He thinks you're being a smart ass, and dogging his photo. And I think he doesn't like how you spelled god.

The fact that the 5.0 in your 2300 lb kit car doesn't overheat, and that the factory 225 hp was enough to "whoop" up on a car that was easily 1000 pounds heavier, leaves me still wondering about the title..

How does any of that relate to how great a 5.0 engine is?

Ahhhh, I’m a little slow at times.

@Real time recon , no disrespect meant. I love your car and I thought the photo was great.

I’m just being a dumbass redneck in that previous comment. It was meant as redneck for, “really nice photo”.

Now Dave.....This isn't a time for self deprication...I understood what you meant with the comment..Besides, the picture itself is open to interpretation

American flag,.....British car.......with a big man jammed inside it.
No wait..that's not right..
American flag.....American fiberglass copy of a British car....with a big guy still jammed inside it.

See,.....easy to get confused..

I have 'beat up' on several new cars around here with my 5.0 mostly because the newer stuff weight a ton. and they were like 6 cly cars with fat guys at the wheel
I remember reading about the new challenger tips in at like 4300lbs!

Cutting through the BS here.... The Numbers don't lie .
H.P. -345.
Weight-2,200 pounds.
Trans-Manual.
Rear wheel drive.
Tell me what the readout is, in Zero to 60

3.35 seconds 0-60 considering you have traction
it takes me 1.5 to 2 seconds to get traction on the generic street tires I run!

And as stated,...That is all predicated on zero tire spin. So,...far from actual.
I'd imagine a car that didn't weigh anything with 350 HP would probably spin the rear tires pretty hard, especially considering having to deal with a clutch off the line. Tire spin equates to lost time, so in this case,...the numbers lie.

The numbers don't lie. And no, they are not real world
They just stretch the truth.
Gives the person a number to shoot for.

Yeah well it takes practice.Line-Lock helps a lot and owning muscle cars for 1/2 century also helps. Under 4 seconds is common
