    Almost Done! 351W swap Hoo Haaah!

    With the lightweight body, you may not have an instant problem, but I'd expect the 1st major break to be the T5. I wouldn't expect it to last behind a moderately built 351 W or C/M for 1 day. Too much torque. Good luck, it's bound to be fun to drive. Also, beware! If it makes even decent power...

    1/8th mile ET

    Bryan, is the car still stock? And what's its run(1/4 mile) to date? Just curious. You can PM me if you'd prefer. That way we won't hi-jack the thread. EDIT: Nevermind the stock question, as I saw your other post. What'd it end up running whith no mods?

    what are your thoughts on a '92 5.0L Cougar engine

    As I recall, Ford stopped using forged pistons in April of 1992 for all 5.0HO engines.

    ExCon Is Now Transmitting: American Cars Suck!!

    Sometimes I must laugh at what others deem inadequate. For the record, the Ford GT flatly SMASHES :chair: the AMG SL65 in EVERY performance test known to mankind, save claimed hp and torque and possibly skidpad(because that isn't published where I looked), period. It's faster, quicker, lighter...

    Dead 2005 Mustang.......

    Sounds like you got the "weekend tech" to boot! Good luck with this little problem child you've purchased. I really would simply have the car replaced. The dealer should easily take it back in replacement for another after these issues. They can fix it properly and use it as a demo while you get...

    what are your thoughts on a '92 5.0L Cougar engine

    That engine is all but sure to have gotten hypereutectic pistons from the factory. It is basically like any 5.0HO of it's era though. Good luck with it.

    86 Heads vs. E7TE

    Don't mean to bud in on anyone's argument, but in this one case I'd like to add something. And not really to disagree, but just for informational purposes. A guy I know used 86 heads on his 93 coupe with a stock longblock. The car was extremely lightened(to some 2600 lbs.) and had additional...

    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    I happen to like the GTO(2004 more than 2005) because of it's subtle looks and room for kids in the back. I must note though, I don't think most "new" GTO owners are 40 anything. I believe most are well under 40 and many well under 30. It is what it is, preferring the MustangGT or not. The...

    The MustangGT may not compare to particular, high priced German cars, but let's face it, the Volkswagen Beetle doesn't seem like such a pinnacle of performance compared to a MustangGT. :nice: However, it's definitely a German car. Indeed most Volkswagen vehicles aren't very good quality at all...

    two 05 gt`s run at the track... [video]

    Welcome to last year. On drag racing: A 1987 Mustang coupe with a good exhaust system and a great driver may well beat a NEON SRT-4. Most often it won't happen, but it could. A good driver in a stock 99-04 MustangGT should be able to at least nip the SRT-4 time after time. A 2005...

    Old School vs. New School.......sick of the all the B.S

    You like your car. Great. Most of us don't really care, even when we think the body kits are ugly. To me, most are ugly. That's my opinion. Same goes for what's fast and not. Some think 15's are fast. To me, it's like crawling through the 1/4 mile. Such is life.

    Or because the facts don't support them. Not so commendable.

    ExCon Is Now Transmitting: American Cars Suck!!

    Personal attacks? Please. Grow up. I've probably FORGOTTEN more about Mustangs than you've learned about cars complete. I have no fear of calling your bluff, because *I* truly belive you're another internet liar, looking for attention. Since the Fox platform is so terrible, why did many...

    ExCon Is Now Transmitting: American Cars Suck!!

    Coming from the guy who said the Boxtser is superior to a Corvette, what else would I have expected. :rolleyes: See, you owned an M3(I think you're lying- for the record) but you DIDN'T own a Cobra. Do yourself a favor. Close the flytrap you call a mouth. The M3 handles fine. A former g/f...

    Old School vs. New School.......sick of the all the B.S

    You mean, WAS FASTER! Now consider the loss caused by the drag of that silly looking(my opinion), probably unpainted, body kit and you just found yourself getting handily outrun by any other stock V6 Mustang made today, and you've put yourself right back in with the Civic crowd. Nothin' wrong...

    ExCon Is Now Transmitting: American Cars Suck!!

    Sure, he complains alot. In this thread alone it's been too much to call average. On the other hand, he's the kind of guy you laugh with, OR at and be content with yourself because you know darned well, he won't. Think about it folks, would a guy who could AFFORD a Porsche 911 even start looking...

    ExCon Is Now Transmitting: American Cars Suck!!

    :lol: That's pretty funny. I've lived in FL for ages and sure know some people here aren't very bright. I must defend one thing though... You won't likely ever meet a redneck who doesn't already know what a Mustang looks like. To them, it's second only to the Camaro if any car at all. Anyone...

    13.2 @ 104...

    Donno which rock you've been hiding under, but many have. The best I've heard of is 13.35 with no mods. I can't verify that any run that quick because I've never seen it, but many are definitely 13.6 capable. I agree that removing items or replacing them with anything resembling better...

    13.2 @ 104...

    The difference is probably as much in weight removal as causing less drag, maybe more. The A/C system probably weighs in the area of 50 lbs, all on the front end.

    New Stang tops out at 143?

    It won't matter if they care or not, since they built it and set it's limits themselves. If you somehow go 155mph and the thing shatters the block, it's their concern so long as mods didn't cause the problem. Sure they'll know how fast it's been. So what.
