I beat em by 2 cars. May have been car wasnt taken care of or it was just a turd. Point is the 5.0 wasnt THAT fast to begin with.

But go jump on the new 4.0 with a stock 5.0 ,and yu will get ur feelings hurt.

You should have done a lot better than 2 car lengths. Mach's are mid to high 13 second cars bone stock right? Seems like most 5.0's were running mid to high 14's stock, mine ran 15's flat in stock trim (Hawaii air not so good as Englishtown).

Besides, who has a stock 5.0 these days? Nobody I know...

no no not in the mach. in the V-6 . My mach would blow the doors off stock 5.0 . My moms V-6 is what beat the 5.0 . Her little V-6 would fly. It had the ford racing headers, and true dual exhaust on it, with K&N.
I was surprised.

The Facts are the Modular Overhead Cam Motor is the best thing since VTEC :rofl: :lol: I have a 2 valve modular and live in Ft Lauderdale Maybe we'll line up at the track one day if you head up there :naughty: :nailbite:

what tranny did the 5oh have and what did the v6 have? alot of it could have to do with driver error. i only know 2 v6 mustangs that can blow the doors off alot of cars and one of them has a beautiful twin turbo setup.


lets keep this 5.0 vs 4.6 discussion the thread is getting very interesting
