:lol: Yes because GM was the first company to make an engine with a front mounted throttle body, scond drive belt for the a/c etc. Packaging was a big thing that prevented the 4.6 in the sn95 platforms from having a front mounted throttle body. By your logic every one has been copying Ferarri since they have had front mounted throttle bodies since..........they started making engines really!
Also your statement of nobody cares about base model for base model is complete bull shit!!! If no body gave a shit then why do sooooo many car magazines test stock cars against each other all the time! Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Automobile, Road and Track etc! Every body knows that once you start to mod it all comes down to who has more money in their wallet. I could make an 8 second 3 cylinder Geo Metro with enough money.
Stock for stock the new Coyote will stand up very nicely against the LS3. When you start to mod I will give the advantage to the LS3, BUT we dont know how well this new 5.0 is going to respond to mods either. Some speculate that there is not much left to squeeze out of it but time will tell. Chances are we wont really know till 2-3 years from now.
Last time I checked this was a Ford SVT performance forum. However, this forum seems to have the most Ford owners with the most respect to other brands than any other I've ever been on. YOU are nothing but a groveling, sniveling GM nut hugger with blinders on. Have all your post come from this thread alone?!?!?! GTFO TROLL! This thread had potential until you and a couple other GM nut suckers and a couple narrow minded Ford nut swingers ruined what could have been a good thread with some good information and good tech! But now this thread belongs in smack down.:bored:
A) The Camaro and Challenger are competitors of the mustang and if you really dont think that each company buys the others vehicles and has the engineers disassemble it and imitate the designs then your crazy. I assume that you agree with the first part of what I said about the P/S pump and Headers.
B) your next point makes no sense, when did I say that magazines dont test like cars against each other? Many people were posting about how the Mustang now has a 400hp base model for 30k and that is somehow suppose to mean something. The Camaro has a base model v8 with 400hp or 426hp depending on a man or auto for around 36k.
C) if you go back to my first post on this thread then you will see I basically said exactly that.
D) Your right that this is a Ford site, but this is not a Ford only section of the site especially when people are posting up videos racing an Accord/Z28/ZO6 and others. Maybe its just ignorant people like you who read the last few posts and feel the need to open your mouth that get pissy when were not all singing about Ford. This is a discussion about the new motor and its potential against a proven motor, if you dont like that, then dont come into the topic. Who cares if Ive only posted on this topic? I dont own a Ford, Not too many other "Resturants" have topics that Im interested in right now and I was contributing/discussing in this thread until stupid A$$holes like you came along.
