I'm actually in the process of building a 347 stroker for a 65 Mustang coupe... My dads car...

 

must just be driving the wrong cars, the torque and power of a large displacement engine is awesome, so is the sound.

 

Yeah, the 400hp svt mustang engine sux



So does the 400hp LS2



Oh and dont forget how much a factory warranty sux on the 475 hp LS7

 

Must be some extreme die hard rotor heads in here. Starting to question if some of you have actually driven other cars, lol. I love all kinds of cars. If you say that an RX-7 is boring & doesn't have potential, and isn't fun .... you have to be an idiot. If you say that a Mustang is boring & doesn't have potential, and isn't fun .... you have to be an idiot. Don't let being a fan of one car get in the way of even realizing another.





I could say I have a different perspective. I had an FC (pengaru on here bought it from me a couple of years ago). I have owned TONS of vehicles. It was one of the slowest I've ever owned. That doesn't tell me that I need to go telling everyone they suck. It was fun at higher RPM's, though. I still love RX-7's ..... and I'm currently searching for an FD to fix up.







As far as breaking loose ..... this (pictured below) is one of my current cars. I can break it loose (yep, even with those meats) and spin through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. When it was stock, & had stock wheels/tires ..... it would do the same. Not all V-8's suck people. I have V-8 truck (turbo diesel) that will smoke most cars on the road, lol.

 

Yup. Had the opportunity to drive a regular ol' 2006 Corvette 6-speed convertible over the weekend. The thrust from that engine is impressive. Came away from the experience thinking that 60 grand is a lot of money to pay for a toy.



Also drove the Shinka RX-8 that day. It felt crisp, but positively weak after the 'Vette. I could never own an 8 until they put a turbo on it. The pleasant surprise was the Speed 6, which has a very strong powertrain. I think Mazda has a really nice crop of cars in the showroom this year, and its giving their sales a real kick in the pants.

 

I pretty sure he drove a 4.6ltr mod motor...the pos 240-260 hp version in the later stangs.



I never said anything about the cobra motor, or ls2...or the ls7..which is 505 hp...not 475..if your gonna bea dick..atleast get your facts straight.

 

The V8 in my mom's Sequoia is neato.

 

Ive been looking into getting a LS7 for a project comming up. The guy I talked to on the phone said to expect 475 stock. Thats also what other "realistic" folks are telling me about it. But hey 505 makes me happy...





Im sorry I hurt your feelings sweetums......

 

well in a stock zo6..with its power robbing irs, they put down in the area of 440-450 stock to the wheels. which is less than 15% loss. also, don't get a ls7...its just a reselved ls2 block from the factory..you can get a built ls2 that will last you long for cheaper.

 

i have a v8 in my rx-7, best thing ive ever done, i buy my parts at a local napa store.



even tho i went to an rx-7 convention and a guy with a v8 rx-7 got boo'd out



btw that mustang has traction control
