The Forum Wars: Season 2 Houston Texas

Not sure if 400 whp will do it when we've seen 2011 5.0s smash the crap out of their front ends after pulling a 4 foot wheelies off the line.

The issue with the Z in a drag race is getting it off the line. We know how hard the Mustangs can launch, but no one really knows how hard the Z can on slicks. No one knows how much the diff and half-shafts can take without shattering. I figure jnaut will find out soon enough!

Either way, I think this is purely entertainment... nothing else. It doesn't prove anything. We'd be better off calling the folks at (the real) TopGear and having them do some silly challenges with the Z and 5.0.

Well, the Z makes a better boat but the Mustang is better for camping.

The Mustang can pull a caravan far better than a Z!

Longer wheel base is better for towing! (insert Jeremy Clarkson comment about a rear end designed for a lorry)

Then they can drop a piano on the caravan for good measure. "See! It's ability to tow a caravan AND a piano is biblical!"

And for a reliability comparo they can subject both cars to the testing they put that Toyota Hilux through.

Which will best survive the English Channel? The 370-Zed or the Mustang!

How about a drop from a 30 story building?

Maybe they can see which car can get to the North Pole without falling through the ice.

The Z and Mustang equipped with a lift kit and these tires:

If bullitt can't make it. I'll take on the pony!

m4a1mustang · 11-25-2010, 12:29 PM

So now we just need to find a supercharged (or turbo) 5.0.

Just checked the thread on Stangnet and there are zero replies.

I think Forum Wars would be be better off putting the 5.0 up against a Camaro SS (

).

Definitely, that is something that has never been done.

I would love to see Brazilbro whip some 'stang!

Someone on this forum (company) get Mike a supercharger or TT setup. hes a damn good driver, and already knows how to handle his car very well! To go vs a 5.0 mustang that is possibly modded I think he may just need a lil more power (drag race).

m4a1mustang · 11-25-2010, 07:39 PM

Well you figure if the Z is supercharged then the 5.0 will be as well if they are doing a "mod for mod" thing, otherwise it's kind of pointless.
