Heres the short of a long story. First car 67 Cougar. 2nd car 72 GTO. Fords and Pontiacs are what I own build race and drive. I dont mix them, and I hate people who put chevy's in anything, even a chevy. There are much better engines out there. Imports are annoying, and the best way to shut up a kid who talks about how fast a Honda is going is to ask what his runs. Still have the Cougar, and a 71 Mach 1 with a 351 C 4V C6. Also a 70 GTO and 79 Formula that does run pretty well. None of them are remotely close to stock. Used to own a shop, quit because I got tired of chasing people down to get paid. I would rather build hotrods for close friends and help people online to go faster. 5.0's are fun to work on. Built quite a few with paxtons and vortechs. Still I seem to be able to make a Pontiac 455 run harder cheaper. Bigger engine. I am not a kid, and probably wont flame anyone, but if you are full of fecees, I will probably add something to that effect. Just so you know, im not a backyard or shadetree mechanic. Done the school thing almost to a mech engineering degree. Im still learning the 4.6, and even the LS1. If its fast I like it.
14.00 and slower is not fast. But cars can be built and modified to run better, thats the beauty of it. Dont ya hate park bench wings and fart cans? I like a 5.0 with flowcans on it.... sounds nice.
