- the 4.6 is probably the smallest displacement V8 being used in mass production.
- 2V's especially have a hard time making power N/A. throw a cam and ported heads on a LSX or HEMI....they're putting out NA what low boost mustangs put out...
- full bolton/geared stangs often barely scrape 12's. again, we all know what full bolton LSX's do to us NA vs NA
- the most popular and mass produced version of the mustang is the drastically underpowered V6. You wanna talk about 'looking fast and not having the motor to back it up'....exhibit A...
- other than the cobras (functional) and Mach 1s (functional), v6's and GT's have pretty much the DEFINITION of rice tacked onto our hoods. A non-functional hoodscoop. Complimented by the non-functional 'brake cooling' side scoops. Almost as good as a giant wing on a civic....you wanna see a mean mustang? Black, rear spoiler delete, bullitt side scoops, cobra hood....the all buisiness look puts more fear into people than our hood scoops do....

i could go on but im gettin tired....im sure you can think of more.....
WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON!?!

Meh, so what. Mustangs have small engines.. We have to do with what we're givin Big diff between factory rice and real rice though. Hell most cars and trucks now have some kind of non functional spoiler/scoop. People want to look fast that's all
