I guess you havnt read my posts too much. I probably had one of the quicker 2.3L's on the forum, yet I'm defending both sides. I guess having knowledge allows me to overcome ignornace.

I like both just got a 2.3t because wanted small, high hp to put in my MGB project. A lot of 2.3t are in the high hp rating. So are the v-8's. Most of the 2.3t use junkyard parts or off other cars or were designed for for other vechicles. There is just not the support of parts for a 2.3t like in a v-8. How many differant "new" head are available for a v-8 compared to a 2.3t? Most 2.3t have a junkyard diy mode of thinking. Because we have to. Like said before I have no problem with v-8 guys. Maybe because of the turbo. Because of running something differant. I don't know. For the v-8 guys that haven't seen a 2.3 t drag. Will start with this person. Remember he still has stock interior in it but has added rollbars. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/e...erWheelsUp.flv
Here is another person. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/e...EDbyLYNCH1.flv
There is more just a one's I have as favorite's. Best wishs to all and keep it safe. Do it on the track.
ORIGINAL: TBird
A fully optioned SVO is about 3350
To be technical, the only options on an SVO was leather and sunroof, and to make it a comp prep, the comp preps being lighter of course. Just pullin' yer legof course
It all comes down to a couple things. I love my SVO's. They are unique, can easily be made pretty quick, look cool, whatever you want to say, you are going to come up with whatever you want to back up your argument.
The Mach used as comparison is very much in the same box as the SVO. Unique, rare, and cool. Think 20 yrs into the future and it will be very similar to the SVO today. I would love to have a Mach. IMO they are the best looking late model Mustang produced.
4's and 8's, apples and oranges. I have ~ $3,000 in my silver SVO and it runs consistently in the mid 13's right now. I love the car, and if I could have a Mach for $3,000 I would own it too. Sometimes the amount of $ at your disposal has a large impact on what you drive.

how many SVO's on this forum are in the 9's?... how many are in the 11's for that matter?..... pulley and exhaust on a Cobra or Exhaust and a cam on an Ls1 and bye bye.. sorry guys
I guess I can say I am.
I'm not worried about pulley/exhaust cobras been there raced them and so far never had one beat me. Not had the chance to run many stout chevys but a cam ls1 isn't a worry.
I think alot of the v-8 guys missed the point and alot of wrong info posted by the 4 cylinder guys just confuse the issue.
I have seen a few posts about na 4 cylinder mustangs but i'm unsure of why as this is the svo specific forum and they all came with turbos so the 4 cylinders being refered to aren't 88hp monstersyou guys might be thinking of.
The fully optioned svos didn't weigh 3350 unless you add a driver and tools. The svo's also handled awesome for the day and will still slap around a gt s197 in the corners. Bet the mach1 would handle the corners better then the new mustangs as it isn't as overweight and still makes similar hp.
The mach1 is a nicely balanced car and would make a good driver. They handle and feel more tight then a terminator. On the other handle all of the sn-95 and don't even get me started on the s197 cars are getting way fat in the ass and even with some of the awesome motors they have you can't really see how good they are because of the package that is holding them back. (look at the mod foxes to see how good these motors are and can be)
Just so you guys don't go thinking i'm just another 4 cylinder guy consider I have owned a 89gt with mods, a 95 gt with mods and currently own a 00gt with a 5.4 swap.
Meh do what you guys want, everyone is different but if i wanted to be fast in a 4cyl i sure wouldnt pick an SVO to do it with, you guys all argue that of for the price of a Cobra you could put that money in a SVO and be in the 9's blah blah blah.. how many SVO's on this forum are in the 9's?... how many are in the 11's for that matter?..... pulley and exhaust on a Cobra or Exhaust and a cam on an Ls1 and bye bye.. sorry guys
outdated technology and lack of support are the 2.3's greatest down fall.if you where to go to a forum such ask turboford.net or turbotbird and as such a question youwould most likely be surprizedbuy the answers you get. also think ofhow meny people own and do 2.3t modifications in comparison to 5.0 or 4.6s or ls1 owners. how many people owna 5.0 or 4.6 or ls1 and do nothing and are aware of there potential. how meny people own 2.3's and do nothing and are unaware of there potential.
