Man screw all that Car and Driver/Road and Track timeslip crap. Sorry Si, but those guys cant race. HOTROD uses "corrected" times so thier junk dont look so slow, unless they actually get it running right. Magazines suck for times. MM&FF get some good times, but theyalso make me wonder because they get REALLY good times.

90Stang if you need N2O to beat an LT1, well do you have any $$ and do you want to go faster N/A? 5.0's can run, but the flash doesnt help much at all. Air in, air out. Its that simple. Want some realistic ideas that even a high school kid can afford over time? Just ask..

anyone who knows me on this bored knows that I am rational and a calm person who doesn;t start problems. But you are being foolish. your personal opinion of an engine doesn;t make it a bad engine. if you actualy knew anything about an LT1 maybe we could battle back some pros and cons about them. But you know what? I don't think that you would listen to them. You want proof?


think about it. The 05 gt's are suposed to be a high 13 low 14 second car right? just like the stock LT1's. so finaly after the LT1 hasn't been made for 7 friggin years there will finaly be a gt that will run with it stock/stock. your right, the LT1 must be bad. yeah. must be. since a 93 well maintained stock LT1 can run with a brand new 05 GT off the showroom floor.


Have a nice day and enjoy your sunday

Ok lets clear this up, in my opinoin, the rivials between mustang and camaro's. Im not down talking on the camaros, there good cars, if you like them. I dont really car for them.
For as many times as a mustang looses, they win just as many times. they equal out.Mustang vs. camaro...they both have there good engines, they both have there pro's and con's.
To clear it up I beat the a stock camaro,with my MODIFIED mustang.nuff said.
And the 05' mustangs will run low 13 from car and driver, not to mention the 05' 550hp cobra...I think it will be more than par with a 02' camaro SS, I know alot about the Lt1, and LS1, there are both good engines. I just think for its size it should be faster. an 03' cobra would smoke a 02' camaro SS,thats a DOHC4.6 Vs. a 5.7 LS1, the smaller engine will woop a big engine.Im not saying thats true for all years but they both have pro's and con's, I wont lie the LS1 engine is awsome,it gets good millage,has tons of HP/TQ, is very light and powerful. Its a good engine.

Who said the '05 is going low 13's? When did they produce a 550hp Cobra? The new Cobra is blown and it doesn't outrun the 5.7L LS6. I forget the exact number, but the blower on the Cobra is around 1.5L, which means it is actually like the motor is displacing more.

You must have lived under a rock since ol about '93 if you think a GT is anywhere near par with a corresponding year f-body.

Ok you're missing key points in your arguement here... not to mention you're contradicting yourself.

Yup, nuff said. but you still bragged on it.

Last page it was a POS though??? make up your damn mind.

Can ANYONE ELSE figure out what I'm about to say about this? Thats right. The 4.6 DOHC needs forced induction to beat the Naturally aspirated 5.7 LS1. Put a 150 shot of nitrous on that LS1 SS, or an SC of it's own and it'll walk all over the Cobra. Ford doesn't seem to want to go with a 351 in it's top end sports car from the factory, so it sort of... well... cheated. threw in an iron block, forged pistons and slapped a blower on the intake.

Damn, you're still alive? I thought you died after you missed the thread in the video forum...even had your name in it and all. Teh win.

well you seem to change you mind a lot. first it's a bad motor, then a good motor, then they have good and bad motors. So which is it? a low 13 second 05 GT? I doubt it. and 03 cobra smoking an 02SS? no. the 02 can run anywhere from a high 12 to a low 13 STOCK and without the blower like the cobra has. sure the 03 cobra is fast, I got walked by one when I was stock and thats fine, I know I have something more for him this time but explian how very similar times is "smoking" If your going to insist on bashing a car or motor at least have the facts to back it up or just come right out and say that it;s all the ideas thats in your head. Cause it's sure not facts that your saying. If you don't like them fine, thats your deal. But that doesn't make them bad, slow etc etc etc.

Who cares what displacment of a motor is? you can' just say that since a camaro is a 5.7 and a stang is a 4.6 that the camaro should be so much faster just cause of engine size. There are so many contributing factors that go into a motors output. Same reason that the hondas and the V6's are making a much HP as older V8's

Mach1

Yes a blown cobra should walk past an ls1 and yes its 1 liter smaller, but why dont you compare the N/a ls1 to the n/a 4.6, liek the mach1.

"I just think for its size it should be faster."

What do you mean? Ls1s put down at least 305 to the wheels. Id say thats pretty impressive, especially with all the smog and noise requirements. First you say theyre junk now you say theyre good engines.
