I totally agree,.....the SS driver was Grampa Carbunkle, his launch was seconds slow! lol. I mean, the first launch the Mustang pulled away first by like a second, ...I mean what was he waiting for?
"Oh the race starts once he's ahead of me? Ok Wilber."
I'll give it this though, the 5.0 had some good launches. It seems like it's a car Ford build specifically to beat the
2010 CAMARO.
Fords requirements for the new 5.0: Beat the Camaro! And you all better not come out of that lab until it's done.
But was that SS even broken in? I mean Jesus Christ, my L99 has 350is rear wheel and pulls harder than that one did. I made sure the first day I got my car I red-lined it up to the limiter; many times. I broke my car in hard and got good results. That Mustang is definitely going to be some competition, but launching can be the determining factor in a race. The SS and the 5.0 would have probably been damn near dead even if the SS had a better driver and a good launch. But why are these Ford Fanboys going nuts that Ford finally built a car than can muster some respect out of musclecar loyalist when all they're doing is comparing a 2010 model to a 2011 model car!? THINK ABOUT IT. Your comparing a 2010 car to a 2011 car. Wait until 2011 when those Camaros come out, then if it does the same thing twice in 2011, I'll give Ford it's props. Then mod my car and take them away.
Oh and blackZ, I love your car,....it looks sick! All it needs is limo tint.
