4.6 slow? No :(

LayanRubr · 05-18-2003, 03:43 PM

Around my town theres A LOT of F-bodys. A ton of lt1's, and ls1's, a lot running anywhere from 13 to 10 seconds in the 1/4. Anyhow I'm always arguing with my buddys who own F-bodys about the 4.6 2v and 4v engines. Like tireburner has taught me a lot I dont need to mag race but MM&FF has some hella fast 4.6 2v's, 4v's with blower setups. There always telling me to stick with the 5.0 but it just gets on my nerves I guess

The mod engines can be made to scream fairly easily, they just take a bit more cash than a good old 5.0...

Exactly, dollar for dollar it's alot easier to make a 5 liter motor fast due to the larger aftermarket. There aren't as many choices for the 4.6.

While it's true that there's no replacement for displacement, it's fun to see somebody make a lot of horsepower with only a few liters to work with. Having lots of aftermarket suppliers is great, but it's nice to see some ingenuity employed once in a while, too. (But looks who's talking! I've got all kinds of go-fast parts available.)

Isn't that a contradiction in terms?

I believe my LT1 had more power out of the box than your GT.
