Uh oh, you gave clues as to who the manufacturer is!
Great write up Glen. I traded my EB in for a GT and couldn't be happier. But, the EB in stock form wasn't bad at all and had plenty of power for the streets.
Stop light to stop light it wasn't that big of a dif.. just to redline the GT...
Very well said, makes me want to do something with my base GT that I got OTD for 32k. Best bang for your buck!
Nah, the Camaro isn't ugly I think it looks pretty sleek after seeing it in person. Just not as pretty as the S550! Ugly is the Pontiac Aztek.
That is true.. I know for sure Ford will counter, they always do.
Regarding the tranny's, I don't think just a 10 speed tranny alone will edge it out. Power to weight, gearing and suspension will have much more of an impact.
Sure the Clamato is faster but the looks of the S550's is superior...
Didn't the ZL1's run low 12's stock? The auto SS might be able to beat them and the manual is probably a tie or close behind.
Weight loss plays a big roll.
Shit, tuning the 5.0 really helps!
Last weekend I got smoked by my co-workers 16 SS M6 stock for stock. Didn't think I wold lose by that much but I end up losing 5-7 cars. And mine is an auto.
Great vid, had the cars weighed and everything. Best YouTube video I have seen.
Nope, why bother since it's may depreciate even more. They offered 22k, I owed 25k.
I debated over a month.. when the time came and I did it, couldn't be more happier.
Do it, you'll know what I mean.:)
Long story short, I traded my EB for the GT. Offered me 22k for my base EB with PP. Base GT was 32k OTD. I was underwater 3k so it wasn't too bad.
I ate the hit but every time I start the engine, it makes me smile. Worth EVERY PENNY for the upgrade!
Good luck to you.
Yeah I know. I just thought it will be closer so that's why I ran him. Very impress with the 6th Gen. He let me drive it after, that LT1 is a torque monster no kid.
But I still love my 5.0!
Down the road once my warranty is over, I'll do a tune with bolt-ons and I should keep up. Just don't...
Looks like all you have is CAI and exhaust?
Hmmmm.. Hard to believe but I'll take your word for it.
I was stock for stock with a M6 SS and I lost big time my man. I hate the new Camaro's.. those SOB's are fast stock.
It's cool, maybe one day I'll do something when my warranty is over.
Total fail on MT! I had an ecoboost once and it didn't feel like a mid 14.5 sec car.
Just the other article had the EB at 13.9 and now at 14.5? They better explain themselves, their credibility just took a dump.
Hey man, I love my 5.0 too you're not the only one! But I appreciate other brands too (Scatpack, Camaro's)!
I used to dog the Camaro, made fun of their weight but until raced and drove the 6th Gen, I have to give them the respect they deserve. That's all I'm saying ya'll :)
:ford:
Nice comeback, very adult-like and mature.
Congrats to your very fast Mustang that you got for cheap. Some of us don't want to mess with out warranty.
I brought up the Honda because the "Modding game" can go on and an on and car A can always be faster than car B for x amount of money.
Those...
Just to clarify, I didn't delete my post, it got deleted. One of your post got deleted as well. My other post is still on there and you sure pay attention to detail right? Don't even realize your own post got deleted as well!! LOL
No insults to anyone, but I'm not in competition with the new...
