Test drove a 5.0 Today

This thread was not about comparing anything so, please no end thread.
AND, no one posting in here EVER said the GT was a slouch. It is the BEST muscle car on the market by far. That has been said the whole time. geez...

ANYWAY. M4A1, I think you need that supercharger!!! Can't you get it from the factory under warranty??? That is what I call manufactor support! We cannot even get a 'sport tune' or oil cooler from Nissan......

I can get the FRPP 525whp blower with a 1-year factory warranty if installed at a dealership.

I'm going to take my time, though. There will be a bunch of kits available. Right now a low PSI Roush supercharged 5.0 is running 11.2 @ 126 on drag radials.

Hell, these cars are running 11s with only bolt ons.

Tangent:
I know it's not hip, but I have a man crush on Miatas. Firstly, I've driven one for an extended period, and they are hella fun. They occupy quite an interesting niche, really. Don't buy a Miata with the hopes of ever beating anything in a straight line. That's not why it's there. Do buy a Miata if you want to effortlessly flick through corners at high speeds and feel like you're driving a proper sports car. It won't beat many things around a track, but it is so inexpensive and reliable, that it's actually a great option for a track toy, so it sees a lot of racing action. Laugh at them as much as you like, but put on your automotive bucket list "drive a Miata hard on a windy road". Trust me, it's very good for the soul.

Miatas are fun. I prefer the older ones.

And the ones with LS1s or 5.0s in them are sick.
