Wink Wasted a new bullet. Guy was p#ssed

I pulled up to this guy at the stop light next to a new bullet mustang, I have to say, the babe in the passenger seat imprssed me more. I did like the calipers thoght. I wasent really exspecting a race from this guy but i was ready when the light turned green, sure enough he guned it and i pulled him right away, I got going about 80mph and I would say i was about 3 car lenghts ahead, mabey more, i hit the brakes and he went by me giving me the finger, what a AS$.

I have found that some of these 4.6 liter guys are as bad as camaro drivers. I always here this talk from them that stock for stock I would kill you. But come on how many fox bodies are stock. They only run 14.60's here and say when I get used to my car it will run mid 13's. Except for the occasional freak 4.6 like lizard king or ares most 4.6 cars run mid 14's stock. I have put maybe 70 miles on my car since I have bought so I damn sure aint used to mine I am not going to lie the best I have done with my car the one and only time I took it to the track was a 15.4 I could not launch (just sat and spun) and I could not hit the gears. I drove like sh!t what can I say I just wasnt used to shifting at 5200 rpms and I missed gear after gear. I think a 15.4 is pretty good considering I took forever to get it into third on that run. I have since practiced shifting at high speed and hope to hang with the mighty 4.6 liter this weekend

Holy dog doo man. 14.60 for a 4.6. Convertable & Auto I hope... if not take that driver out of his misery. I just ran against another Convertable like mine except he Chipped his for about 15HP ... and it was close.

I don't get it man. My G/F pulled a 14.4 driving the car for her second time (first time at the track) ... but have to admit she is gooooood. She had the car sqwaking out on the shift from first to second... very impressive!

I have never come across any 4.6 liter nobs yet but when I do I'll smoke 'em like a Garcia Vega.

5.0 HO,

Just give 'em some of your tire smoke. Maybe that'll bring them out of their coma!

don't feel bad 5.0ho, the last time i was at the track i ran a 16.08 at 98mph. i didn't move from the starting line until i shifted to 3rd gear. lets just say i was a little liberal on my launch oh well still was fun! I should have got a burnout prize though i think the trick is not to spin to much in the first 60 feet, at least thats what everyone says. It can only get better!
nice kill on the bullit! what an a$$ he was though. sore LOSER!

Seems to me like some of the 5.0 guys are every bit as cocky. Like the guy who started swearing up and down that I was lying about my 2000 GT bieng stock. (at the time it was) He was ticked because his was modded somewhat heavily compared to my car, but he lost by so much.

Then theres the guy around here who has a 90 LX thats has a Heavily (cam, manifold, ignition, computer, headers, off road H-pipe) modded 5.0 but me and Tim C handed him his ego back. We tried to be nice about it, but he insisted on bieng a jerk.

Then there was the guy who had the front plate reading Bad A$$, with a Fox body 5.0. Well I handed him his A$$, and his girl told me to ***** off.

The list goes on and on. I like the 289's the 5.0's and the 4.6's, hey, there all Fords, thats all that matters really to me. But there are cocky drivers who drive damn Geo Metro's for cryin out loud.

Theres one guy at the local Muscle car hang out whos cocky as hell. If his 5.0 were as fast as he made it out to be, hed be running 4's or 5's in the quarter When in actuallity he'd be hard pressed to get in the 12's.

Then theres the guy who doesnt brag, or show off, but has a 89 GT with a powerdyne with 9 PSI boost. He's cool as hell.

Okay I'm just rambling now..I'll shut up.

Excuse me guys, If we're saying high 15's are the norm for 5.0s then OK, we have a BIG problem. We've all seen some '96 Verts with 4.6's run these times. If we are saying that 4.6's run these times, then that's OK, just don't sell the 4.6's short.

