What do you mean better balance? How is it even possible for it to handle better, especially when no one here agrees with you?

And you ignored the steering question.

He doesn't need support, this topic has been covered multiple times. M4a1 has youtube videos of his stock 5.0 keeping up with a 370z with thousands in suspension mods on the tail of the dragon. The 5.0 with the brembo package is a monster.

Well now that this thread was bumped, I figure I'll update the S2k. I replaced the stock HU and speakers with a Kenwood KDC896 and Polk DB651s speakers and Polk Db1001 tweeters.

It's way better now. I can actually hear the radio.

Actually sounds pretty good now for a HU and a pair of speakers and tweeters.

I thought you were selling it?

I still want to get another one someday... So hang onto it if you can, you'll miss it.

Steve....people still bashing you for the 5.0? That's why my time on this forum has been limited. It ain't what it used to be. I spend more time on tms.

I miss being able to casually discuss this stuff with you guys. TMS is too formal.

kinda sad ain't it? what I don't understand is that we were former z owners. I guess that still does not qualify as to give an opinion of comparison to a mustang. funny stuff.

have you been enjoying your honda s2k too?

It's because he's a fgt and won't give me a ride in it with the new suspension.

I don't know if either will be sufficient to satisfy the discerning Ford owner.
