07 Blown Mustang GT vs Stock 2011 Mustang 5.0

Pointless run, but once the 5.0 gets some mods it will get more interesting. Ford made a helluva car with the 2011, I love it. But I still like my 07!

If you guys want to go fast, why are you spend $30,000+ on cars that cost another couple grand to mod? You can get a solid fox for $3,000 on CL and put the ON3 turbo kit on it for $1,500 (ebay) plus another $500 for the supporting stuff and have a car fast enough to blow the doors off the blue '07 for a total of 5 grand... That way you won't look stupid when the 800 dollar car next to you keeps up with your 40 grand. Old 5.0L (stock) + ON3 kit on 10 lbs made 499 at the tires on pump gas.

@gtdrummerdude Maybe I want a FUN, reliable, good looking and handling car with everything working (windows, weather striping, good stereo, no previous owners, no rust, no squeaks or rattles, no paint or body work needed and ect). and be able to drive across the country. Fox's are not ideal to me being a daily driver. To small and old. Most are falling apart and constantly need fixing. Dont get me wrong, I totally get what you are saying, especially for a project car that wont be driven daily.

@Spike10101 I just bought a '92 convertible for $2,600 that runs and drives perfectly, suspension and brakes are VERY tight, no rattles or squeeks, quiet and reliable, quick as a stock S197, good steareo, good weatherstripping, power front and rear windows, power top, power seats, power steering, very cold a/c, doesn't need paint or body work and has no rust. And I know it would outhandle a newer mustang, it doesn't have a lick of body roll and it weighs 3260 lbs.

@gtdrummerdude Congrats on the steal, sounds nice! I personally don't like the way fox's ride/handle/brake/feel. They have no turning radius either. I have owned two. the chassis is over 30 years old and it shows. It must not be stock if it can out handle a S197. Have you ever driven a S197? especially a 2011? These car are leaps and bounds better than a fox in nearly every way. I won't even touch the comfort department. My 07 is paid off, runs high 10's, fun and comfortable as hell to drive. :)

0:25 are those camaro ss wheels on a mustang? smh

[Spike10101]

@Antraxx247 Def not, Sport edition KV5's from tirerack which have been on my car since 08 (years before the camaro returned).

What was that? A mustang taking a corner while accelerating! Omg hell must have froze over. Hate that arguement!

[gtdrummerdude]

@TheMarineJRM Most Mustang enthusiasts like foxes. And actually a good fox drives just as nicely as an S197 and should be just as reliable, except when something DOES need repair you can pretty much do it yourself for $40 on a fox. An S197 would be a few hundred at a dealer. Pushrod motors are just as reliable and strong as OHC. And I can buy an aftermarket Dart block, heads, cam, full aftermarket 331 rotating assembly etc for under 5k....

@gtdrummerdude Dude the Fox bodies look like a shoe box with wheels. The S197's are the way to go for something more modern and reliable. The Push rod 302 with as much boost as you are talking about will hold up how long? After you rebuild that engine to hold that kind of boost you bought yourself a nice S197 with more potential.
