i wanna run a 5.0 mustang

[DynamicSound]

Did you not hit the gas pedal?

Gave it everything it had...5.0's have tons of torque...that is what they are known for. So their take-off is mean. 350Z/G35's lack in torque...they suck on take off. Now, if we started on a 40-50 roll...I would get him. I have raced 2 2005+ (1 was a 2008) Mustang GT's from a 40 roll and we were dead even up to about 120 and I pulled on him and continued to pull until I hit my max of 160. On take-off, those same Mustang's would beat me.

depending on the year, a stock 5.0 GT, if it has the h/o motor is a high 14 sec car. a newer GT(4.6 3v) runs high 13s. so either your G is a turd or your buddies car isnt stock. i find it very hard to believe that a stock 5.0 gt, with either a 2.73 or 3.31 gear can spin the tires all the way to 40mph.

My b.s flag is raised.

edit- i saw that you posted its a 89. with that being said, my buddy had a 91 fox with FRPP heads, 4.30 gear, all your favorite bolt ons, and slicks and only went 8.6s in the 1/8th mile. they do make some good torque but they are by no means, ungodly.

Ive seen lots of stock 5.0's get wheel spin to easily and im sure it can happen to 40mph if you push the motor.
My brother has a 85 with HO and it is a bitch to launch with no wheel spin till 3rd.
Another of my brothers just got a 90 5.0 today im curious in seeing its pull.

well i guess the G is a turd then lol, i mean they are heavy cars so they wont have much take off. especially with the torque they make, but i still dont see a stock 5.0 outrunning it if he was spinning THAT bad. the guy needs to learn how to peddle it lol.

the reason people love the 5.0s is becuase they are stout motors that have a HUGE aftermarket. you put a nice cam, gear and a good set of heads on one and you have a pretty fricken quick car.

Sadly ive heard to many Z and G guys claiming the same take off is compared to a NA 300zx you just can't launch them.
They are heavy as shit and just NO torque but once they get going They will fly...

If your G35 was stock I call bullshit, I don't care if you are John Force. Bull. Shit.
