and not to leave the Fox body guys out:
A. Headers
B. Off-road H-pipe
C. Flowmasters(they are the Mustang standard )
D. K&N open element filter
E. 3.90 gears
F. Trick flow or GT-40 intake
G. Drag radials with "skinny" fronts from Pep boys
H. Any "monster tach" mounted on the dash with the shift light of doom

 

Damn I'm such a *****

I got a 91 LX only change in that list would be 4.11 gears, Victor 5.0 EFI intake, Dr-Gas X-pipe, and dynomax race bullets, but in my defense I gotta say a set of 165R15's from pep boys goes really well with a set of 275/50R15 drag radials.

 

around by me, it's the law for 5.0s my girl is a Mustang junkie and that's her list for must haves

 

I really love the stuff out for the 05's and none of it's too gaudy. APC is now releasing some stuff for it though...so it's only a matter of time before there will be riced out V6 new Mustangs on the streets. Here are some somewhat dated shots of my Mustang. It's got the Street Scene kit on it and a ducktail spoiler. It's really clean and the kit looks like it could be a Ford-designed kit (and actually kind of is.)

Here are some pics (the wheels and hood have changed, it's supercharged, and I just this evening put new wheels and tires on it...)

NICE 05 Kris!
I got tired of flowmasters on everything, especially everything with a 5.0, going dynomax myself
but yeah, other than that the list is absolutely correct for the 5.0 crowd

 

Nice looking Mus Kris. Im also a big fan of the huge aftermarket the 05's have for them right now. I really dig some of the body kits available for the new Mustang. They're not gaudy or over the top, alot of them are just clean designs that REALLY make the car look more aggressive. Hopefully the 5th gen gets this kind of aftermarket treatment when it comes out.

Also for the Camaro has to be faster than the Stang guys, keep in mind that any new Camaro isnt gonna be competing with 05 Mustang numbers, by the time it comes out the GT is gonna have more hp and there are gonna be other higher hp special models out by then. Hell I'd be happy if the Camaro team can just give us a superb car in all areas and just be around the hp levels of some of these future higher end Mustangs.

 

here we go again..

 

if tradition sticks and we get the base Vette's motor, then we already won the HP war by a mile. Now they just need to focus on the rest.

 

Chevy will win. And it will be good. Very good.

Until then I'll enjoy my 500hp 05 Mustang.

If GM does the Camaro right, you can bet your *** that I'll be in line for one.

It's not even close to the neighborhood of the 5.0 Mustang, sorry.

 

If you are comparing it against the Cobra you lose by a mile, not to mention there are other Mustangs coming, and a redesign should be out for the Mustang a year or two after the Camaro finally shows up. Your best bet is to hope that the base Vette gets at least a 450 hp engine in it's future.

 

I think he's talking base v8's....bread and butter z28 vs GT. In which case, i'd give the nod to the Z if it does get an Ls2 standard which i'd think it would.

Imo, the top of the line GT500 (unless GM gets serious about a truly high-end camaro) will be in a class of its own with no real competition. We'd be talking 450-500 horses.

So i expect GM to win the hp war in the bread and butter models (which matter the most really), with the Mustang GT500 taking top honers (unless GM is upto the challenge).

Hard to tell at this point since there is NO camaro.

 

I am still willing to bet that pricepoint for pricepoint, the Camaro will mop up with the Mustang. We have been told time and time again on here that Chevy has every intention of competing with the new Mustang on every level, so I worry little about the power issue.

 

That's what I've been saying all along. It'd be cool if they did a 45k LS7 ZL1 Camaro or something, but it would never happen. Blame the Corvette.
