walk up to my car at a car show, hood open, and turn to their buddy and have this exchange:

Dude: Wow, that's a cool looking car.

Expert Dude: Yeah, this is one of those Saleen cars. The make them pretty after Ford is done with them. It's all show stuff though, otherwise it's just a stock Mustang.

Dude: Oh, really? It's not faster than a stock Mustang?

Expert Dude: Nope. All looks.

Not to be a stickler, but the last 5.0 was 1995. :beerdrink:

I caught that one, too, since I had a '95 GT, and used to be so proud to say "it's the last year of the 5.0" during the time the 2V 4.6 crap came out from 96-98.
