i gotta say i really hate when people call it a 5.0, and when i tell them its a 4.6L i usually get the same response..."man your car is slow!" i guess they're so ignorant because most of the stangs around here are modded fox bodies

My buddies dad who is a longtime muscle car owner and has had 3 mustangs... Him commenting on his 2002 GT when I first met him and he saw my car, it was time to talk shop. "Yea I added a K&N filter and they say that's good for about 5HP. I think I'll toss in a set of Flowmaster "flow thru" mufflers, they really unleash some power. I think abfter that I'll be done with it. I should be at about 280HP then. What do you have on your car?" I gave my little speach about my CAI, TB, plenum MAM, Exhaust, T/A, pulleys, springs, shocks, struts, CA's, and stuff and he says.... LMAO "Wow, that's impressive. Prolly got a solid 300Hp or so on that thing huh? Would be a good match-up." [:@][:@][:@] what a dumbass. He has had two foxes both lightly modded and he knows jackshi!t about cars.... I didn't have it in me to tell him he was stupid[]


Oh yea a kid from work sitting in his Cavalier with TWO fartcans, a bodykit and some 16" pimpin' wheels when I asle dhim to race me cause eh was talking smack when I was off of work.... "Ummm yea I'll race you. You don't have 300hp do you? If you promise you don't have 300HP I'll race." WTF jeasus tap damncinf Christ wtf is wrong with these ppl?!?!?[:@] like his cavalier with two mufflers can take anything under 300HP.

I really hate when people call my car a 5.0,people are always asking me if its a 5.0 and when i say no its a 4.6 they always seem disapointed.
I also hate it when people make fun of my car because its an auto. [:@]

I second that. I miss slamming gears. I just try to remind myself I don't need a line-lock to roast tires. Fun to do that to ricers.

This is something that's been said to me a couple times about my GT & even my Cobra.

"Is it a 5.0?"
"No it's a 4.6"
"Oh, it's still pretty quick right?"
"Actually it came with more HP stock than the Fox 302 ever did"
"It's a V8 right?"
"Uh yeah, it came with more HP stock than the Fox 302 ever did"
