Why does this post look so familiar? Replace ford here with Supra and we have the Ls1tech.com Texas section.

REALLY?

the chevy guys pick on them too?
 seems they all like to run bigger engines, then pick on the ones that run smaller engines, and brag about how great they are.   

BTW, i've seen 7 second supras, although given the choice of a chevy over a supra, i'd buy the chevy....to hold me over till i got a ford.....   

[whiteman]

No, the Supra guys come bashing every LS F-body and Vette then get their tulips handed to them when it makes it to the track. Then when the video makes it back to the site the excuses start flying. I know a few guys with single digit Supras, problem is they don't know when to shut up.

LOL, yeah, because Ford fans can only drop forced induction into their 4.6 and 5.2 to make any kind of respectable horsepower and even then they brag about it.  So CAP I guess you hate Cobra-Jet 427's too, eh?

[whiteman]

BUT IT'S STOCK MAN!!!!111!111!!11!!!!!!!11!1

[DiabloTX]

He still thinks the LS7 is a "big block".

nope....i don't actually. in fact the car i'll own someday(albiet a replica) will be a cobra 427SC.

i have nothing against big blocks. once in a great while, i miss the feel of them. i used to drive my buddys 58 fairlane all the time. 390 3x 2bbls, 11.2's on street tires and pump gas. problem was it sucked gas something fierce. my 85 E-350 gets better milege than that did, although not as much fun. 

 what i'm saying is compare apples to apples. if you want to compare a 427 vette, or camaro to a mustang, then find a 400+ ci mustang to use. THEN not only will it be a valid test, but ya might find the chevy lagging a bit. 

 and considering you posted a vid in the other board using a forced induction big block powered corvette to beat a 6 cylinder nissan, i wouldn't be crying about forced induction.

well, actually, i know it's not......but i see 427 ci displacement, and the old 427's pop into my head.

same difference. bring out a 350 powered camaro to compare to the 330 powered mustangs. but thenm you'd not get the faster car then.

Well, when Ford gets the balls to produce something bigger it will be compared.  Until then keep crying!

I DON'T hafta cry.

i live fine in the knowledge that i don't see chevy taillights. at least not pulling away from me. i might notice em as i'm approaching though.

 seriously, i just have fun arguing(discussing) about this.....and i hope you, and everyone else understands that.......

[DiabloTX]

Oh yeah, and CAP, you want to keep bringing up how much the F-body is a rip off of the Mustang?  That's ok, I won't bring up the complete failure Ford introduced to compete with the Corvette!  **cough, cough, THUNDERBIRD, cough, cough**

[DiabloTX]

2006's Shelby GT-H and later Shelby GT, based on the standard GT model, is modified by Carroll Shelby International to produce 319 hp (238 kW) by means of a Ford Racing air intake, performance tune, and upgraded exhaust system.

Hmmm...all of that extra stuff, and a steep price tag...and it only generates 9 more stock horsepower than my old 2002 pushrod completely stock LS1.  Yeah, that's some balls for ya.
