Ahh Man...Mustang 5.0 swap???

roplusbee · 07-12-2011, 09:59 AM

We need more guys/chicks that are actually into the cars and performance instead of the ones that ghetto-rig or just want attention. I have met quite a few folks at meets and such that bought their car for the look/attention and have not even begun to become one with their machine. Then you got folks that make a Camaro into a donk............

And I hope I'm not a d-bag...........lol

I like Mustangs. Even Steve's... (even after seeing it in person)

I bought mine for multiple reasons. I needed RWD. I needed over 300whp. I wanted to drift. I love the attention. I needed a new car... lol. I mainly just wanted a daily driver that could easily drift and attract a lot of attention. Whammy! Nismo 370Z fixed all of that!

I have experienced countless number of V-8 engines both domestic and foreign ever since my Dad brought home a new 1955 Chrysler 300.
None in recent memory have impressed me as much as the Mustang's 5.0.
Based on its very strong and smooth power delivery and the sounds it makes, I would swear this engine came from the Maserati GranTurismo assembly plant.
Those who have yet to experience the sheer joy of this intoxicating engine, should do so.

i like this thread

dont know how i missed it lol. I love both cars (mustang gt/nismo) and both are great cars but i would like to shead my experience with both...Well I have a buddy here and he owns a 2010 Roush Gt 427R and I own a 2009 Nismo. I have driven his car, he mine, raced dig, interstate, back roads, we ride together all the time! Now keep in mine his car is stock, mine is fully bolted on...now off the line i say his car has the kick it moves out on me and is a car ahead by 70-80, but that is mainly because i cant get mine to stick off the line(ever!!!) and now on the i-state at around a 3rd gear pull like around 60-65 by 6th at 160 i am right on his passenger door! oh and through the twistys....well i ride his *** and i am having to break constantly....thats if i start behind his ***. I love his car and it will throw your *** back! that torque is m-azing. now i dont know about a regular GT but i would say a stock nismo and stock GT would be pretty close (not drag but imo nismo isnt meant for diggin) I know for a fact a stock nismo will beat a v6 no problem...dont know who told u the v6 would keep up but they lied to your face. My buddy says i "LOVE Driving" your car! He tells me its totally different u can really push that thing. He more or less saying the GT sort of just does its thing. Kind of like comparing the GT is racing Nascar and Nismo is racing Indy cars. You can drive a GT but not push it like u can a nismo.

I dont know what u should get but if u can hey get both they are totally different cars but which ever one u pick i dont think u will be disappointed

Interesting read.......

I agree that people sleep on the Z and are really only looking at the numbers and not how the car performs when driven as it should be. The dudes doing the testing are in no way one with the machines that they are testing. You have to be one with your machine and not that many folks are willing to go there.........

People sleep on every car. Just ask the e92 M3 from this morning.

Awesome........

I love how folks get caught up in the performance of their vehicle on paper and forget to add in the drivers' prowess. I have seen Mustangs that should "overpower" the competition get beat and others that should be dominated, posterize the competition. It's all relative I guess.

The one thing that I do know is that the new 5.0s and Boss 302s are something to reckon with. Hopefully, my friend that is picking up a 2012 GT doesn't get fully bolted and boosted before I become one with my TT and other upgrades (once I return from HELL), lol.
