    '05 Mustang GT HP#'s from MotorTrend

    I am encouraged by those advertised numbers. As it stands, now, I have never seen or heard of an 03 Cobra dynoing at less than 360 RWHP. The new stang is going to be in the 250-260 RWHP range, which with some simple mods (gears, slicks, etc.) and some driving skills, could be a legit low 13...

    I swear on one of the picture captions, I can see 290 HP SOHC...might that be a tip off for us? Hax

    Here here! Well said, and I apologize to the Mustang II brethren out there. A mustang is a mustang, and it's still a beautiful thing! Hax

    Thumper heads vs Powerheads? Input requested

    Ed, you really should look into a communication class as you missed the entire point of what I was trying to say. In fact, I have to say that the fact that you even responded to me is indicitive of exactly what I am talking about. You as a business owner should be above this. It's just bad...

    Thumper heads vs Powerheads? Input requested

    Highbredcloud, No, I have not bought from Ed, and neither have I bought from Thumper. In my line of work, I deal with competitors on a daily basis, and they way I see it, There are two types of people. There are those that will elevate their companies based on the quality of the finished...

    Thumper heads vs Powerheads? Input requested

    You know, this is about the bazillionth thread I have seen on this, and essentially, I have come to a couple of conclusions: Thumper's customers seem satisfied with what they bought. I have yet to read about a single dissatisfied customer. EDC's customers satisfied with what they bought...

    The difference between my opinion and Ron Jeremy's was that I never stated it as a FACT. I merely stated my own opinion. I don't care for the mustangs from 1971-1984, and from 1994 to present...that's my personal taste in cars. I like the 1964.5-1970 and 1987-93, as well as the upcoming...

    Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. I will say this though, I think it was mainly because neither guy knows how to launch their car worth a crap, and it's understandable. The car makes no low end torque, and there is a fine line between getting the car moving and blowing the tires at...

    What in the hell are you used to driving? The 87-93 Mustang GT and LX 5.0 was, and still is the ultimate bang for the buck performance car in the market. HP ratings are generally a crock of crap. Ever heard of the Buick Grand National? Rated at a paltry 245 HP...these things were sucking...

    I think you pretty much just made my point for me. How many magazines took a stock 1987-1993 Notch back. Yanked the front swaybar, bumped the timing to 14*, removed the jack and spare, and powershifted the beejeezus out of one to the tune of 13.99@98-100 mph? It became so common that no one...

    yes, I should have clarified that...I still think that the non supercharged Cobra's lack torque, but with the right driving technique, they are a beast. Hax

    The fact is Ron, you DID put a lot of cars down, and a lot of these cars would suck the friggin headlights out of your beloved 1999-2004 Stangs. Stick to porno, you seem to know what you're doing there. Hax

    Ron, The only styling that is a 'must have' for a mustang is a long hood/short deck lay out, and two doors. As for them 'not looking like a Mustang', they might very well be THE second most recognizable mustang ever made, second only to the 1964.5-1966 Stangs. And what the heck do you...

    5.0 Gear Choice

    I had similar mods on my previous car, and had 3.55 gears. I wish it would have had 4.10's in it. If I were him, I would get the 4.10's. You said that this car will see a lot of strip action, and that he drives it daily. Get the 4.10's, and don't look back. You can run a taller tire if...

    :bs: :bs: :bs: Uhhhh, I can't argue about the 1973-1986 stangs, and the 94-98 stangs, but the 87-93 fox bodies were no slouch in the performance arena. I am 31 years old, so I never really experienced the thrill of driving a Big Block Mustang, but what the hell did these things run...

    what would you like to see for future mustangs

    I am not to worried about engine combos, but somethings I would like to see are as follows: A stripped down, lightweight, no frills version of the car, much akin to the stripper LX notches that seemed to rule the dragstrips in the late 80's early 90's. I am talking crank windows, manual...

    Any takers for an '06 [b]BOSS 351[/b]?

    I'd take one in a heart beat, provided it was under $40K. Hax

    IN with the old.....

    I would love to see Daimler Chrysler jump into the pony car market. Build a 2 door 4 seat coupe with a long hood, short deck, make it weight 3000 lbs, offer that magnum V6 as the base engine, a 5.2 (318) as a next step up, and then maybe a 5.9 or the 5.7L hemi...or BOTH. Call it the Cuda...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    Yeah, I have heard a Viper before...as he was leaving me in the dust. :lol: Hax