Ok man the sh!t is getting deep I see the 4.6's run every damn weekend and the best I have seen a stock 4.6 (5 SPEED) get in the 1/4 is a 14.44. NO!!! They are not vert auto's. Maybe some of you havent noticed that a mid 13 is about a full second faster than the advertised times for the new GT. Just cause some of the GT's run mid 13's by no means says that they all run mid 13's. The people with the mighty 4.6 in my hometown are so convinced that they can smoke stock vettes and LS1's when they first get there car. Cause they think they are buying a mid 13 sec. car... NOT! They say "those guys on stang works are runniin mid 13's" well when they get to the track mid 14 every damn time. I love ford mustangs all of them I would love to have a 4.6 liter stang I should of bought one instead of my 00'GMC truck. Im just reaching here but are the stangs sold in canada the same as the ones we get in the U.S. cause Canada doesnt have emmission laws right? I do believe Lizard king and Ares but I think that there cars are freaks and not the norm. Trust me I would love to see some 4.6 liter stangs dust my brothers camaro sometimes,but it just doesnt happen. Dont be mad at me i am not a cocky 5.0 guy trust me I could not take a 4.6 liter in the 1/4 right now But considering all of the ones here are mid to low 14's it wont be long. I dont hate on any mustang I love them all

The mustangs in Canada are the same as the US ones, I've seen a bone stock automaic 4.6 coupe run 14.2@98 on street tires, seen a 4.6 5 speed run 13.9 @101 at Eagle in Ashcroft which is at 1700ft!

The way some of you guys talk down about the 4.6 is the same way the ricers talk down about mustangs on clusi.com!

BTW: Ford even lists the Quarter mile time for a 5 speed coupe as 14.1@100 mph

Okay, so it wasn't the nasty west Texas air, it was at Mission, B.C., almost always corrects to below sea level.

I've got a buddy with a 2000 GT, 5 speed. It has Off road exhaust, somekind of chip and a Pro 5.0 shifter. It has clicked off a 8.79 in the 1/8th. This is with a guy driving that had, up til now, never owned a fast car in his life. You guys with the 5.0's that are trying to hang on to the past, get over it. The 4.6's are fast now and can hand a STOCK 5.0 it's a$$ nine times out of ten. You guys are probably the same ones saying that the LS1's aren't fast either and you've never seen one break 14's stock.

Yeah, I agree that the old 5.0's are bad *** , and my brother and I are going to buy one this summer as a project car. Unfortunately, though, stock for stock, the 4.6 GT is faster. Not in EVERY instance, but in most cases, it is. The 5.0 guys dogged on the 96-98's, but now you gotta give the 99+'s some credit.

On the freeway the other day, I got up on the *** of this fox body 5.0. He saw me, and gunned it, I saw the puffs of smoke out his tailpipes, and so I also gunned it, and passed him easily. This was before the pulleys.

5.0's are sweet, and will always be a huge threat on the street, but c'mon guys, give the 4.6 its due. It's here to stay, and it's not that bad.

5.0ho, go to corral.net and check out the timeslip index. you'll see that there are plenty of 99 guys running in the 13's and some in the 12's. it's not just the canadian air I think it boils down to the driver and knowing his car! also the track! jmho.

BTW ls1's run in the 13's all the time here. There are not too many stock fox body 5.0's . and there are a butt load of 4.6liter mustangs that run here. sure I have seen modded 4.6 mustangs run 12's even 11's HELL I like the 4.6 stangs "wish I had one" I would love to personaly see one run a 13 stock "I would dig that"

HAHA looks like the "Battle has begun" so I might as well jump in on this... in my opinion the 4.6's have way better top end and the 5.0's have a little advantage on the low end... 1/4 the 4.6 will probably win stock vs stock but it might be close... 1/8 I'd have to give the advantage to the 5.0... for some reason the 4.6's seem to be a lot harder to launch than 5.0's too... although I have only driven one four or five times few of my friends that have owned both that I race always either bog or burn the tires with the 4.6... anyway BOTH cars are fast and I have much respect for both and both respond great to boltons... just depends on which one you personally prefer or sometimes which one your pocket book prefers.

How does 13.8 with a 200lbs camera man in board ... and braking at the end to a trap speed of 82MPH (bracket racing) sound???

Let's start Diggin, Dude!

BTW, I've been called a mutant, a freak, I've been flamed, I've been to war... My car ran at least 30 13.7xx, a 13.69 & now a 13.66. Stock. Stock. Stock.

I bet ya I could bring any Stock 99+ GT (5 speed, coupe) down to those times. The reason I say that is I recently met with 3 other 99+ stang at the locals here and they proved to me my car is not a freak. It's the driver. Once the car is launched the winner is established right there.

Those gawdawful drivers pulling those horrible "mid 14s" in a 99+ coupe 5spd should be be put out of their misery. My advice?: buy yourself a Taurus... you wont need shift and calculate your revs at the line.
