5.0 Foxbody = Ford donkey sludge. The later 4.6L GT is better.

Nice kills Mike. So uh...when are we gonna do our little race?

haha i can tell you don't know shit about ford motors. The 4.6s are better (99 and up only) then the 5.0s stock for stock but once you put a better set of heads/cam/intake on the5.0 they kill the 4.6. 4.6 does not have much aftermarket support like the 5.0 does.

You are correct, I don't know a lot about Ford motors nor do I really care to learn about them honestly. However, from every Mustang "enthusiast" I've come across, they've almost never had anything good to say about the 5.0L engine V8. I'm sure that they have a huge aftermarket following and they go in a straight line very well, but all I ever hear from Mustang guys is that the 4.6L is usually a better bet. You sound like a Ford guy so I'll take you word for it on the engine builds.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go tinker with my 1.8L I-4. lol

The 4.6 makes great power for what it is; an oversized pile of small displacement techno garbage. Now they love forced induction but they cost an arm and a leg to do anything to. IMHO the smallblock still rules -- it costs half as much to make twice as fast. I've had both, and I absolutely love the stock motor in my car but it dosen't really make enough torque for as heavy as the car is. On the bright side, however, look how well the 32v motors woke up with a positive displacement blowers from '03 on up.

RanKizama, I was next to you on 575 a few weeks back headed south towards barrett (I followed you on from sixes in my red 99 cobra droptop). I wanted to see how fast a msm miata was but I was below "E" and didn't want to run out of gas, lol. You've got a good lookin' car, I'll introduce myself if I see you out anytime soon.

Droptopdrifter,

You didn't used to run around a couple years ago in your miata with like 275+ or nitto D/R's on the back did you? I remember seeing a green miata at one of the "unliscensed test tracks" out on the eastside a couple years back...thought it was kinda cool looking with 4 inches of tire sticking out each side, lol.

Nice post of info. It's always good to learn new things.

I appreciate the compliment but I'm pretty sure that your Cobra will eat my Miata alive. Still, we should meet one day and chat a bit. Then, if you still want to, you can blow the doors off my MSM.

What about the civic that beat you.
