My first attempt at making a video lol

Sorry for the low quality, I wanted to upload it quickly so I compressed the video.

This is the same mustang that raced the ZL1 aka "GT500slayer".

The 5.0 obviously had traction in this video, and this is how it rolls out...

Great run, looks like the centri would have inched ahead if you guys went any faster but 140mph on the street is plenty fast enough.

I wouldn't say teeth kicked in is a fair statement. Do you not remember the last race in the vid? Once he had traction the race was a lot closer. :lol1:

Once he had traction? Thats a funny excuse... Even funnier when the 5.0 was on 15s with slicks and the ZL was on 20s with radials. I guess since we are gonna pull excuses we might as well mention how on the last race the ZL stock blower was too hot and causing the ECU to pull timming.

I dont know about you but I saw the 3 first races where the 5.0 got pummeled and amtraked with no mercy and the 4th race where they were a close race. I call that getting teeth kicked in. :thumbsup:

I am on e85, and the 5.0 is on pump gas (maybe meth? idk)

Obviously the 5.0 moves out, but on that day when the Zl1 and the 5.0 ran it lost. The 5.0s suspension was out of whack and he just blew the tires off.

And rematch is coming soon between them, I'm hopefully also running the ZL1

I was hoping that you would do a little better on this video. I think you should have put at least a good solid car on the 5.0. Did you have any issues?

Cant wait for those races.

No issues with my car. The cars are pretty evenly matched IMO. The 5.0 makes low 700s and I made low 700 on 6spd. I never dyno'd on the auto swap, but I'm guessing mid 600s is what I probably make. So in theory, the cars are identical besides me having an auto, and you can see that in the video even though he shifts pretty damn good I still pulled away at first due to the auto. Then he evens out at the end

I find this ironic in so many levels.

Keep dreaming. Pretty sure the 5.0 being able to break lose with 15s shows the difference in power and weight between it and the ZL1. Not to mention the ZL1 is already known for being a jokester when it comes to his wins. :lol:

Cool man. Keep the vids comming.

Please point out the irony.

I am not dreaming, you are butter-cup. The video shows how the 5.0 got its shit pushed in on that day, no ifs or buts about it. No matter how much the fanboys want to pretend it didnt happen, fact is it did. No amount of excuses will take away that ass whooping.

Now, does that mean that the 5.0 wont be able to win later on? Of course not.

ZYBORG = One of the most annoying oxygen thieves trolling the forums. Please STFU and kill yourself, thanks.

Im always glad to irritate wrinkly penes such as yourself.

I'm going to assume it would make more psi with the same combo on a stock engine. Things change with heads, intercooler, longtubes, and internals.
