Lol yeah Those words came up when our GT-R was at the dealership for a "secret" recall action. and tom was all "well since the Engine is out of the car. we can swap the intercooler but while we're at it we should also do the blowoff valves, intake and upgraded turbos" :roflpuke2:

happened with the Z too. "since the engine will have to go out for the painting.. you know while we're at it we should install a TT kit"

I want a Z 02-28-2011 03:11 PM

drifting back towards a 5.0
I think it may end up being a better DD then the Z

the tq for DD is awesome!!!!

Vegitto-kun 02-28-2011 03:23 PM

I actually wonder....what kind of traffic do you guys have to justify a V8 torque monster?

The Z itself feels like overdoing it here.

a nice DD from my experience is a megane coupé

loved that car. nice room inside, nice trunk, nice MPG and a pretty good looking car.

but then again I would probably pick the megane coupe RS instead of the normal one.

Dont regret my decision one bit, especially when I hear that thunderous roar coming from the pipes when I floor it. In some aspects I miss my Z, in particular, its ridiculous good looks, but it had no torque whatsoever. My 5.0 liquifies tires at part throttle. Do it.

Vegitto-kun 03-01-2011 02:25 PM

saw a older model mustang today with an aftermarket exhaust

jizz in my pants.

then later a RAM SRT10 with also an aftermarket exhaust + intake

I shot through my roof.

Red370 03-01-2011 02:47 PM

Like I said man, i'll be in Germany in July, provide me room and board, i'll drive out there and let you give er' a go.

ZYGOTE 03-02-2011 05:57 PM

Well guys, add me to the list of those that defected from the Z to the 5.0. Just picked up my black 5.0 with premium package today. It was tough letting the Z go, but this thing is just a beast in every way. I'll try and get some pics up later.

nuTinmuch 03-02-2011 08:36 PM

Well, I test drove one today...
































































...and I won't be buying one. :p

It's a great car, and I'd consider it a lot harder if this was a year ago, but I honestly didn't feel like it was that big of an improvement (over the Z). Sure, the power was there, but eehhh.

It also doesn't help that, apparently, only 20 or so 2011s exist with the Brembo package in the NE. The only other thing I would want is the premium package with nothing else, and that also doesn't exist. I'd have to grab a fully loaded one or something and it isn't worth dropping $8-10k for me.

Also, walking up the the 5.0 I felt the same as I did walking up to the Evo X. I knew it was a great car, I knew the potential -- but I just didn't feel anything. It felt like a car.

Besides, driving the Z to the Land of Blue Ovals, I saw two 350s and they both flashed their lights at me. I'll take it as a sign. :p

m4a1mustang 03-02-2011 08:38 PM

Hey, hats off to ya for going out to take a look at one. :tiphat:

They are awesome. I was more impressed with the interior than anything else. It was top notch.

If they had exactly what I wanted, I probably would've considered it a bit more, but alas.

I had to drive 1,000 miles to get one I wanted!

If I could do it all over again I'd probably order the car I have now but with the glass roof... those things are sick!

Ar you saying the mustang has down's syndrome?

m4a1mustang 03-03-2011 07:32 AM

Shado has down syndrome...

I had one want to race me the other day in my Jeep SRT-8. He had an exhaust and no telling what else. Well it wasnt enough. From a 60 roll I walked off and left him. I have to say I was really dissapointed. My Jeep is stock and weighs more... and is built to run from a dead stop. The problem with Mustangs are weight distribution and they are WAY too heavy. I would never consider buying one.... because there are already way too many of them out there.

What does your Jeep run in the 1/4? That sounds interesting to me. You sure it wasn't a 4.6?

They aren't all that heavy compared to similar cars and the weight distribution is pretty damn close to 50/50... FWIW I run 12.87 @ 110 stock.

Edit: Checked the specs on the SRT-8. Definitely BS. You've got at least 1,000 lbs on the 3600 lb 5.0, and only 8 hp more. That was a funny joke! :rolleyes:

flashburn 03-03-2011 07:58 AM

Sounds like it was a one man race to me. :rofl2:

That's the only way that boat would walk away from a 5.0. :bowrofl:

Don't get me wrong, the SRT-8 is a cool truck, but a 5.0 would rape it.

Why does cwiz get a bigger discount than me? Is that because he doesn't hurt you as much? :eek: :stirthepot:
