mustang 5.0 luv em or hate em?

[ForgottenX]

I hate em they make all the noise in the world and are slow compared to other domestics ... actually i hate mustangs (most I love the classics)... sry I know i'ma get flamed b.c of this ....

I know sum of the new stangs are pritty fast but still garbage wen considering the engine size. it should produce more HP.

[camaroincal]

Sounds like a typical ricer to me. For the money, you can't find a much better performance car. It has a HUGE aftermarket, and are fairly reliable. This is coming from a Camaro owner.............................

mustangs are pieces. especially the 5.0 because for one reason, they are way overrated. and the 5.0 looks soooo stupid. and just because somebody doesnt like the mustang doesnt mean the they are a ricer. i prefer my european cars.

[camaroincal]

So then what kind of car do you guys drive?

[freakonaleash1187]

i drive an oldsmobile right now and i am about to own a nissan 300zx in a couple of months. if you say a 300zx is a ricer, then you shouldnt even be near cars. first of all its not a little four banger. second of all its not gonna have one of those fart cans. i know plenty of people that own american cars that hate mustangs.

Well, if it's the non turbo version your gonna have your hands full with any "piece of shit" Mustang GT, and maybe even a newer V6. How much are you paying for it?

[Lamborsari_Merbini]

i have nothing against 5.0's they are solid cars and have aftermarket capabilities. the look may not be the best but its still a great car and definitely wont be forgotten for years to come

[freakonaleash1187]

the 300zx im looking at is $5,500 and it is n/a. i would get a tt, but i dont have enough money for that. im not going to keep my 300zx stock.

Sounds like your getting a good deal. I looked up the specs on the early 90's zx's. It would be a good race stock for stock between a 300zx and my car (97 Camaro V6 5 speed). You have 222 hp to my 200, but I have 225 tq. to your 198. We weigh almost the same too 3200-3300. I have a 5 speed with 3.23 gearing, are you getting a 5 speed? Do you know the gearing?

I've never taken my car to the track, but have done a lot of research and a car like mine with the 5 speed and an experienced driver can net low to mid 15's all day. Do you know what the early 90's n/a zx's run?

[freakonaleash1187]

of course im getting a 5 speed because i hate automatics. i have read that the 300zx n/a can do a 15.5 second quarter mile. so that would be a good race. a 300zx n/a was dynoed at 190 hp.

i have this friend that has a 96-97 (cant remember which year) camaro v-6, and he can keep up with a mustang cobra and he is still n/a. its loud as hell too. he has practically everything done to it.

[camaroincal]

Cool, ya I hate automatics too. I've driven them before, but never owned one. Ya, from 95-02 the Camaro V6 had 200 hp 225 tq., but everyone likes to dog on it for some reason. I only have a K&N airfilter and Flows on it, I need to get an lsd next.

[broddie50]

Love them. With a reasonable amount of money you can make an 5.0 a seriously fast machine. Some of the body stlyles are fugly but some of the GT hatches look awesome in my eyes sitting on some 18 inch Cobra's.

[Ace$nyper]

love them 302 is damn good motor will contiune to be a hot tuner car stangs are an american icon.

[Cro]

Have never driven a mustang, but from what I hear its slow. Mustangs in general are alright cars for their price, but won't be that fast when they are stock. I drove a v6 1990 buick that could whoop a new mustang v6. Presonally I like the 60s-70s mustangs but the new ones are secretary cars. However I think that is going to change with the 05 models...

[carguyinok]

I can say I wouldnt run out looking for a mustang. Dont take me wrong here. I know people with some bad azz stangs. But for me they just feel like they spin up RPMs so fast your always shifting. I say this because most of them I have put miles on have killer power. But it all seems to be so high in the rpms. Just when it's pulling the way I like it's time to shift.
