you really do add some of the dumbest posts i have ever seen. Well no **** you'd take a performance V8 over a v6.

 

I was going off what Masteratarms said dumb sheat

 

Thanks for that. I'm glad we have resorted to name calling....

I knew where you got it from. Although it had nothing to do with what he typed. He was referring to the differences between the Ford and Chevy cylinder displacements of the past and present.

The LS1 is a 5.7L and at the time it came out, the Mustang GT used a 4.6L. This was in 1998.

Here it is 2011, and there is still over 10 liters difference. 6.2 is the LS3 in the Camaro SS. 5.0 is the Coyote.









How in the **** does 383 and 4.0 have anything to do with that??

 

Sorry, I get caught up in the moment. Youd think Ford would ge ttheir heads out of their lower colons and make a good engine. Dont get me wrong, the Coyote is a good engine (so far) but Ford hasnt developed a good, large displacement engine for awhile now. Even the Shelby gets its power from the old 5.4L

 

I'm digging the Ecoboost motors. Although they are not throaty V8's, they are pretty bad ***. I have been following along the Ultimate Adventure 2011 and they are running an Ecoboost F150, and its pretty awesome. Again, just too pricey right now. Once they come down in price, they will be well worth looking into for swappers.

As far as V8's, the Coyote is great for what it is. Small V8 with great power and good gas mileage. Not sure how it does with pulling a trailer or something like that, but its perfect for a sports car.

 

Please go play in traffic.

Thank you lol

 

Why do they need a large displacement engine? 6.2 with both torque and Hp over 400 seems decent to me.

 

There's no replacement for displacement. And you can only get the 6.2 in trucks

 

Funny, the 5.0 in the 'stang and 6.2 in the camero have identical 0-60 times. A little 5.9 Cummins can pump out some massive power, and the old 2.3l Turbo Fords can run 800+HP all week on Hotrod magazines power tour

 

5.9 cummins is not little by any means....

As far as the camaro vs mustang, that's another opinion for another thread. I am impressed by the new 5.0

I have driven the new Camaro, and i must say, they are seriously lacking in the acceleration department. We ran my 01 SS against a 11 SS and i left him. Not saying i am a great driver or anything of that sort, just showing where i was not impressed.

 

But if you put the same money that u put into that 2.3 into a new stang or camaro, I'm sure u can crank out close to the same hp

 

5.9 is little...only 360 cubes. Elcaminoman you just said there is no replacement for displacement, then you partially agree with me? I'm not sure you would need $35-40K to make a 2.3 turbo with 400hp. I'm guessing it would be substantially less.

 

But a diese lalso has little in common with a gas engine. Diesels are ridiculously easy to make power... to a certain point.

 

It was you that said there is no replacement for displacement, you didn't specify gas or diesel. Set the pipe down man.

 

Wirelessly posted (Timberwolf)

How in the hell does this thread have 1700+hits?! 3/4's of it is trash talk. Lol

 

I was hoping it would die but noooooo, of course not

 

^^^ lol that wouldnt be any fun.
And once again, diesels have nothing in common with gas. No replacement for displacement is a big block vs small block term. Theres no such thing as a big block diesel... there all big blocks lol

 

4bt big block? riiiiight

 

I lol'd.

Excuse me while I try to erase 7 pages of retardation from my memory.

 

Lol well its got a bigger block than a gas 4 banger

 

Ya aint gonna erase any retard from your mind while im around lol. Soon as you forget, ill remind ya

 

I really think you need to spend a month on wikipedia to get some facts straight haha and explain how Shelby uses the "old" 5.4 in his cars

 

I was thinking the exact same thing

But this thread is comical

 

Lol well theres a iron block 5.4 and an aluminum block 5.4. Thats different. And isnt there a 2V and a 3V 5.4?

 

there is also a 4V 5.4
