Default raced a 5.0

So i was at a red light tonight on my way from school the light turns green and i see a 5.0 flooring it so i wanted to see for my self how much faster they are. normal take off and missed second (i know i fail) i kept up right behind him didnt even get a full car length ahead of me very surprised. when i finally pulled up i noticed he had 4 people in his car. i was disapointed that i lost couldnt believe how fast theese things come out of factory 4 people in his car and he still won....

moral of the story i now want a 5.0 very badly 2 bad i have no money .

guess im gonna go rent one with my brother for a day and beat on it as much as i can.

Get the insurance. Then it can get more air time than a skateboard at the xgames.

You can't quote people without giving credit to them Lol. There you go, fixed it.

But yeah, 100+ horses makes quite a difference. Just throw an M90 on and you will be passing them.

I'm gonna guess that 1994 was a really good year for you, about as good as it gets when you look back on it.

Fixed lol. Here's two of my friends. M90 4.6 vs x-pipe and mufflers only 5.0.


The new 5.0's are RIDICULOUS!

Ehh, aren't the Roushs tuned conservatively for the M90? But I do agree the five ohhs are ridiculous! I also didn't think about the tranny being a 6 spd in the 5.0. That makes a huge difference.

I dunno, I have a TVS2300 and I killed a 5.0, even with a bad launch. Maybe it's not as bad from a roll.
