You are an idiot.... Sorry if you take offense to this I only speak the truth!Technicains beet a camaro, charger, and dodge ram in it. All those vehicles had v8's the two dodges where 2013's. And I've rode in different mustangs new and old and this one is different. So don't give me the it just feels fast because it's the only one I've been in. And wmburns the 1996 mustang had a 5.0 engine in it. And the two technicians That had it looked at it have been working on cars since the 70's

Those 2v Cobra motors are infamous! I must have missed the info on these.
To be fair, it would feel fast if it were a 5 speed and all his past experience is with an automatic. I mean, the 94-95 and 96-98 auto equipped convertible GTs were probably the slowest V8 equipped cars in history. If that is what he is used to, then a 5 speed would feel like a rocket.
Oh no Gearbanger, I wasn't trying to stick up for him. When I said "to be fair" I meant being fair to a stick shift Mustang over an auto Mustang. I have an 03 auto GT. And I noticed a huge difference between my car and an a stick shift GT. Stock to stock I'd say maybe even half a second. That is if the auto is a convertible and the stick shift is a hard top. But in any case, I get what you're saying. Kid copped an attitude. Hopefully he'll learn his lesson and calm down.Feeling fast is one thing. Making claims of beating what everyone knows to be vastly quicker and faster cars is another. The drivers of either a later model Camaro or Challenger could literally be nodding off at the wheel at the start of the race and still easily reel a 2V NPI Mustang in on a street contest. As the matter of fact....I'll go as far to question his car even question either of those models in their base V6 trim.
Race BS aside, manufacturing an extra set of cams in the top end of the engine and calling it a 4-valve Cobra engine is what really sold it for me....or even calling the car a California special several years before that model even existed was good for a chuckle.
And then arguing a fact that even Wikipedia got right? (the last year of 5.0L OHV production in a Mustang)
This has to be one of the must successful troll threads in recent memory?
no it did not . the 4.6 sohc and dohc engines debuted for the 1996 model year replacing the pushrod engine . there were no factory ford mustangs in 1996 with a v8 pushrod engine . now saleen in 1996 offered a supercharged 351 but that was done at saleen and the car had originally shipped from ford with a 3.8 v6Guys 95 was not the last year. Don't believe wiki an stuff like that. 96 had a 5.0 and I have a book on that.
This is awesome
You still exist!
Had actually been reading through the whole thing when you posted. I took a lengthy hiatus myself, didn't know you'd taken a pretty serious direction with your carOh yea, just not as a regular frequency. With full time work now, and other obligations, it's a little harder to find time to just screw around on forums.
Check out my build thread: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/threads/the-sneaky98gt-build-thread.877003/ Hoping to have it back together in a week or two.
