Had to put the smak down on a 4.6 GT

Why is it so hard for people to believe that the new 260 HP 4.6 can make runs mid 13's with a good driver?

Seems like people are scared of the 5.0 and other pushrod engines getting knocked off the power throne.

Something I noticed, LT-1 and prior guys dont really mind all that much losing to my old 64 1/2, but they absolutey hate loosing to a 4.6L, why is that.

And you should see a drivers face thats driving an LS-1 as you edge by him. Its priceless.

On guy in a FireBIrd early LS-1 was so suprised he gazed at me with his Jaw kinda sagging, and he hit the REV-Limiter wich made him drop way back.
