That would be nuts. Still debating on whether or not I want to do the 4.08 gears/diff. They are some pretty awesome mods that would help a lot on the track, but I don't want to spend too much money on the Z.

Because you might trade it in for a 5.0 or Shelby???

That was the same issue I had with the z...I was basically at a crossroads were I wouldn't be happy without wildwoods, LSD/gears, and sc....and I realized it wasn't worth it.

One day when the prices drop I may buy one again as a beater for track days and such.

Yea the tq is nice, but it did not help it much. The 350 was as fast or faster during the 4.6L Stang life span.

That wasnt my experience around here. I could usually edge out the comparable model year 350's with my 01 GT.

the 260hp sorta sucked but the torque was great, assuming you knew how to drive it. Unfortunately most people can't seem to handle a car that makes such great low end torque and thus why you saw 350s beat them here and there.

Red__Zed · 10-18-2011, 03:19 PM

The 4.6 was brought out in what...95?

Lemers · 10-18-2011, 03:24 PM

So the 5.0 will be around in why 2026?

Red__Zed · 10-18-2011, 03:25 PM

Mayb they'll use it as long as the last 302

Red__Zed · 10-18-2011, 03:44 PM

That's true. Didn't you start out with a base Z, blades?

I have a touring without the sport package. All those things I listed earlier were things I plan on getting in the future, not ones that I already have.
