Can you distinguish the difference?

[Sun Devil Cobra]

Between a 5.0L, a GT, and a Cobra if you heard them all, and did not see them? If all were 100% stock, could you distinguish which is which, between a 1995 Cobra, a 1999 GT, and a 1999 Cobra?

 

[Dusstbuster]

As far as...sound? power? acceleration? what?

 

[01Steeda]

I could tell by sound a 5.0 and a 4.6,, and a 4.6 2v from 4v.... but a 5.0 gt and cobra I dont think so

 

[DCjuggalo]

dunno cant find any 95 cobras with stock exhaust or 99 cobras.. when my 00 gt was stock it sounded weak

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i can hear the differance in the 4.6's

Just sound.

Yeap, I can tell the difference. So far I've only heard one 2V that sounded like a 4V but it wasn't stock exhaust. I can even tell a 3V from all 3 of those. It has become a game with my g/f and I guessing which one it is before we see it... I can do the same with huey and blackhawk helicopters.

I could tell the difference between pushrod, 2v, 3v, 4v just from the sound. When you work on cars all day long you pick up little pointless things.

yup. there is a huge difference between the 5.0, 2v 4.6, 3v 4.6 and 4v 4.6, and if they have a h or x pipe, or if theyre auto just by hearing them from far away.

I can tell the difference between a P-3 and a C-130. Same engines just different props.

The sound difference between a 5.0 and a 4.6 is pretty easy to distinguish. The idling tone of a 2V 4.6 vs 4V 4.6 is pretty easy too. Auto vs. manual is a dead give away when you hear how it launches/shifts. But I can't distinguish a 4.6 2v from a 3v. All these hours listening to sound clips from Mustangexhaust helped out I guess.

 

[Saleen311]

Im def. So, No

 

[281CI96Coupe]

The minute a 5.0 is done the street coming up, i know what it is....5.0's have the hollowed out stock sound. 2v's 4.6 is so easy to tell vs 4v 4.6...there idle's are completly different like everyone says...2v's have a huge yell down low while the 4v's have a huge yell up top! 3v's are just different....

 

[Superhereaux]

hell my mom can tell the difference between a 4.6 and a 5.0 (not joking)


as far as 4.6's, i can distinguish between a 2 and 4v stock or modded but i haven't heard that many 3v's

most if not all 'o5 and up gt's are either driven by 20yr old girls or 50yr old geezers who never get on the throttle

 

[2013 Geee T]

Thats funny I read this post today. I saw an older Mustang while I was out walking my dog and thought it sounded wrong. So it must have been a 95. It looked like one too. It had that 5.0 sound.

 

[BlackenedSVT]

you can hear a difference in all those motors, but you wouldn't be able to TELL which was which unless u hear one right after the other.

Some of you guys though.... I bet if i drove one down the street past you blind folded, u wouldnt' be able to tell me what it was. hell i'd drive a chevy truck past you and i bet you'd tell me its a 5.0L GT. Its honestly too hard to tell what motor a car has at a flyby. There are SOOOO many exhaust mods out there. I've heard even V6's sound like 2v 4.6L GTs in person, and thats no joke

Yeap, hueys have 2 blades and blackhawks have 4. The 2 blades give more a thunderous bass tone.

 

[blckstng96]

deff can tell the difference between all but the 3 valve,might be able to do that one tho and can DEFF distinguish a mustang from a chevy truck without a doubt
