Yea it's that farting noise from 4-cylinder imports that are the sound of real power!!!

I don't mean to get off the subject of making fun of 4 bangers....
but my car sounds good....and it's fast too...

i guess thats more then you could say for those lil hondas eh?

anyways, the thing that gives the Stang its distinct sound is mainly it's dual exhaust. the other factor is in fact its firing order.

to recap...i think stangs sound good.
thank you and good night.

I read somewhere that Ford actually tried to make the sound the same when it switched to the modular engine in 96. They also kept the power outage the same at 225 which isn't very impressive. I personally believe that the 99+ gts and cobras (at least the 01' anyway) are the best production stangs ever. True they may not be quite as fast as the big ls1 but they still get really close to the 13 second range (the cobra gets a 13.8 with the gt at just over 14). They also handle quite a bit better, especially the cobra with it's independent suspension in the rear. The reason the 5.0 became so popular was because it is so easy to make power. Check out corral.net forums for some real late model mustang enthusiasts.
For bang for the buck, the mustang simply can not be beat. Well, maybe with the exception of the mighty Zo6 (droollll, .97g on skidpad bone stock, titanium mufflers, 365 horseis, all for 50 grand).:bandit:

Well I don't know if you are pulling your quarter mile times from magazines. But I have seen, and have buddies that will let you see, 99+ GT's pull 13.8's and I've seen a stock Bullit pull a 13.5 on DR's. I still can't believe the Bullit's run but I saw it with my own eyes so I can't argue it. I've seen 2001 Cobra's pull 13.3 -.2, granted all of these are by really good drivers that know their respective cars. But it can be done obviously. And what makes the five liter so popular is the aftermarket but what do you expect from an engine that's been around since the 60's?
