My huge red rocket picture thread

I didn't say made. I said designed

They had to make it so they could sell it also

Buy a 2v mustang. It has an f150 drivetrain so you can beat the piss out of it and it doesn't care. :lol:

Yikes

Well that's not entirely true.

It does share the 8.8 axle, and the 2v 4.6, but there are differences, non-interchangeable differences. But really when you get down to it you should say the f150 has a mustang drivetrain because for "truck" duties that setup is cutting it very thin. Some of it's just not stout enough for heavy duty work.

The 99-04 mustang's aren't bad though, they're just garbage from the factory. You need to cut down on pointless weight, get a panhard bar, upgrade the arms/bars on the 4 link, coilovers, and run a good 2-4" stagger in the back to make the rear end more stable and predictable. Sadly it's a widely untapped market. Most people won't go to those lengths because everyone just assumes those cars can't be made any better.

Part of it has to do with modular engines being pricey to build as well though, but they love to be revved and run hard so I can't imagine them being a bad engine on the track.

Gay, but it's supercharged . So that makes up for the homosexuality :lol:

Stop copying me you fags.

Idk about Ryan, but I try to stay away from crowded areas....

Actually it's been in the garage for almost a week... the tags expire tomorrow too :lol:

Yours does have more hp :lol:

Mistangs always find a way :mrgreen:

I just haven't gone anywhere much. Been working on things at home, when I do go somewhere I need the truck to haul stuff so it sits :lol:

I'd say they're about even stock for stock. I keep seeing people say that GM underrated the SS/SC at 205hp, but dyno charts say anything from 210-220whp and around 200 ft/lb tq.


But the S2k weighs less. I just get that sweet whine sound and a boost gauge :lol:
