5.0 vs SSEi Posted By: mrcrazyhimself On: 03-18-2010 @ 12:24:44 Reply | Edit If anyone has seen my past couple posts, im real close to getting a 93 mustang lx 5.0 auto, 3.73 gears, new dual exhaust and intake, hurst shifter, rebuilt engine and trans. The king of our school parking lot is a SSei bonnieville. Should i be able to take him with that 5.0? Im assuming so cuz stock the stang is 235 and he's 240 with only an intake upgrade...I also think theres a 95+ turbo talon, maybe not even turbo. and a 99+ v6 mustang. im assuming id be able to take them all. I dont even no wat times i may clock in, atleast 14's?? -- ........F-body-less..... If anyone is around the buffalo area, and has a nice f-body willing to sell for a good price, im definitly interested... Posted By: BlackScreaminMachine On: 01-25-2006 @ 12:30:00 Reply | Top | Edit Yes, you should beat him. On a side note, its kinda sad when the parking lot king is a Luxo-cruiser like an SSEi. If the Talon is indeed turbo and the guy knows how to mod it, he would be the fastest imo. -- '94 Z28 featuring Nu-tekmotorsports 383 LT1, All forged, Fully ported, Crap load of bolt ons, and coming soon this summer a Bret Bauer custom cam

Posted By: BlackScreaminMachine On: 01-25-2006 @ 14:27:34 Reply | Top | Edit Look, I am not even in HS anymore. This past Sunday I was going to pickup dinner in my 2000 Hyundai... the camaro as most would know is apart. The weather was decent, no snow on the ground. I saw a Black 350z. I like they way they look, nice cruiser. Well I saw the passangers, anywhere between 16-21ish... All I know is no way in hell could they afford that car with their own money. They needed help in some form or manner. OR they just borrowed/was given the car. Of course he had a passanger who is all excited he can be in a car he will never own... Just annoyed me a little. -- '94 Black Z28, 383 LT1 Breaking 11's SOON!

Now I had better track times, but his car would have eaten mine with the right driver! Your mustang has potential, but the auto is not the way to go unless you plan to spend decent $$!

"The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work."- Mark Twain Posted By: mrcrazyhimself On: 01-26-2006 @ 09:28:51 Reply | Top | Edit Yea, i know, i would rather have manual but the thing is 1. its rare enuff to find a decent sports car around here in good shape, 2. Hard enuff to find one in a lower price range. 3. and my parents are real gay about the manual, if for some reason they needed to drive it, they couldnt'' I didnt no auto vs manual was a HUGE difference. I kno u have more control over your car but cant you put it on the dyno and see where the shift points are around and just program it? I rly am a newbie. Auto doesnt bother me, Mid 14's don't bother me. For a first car, and a good running project, a car like this is sorta wat i need.

Posted By: BlackScreaminMachine On: 01-26-2006 @ 10:40:32 Reply | Top | Edit The man issue is with smaller displacement motors is just that LACK OF DISPLACEMENT, hence torque in the lower rpms are less, thus you must raise up the launch RPM to get the car going. i.e. Torque multiplaction. In a manual its easy to push the clutch in, raise the rpms and dump it, where you could increase your stall converter but then your always stuck having to wind the motor up to a certain extent. But then the auto will always be consistant. Its a trade off. -- '94 Black Z28, 383 LT1 Breaking 11's SOON!

Posted By: 25thmustang On: 01-26-2006 @ 20:35:27 Reply | Top | Edit Its a lot of reasons for the auto sucking over the manual. The manual has MUCH better gear ratios, less power loss through the drivetrain, and allows you to shift the car exactly how and where you want it! The auto is going to need a good shift kit (really good) and a converter to even be close to a 5-speed. I had a 2600 converter, and drag radials, and my car ran 14.2s. I put the stick in, without having ever driven one for much time (had a week under my belt) I ran 13.9 with a good 2 more mph. This was probably granny shifting, and launching horribly! Now my car runs much better times, and feels like stock. With an auto Id have to have a big converter, probably a manual VB, and steeper gears to run this number, and that would KILL my streetability! --

Posted By: mrcrazyhimself On: 01-29-2006 @ 00:22:08 Reply | Top | Edit see, your looking from your view point. This car WILL, i mean WILL be used for a year. its in great shape, looks good and prob can be sold for wat i buy it for. $1500 no rust. I need a commuter. Now, over the next year, i will be working lets say 3 jobs, well 3 over the summer. i have a town job, my regular guitar store job which hopefully i will begin teachin music= $16, and my friends landscaping and escavating business. I would rather driving something that is in great shape and obvious not raced and abused, then spend $2500 on a 3rd gen camaro from about here that has obv been beat to shit with 120k on the clock. I have to bum rides to work to get to work from school. Come on, i kno its slow but if u had the choice with $2000 to spend and u NEEDED somethin, would u rather drive around in a 90 dark blue shiny mustang or some beatup tempo or rust bucket. for the money, it's wat i can afford, i think some of u can relate to the situation... Now that ive put u all to  with my 18 year old newbie whinning, which i realize i am, im gunna go cuz im too poor to get anything with some beef....-- ........F-body-less.....

Posted By: 25thmustang On: 01-29-2006 @ 23:00:29 Reply | Top | Edit When I was 18 I had a 5.0 running 12s, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited... HEHE, I also worked my a$$ off to get them! If I had $2000 and was in the market, I really think Id get something 4cyl, 5-speed, and just save. My 4banger gets about 26-30 mpg on the highway and 20-24 in town, which isnt bad, but a comparable 4cyl car will probably get 30 in town and up near 40 on the highway which is nice for some money saving! Granted I can see what you mean, I dont know about NOT having something nice looking to drive, I mean I had a 5.0 as my first car and havent been without it from the time I got my license till now! If you want the 4cyl, go for it, but coming from me, its slower than a comparable 4cyl, will get worse mileage (its a heavy car) but will look better and make you feel better! I actually enjoy having mine, especially with the 16" pony rims on it, and with it all waxed up and looking good! --
