A disheartened 4.6L owner

[98SteedaGT]

Alright Dark, lets not get in to a peeing contest. As I mentioned earlier both engines have their good and bad points about them. Let's look:

Why brag about an engine that takes more CuIn to keep up with another engine, in the same type car. It takes you 302cui to keep up with our 281.

Why argue between Ford owners. You take your 5.0 and we'll take our 4.6.

Just because their are more 5.0's at the track doesn't mean squat. That just shows me people want to take the cheap way out. It takes money to make a 4.6 run, and when it does run, I have seen it walk all over other cars(Ford and Chevy alike).

Foremost, I would hope that by now JoeBlow racer has enough intelligence to work on the 5.0.. How long has it been around?? The 4.6 is still an infant... You wouldn't expect to see a toddler win in a race with an adult... So why argue about this.

4.6 is more efficient from the factory than any other Mustang engine ever produced.

You have to actually plan to use a 4.6, unlike a 5.0 which you can just slap on heads and cam in your back yard. I have done this many times before.

It's all a matter of preference anyways. You sit here and get mad about us not liking the 5.0, what about all the morons out there that insult me in person for the fact that they see GT 4.6 on the side of my car.. I went down to the local gas station and parked next to a 5.0, a guy comes out and starts asking about my car. I tell him it's a 98 GT, he immediatley asks "Is is a 5.0?", ok, this just shows ignorance!!! I tell him it's a 4.6, he appologizes to me for having a 4.6, then turns to the guy in the 5.0 and starts asking about his car, and w/o even knowing all about our cars he claims!!! "I bet this 5.0 can kick your 4.6's butt!" OK, I hate this, I hate this to the point that I am about ready to beat the living hell out of the next person that does it. The other car has lost to me several times before, but since it is a 5.0, I guess that makes it faster... If you think for one minute that CUBIC INCHES make all the difference, and are the only determining factor in an engines ability to perform, then you need to go back to the books and READ!!!!!!!!! Now I am not saying that CuI don't play a role in an engine, cause they do, but.... Consider this!!!! Based on this method of thinking that a 5.0 will always out run a 4.6, you have to also believe that a Mustang or Camaro will never be out ran by any Honda/Acura or other type car... we know this isn't true!!!! So, where's the intelligence in this????

Final Word..... 4.6, 5.0, 5.4, 5.8 it DOES NOT MATTER!!!!!!! it's your car, your decision, no one else opinions matter about it. We all own Fords here, we should be giving BOW TIE's problems, not fighting with each other.......
