it would also be a logical upgrade.

my upgrade went

1.6 diesel 4cyl - 1.9 diesel 4 cyl - 3.7 6 cyl

next step is 5.0 8 cyl

scary to think whats after that

6ish 10 cyl?

They aren't all that heavy compared to similar cars and the weight distribution is pretty damn close to 50/50... FWIW I run 12.87 @ 110 stock.

Edit: Checked the specs on the SRT-8. Definitely BS. You've got at least 1,000 lbs on the 3600 lb 5.0, and only 8 hp more. That was a funny joke!

It had 5.0 badges on it. I will admit Mustang drivers are like rivers, they do really cool things sometimes to make them faster by debadging their cars or even adding new badges to them. So whatever. I know what happened and will be looking forward to racing another. I'm sure the results will be different this time though since after only a few days this thread has 64 pages of crap about the Mustang. You guys are really sweating the Mustang. From what I have seen from the 370z it's obvious why.

One more thing to mention is not everyone can drive a car. Maybe some of you and the Mustang owner need to take a few driving schools. You can have a much faster car but if you can't shift your going to loose. Enjoy the rest of your thread ladies.

Awww did your ego get hurt when people realised your ********?

your truck cant beat a 5.0 simple as that. well I guess it can win if the mustang driver stalls.

I can also go "HOLY **** I BEAT A GT-R" and it turned out the guy was hitting the brake instead of the throttle.

I decided that I'm not going to get the Boss 302... instead I'm going to get a Jeep SRT8! I heard it's faster in the quarter than a Space Shuttle (yes, in space)! This guy named "HTP AutoWorks" raced one the other day, and he won by at least 2 or 3 shuttle lengths.

His post really made my day.

From a 60 roll, if you're Jeep walked away, the Mustang was probably either in neutral or not hitting the gas. Having driven the Jeep, and knowing it's a car with a sub 5 second 0-60, but barely traps over 100 mph, you've got nothing in a highway pull.

Considering a highway pull in the 5.0 consists of dropping a gear or two, walking away, and reverting to normal, I don't think driving is gonna be much of a factor. From a dig, sure. Not from a roll though.

But, while we are telling stories, I thought you'd like to hear about the E46 M3 I smoked while driving my EJ8. It's a riveting tale, and almost as believable.

......Because the Jeep SRT-8 is THE choice of most good driving schools.
