Paul, unless you're taking pictures of a new 5.0 badge you might want to contain your enthusiasm. Google tells me your 0-60 time is in the 5.2 range, quick but certainly not world-beating. Even my lowly water pumper has better numbers. Best to not slap your dick on the table when Ron Jeremy is sitting next to you.......

Edelbrock makes a nice little edition I'm considering adding...;) Besides, my post was directed at Randy...I've seen his 911.

The only time I am likely to see the rear of a mustang on the road is when driving the Vanagon -- even you could out-maneuver that, Paulie!

Then you'd have something to brag about.

That mustang is awesome and all, but when you can easily stretch 650hp and 800lb/ft out if this.....what's the point

And don't forget that all four seats behind that motor are heated and cooled and recline.

solution:
don't get caught or don't drive in Oregon:p

Gotta say the Edelbrock Mustang has the AMG beaten in engine aesthetics. That's one purty motor.

Go price a used AMG. They depreciate faster than a Mustang pushed off of a cliff.:cool:

BTW, I have a 2012 crew cab F150 rental truck this week with the 5.0. Even though it's installed in a truck, this is a BAD ASS motor. It's easily the nicest sounding stock V8 that I've driven, and it makes this big truck move pretty damn well. I can see how the 5.0 Mustang is a little bit fun.

I hate that, I want to look @ the engine without all that crap on it...

HHI944 02-13-2012 03:08 PM

Go price a w220 s600....I found one under 30k with the renntech ecu/tcu, intake manifold and transmission upgrade. For those counting, that's 650hp and 800lb/ft reliably with all the creature comforts of an s class.

HHI944 02-13-2012 03:09 PM

Matt, I drove a base gt as well as the gt500....the base gt definitely had some get up and go and the noises it made were very nice.

Here is video of "how fast can a Mustang go?" It is a review from Sport Auto the German magazine. The car hits the speed limiter and doesn't fall apart.

Also has a little 991 information on braking. I know there are few Mustang fans on this forum, but these new Mustangs are not a joke. Honestly, at 44K these are good fun.

I mistyped earlier...meant to type edelbrock makes a nice little addition, not edition. That is their "e force" blower...an easy bolt on to the 4.6 cars. The lowest "stage 1" horsepower is 425. Well engineered, one would fit under my "Bullitt" strut brace. Of course, this would lead to "needing" bigger brakes, suspension tweeks, etc.

AND with some dealerships now accepting sticker money for a Boss 302...

Hell, I dunno. Just how much power do I need to get to the pool hall & back? ;)

Stephanie...great video. Thanks! That seemed to silence some critics. ;)
