Dark 5.0 I know that this seems like a bashing session on 5.0's but I sold my 89 lx hatch for my 01. It was my first project car. Carbed '85 motor edelbrock carb 750cfm, edelbrock performer rpm intake, vic jr heads, headman longtubes, msd ignition, 4.10's, build t-5, 1.7 rr, f303 cam, i couldnt even break into 13's. I parted out the motor(gotta love ebay) and bought a crate 351w, same carb, shorty headers, high flow H, 100 shot, First pass out 13.1@105mph.
The moral of the story, aside from the freak 5.0's, it took work to get into the 13's. The "ego" that the 4.6 guys have is, it takes little to no work to get a 99+ into the high 13's. The "ego" is their stock car is keeping with or beating their modded 5.0 counterparts.
Its gonna be the same as the guys in the 2003 cobras running stock vettes they will start to kick the vettes *** and start to develop that "ego"
