the thing we didn't like was you started just saying it would burn z06s and had all this horsepower. you should know better than anybody that a majority of users here demand some proof. a video or even a dyno printout. you should have gotten all of that with the receipts. those receipts could have been for some other car, or made up ones. even if it's completely stock, aside from exhaust, it's still a nice quick ride that rivals new edge GTs. still a huge jump from a 98 v6.
Yeah, the thing the guy pounded home was that it beat Z06s and 911s and ran like 13s or something.. i was just excited to be getting an 8cyl car like i wanted lol.... Ill see if i can find out more, show Flake and get his take. Maybe go to Kent

Nanaki, anything is a huge jump from a 98 V6. rofl
That's funny: Nanaki - 98 3.8L V6 -> 04 4.6L built GT making over 400 rwhp JT - 98 3.8L V6 -> 95 5.0L GT making 280 rwhp with more to come as soon as I fix some raiator problems, can't wait to get my new toys on, taps foot in frustration xxstallionxx - 98 3.8L V6 -> 94 5.7L with X rwhp

If it runs like 13s or something, that's no ZO6 killer, better be looking at running 12s or better.
Yeah... thats what i thought was fishy.. but was too excited to tell myself otherwise... and i like how u said 94 Camaro X rwhp lol.. at least give me the benefit of the doubt that it has the stock amount of 275.
oh wait.. it says in my Camaro Performers magazine... Eh.. it says that baseline power is 219horses and 254tq... but it doesnt say how they got that number or anything about the cars history..

damn what are you guys talking about. its 1994 its not that old LOL. either way the car looks clean and isnt a POS. now sleeper inc's car is a turd . but even if it doesnt have high numbers 98stal make the bitch fast. my turd was rated at 210hp now shes pushing twice that much. just ignore what people say about your car if you like then it dont matter what they think
yeah, ill probably see what shes really laying down and then go from there... i dont wanna start adding horses if it does actually have 400.. but i dont wanna just walk around not knowing how much it has ne way.
both u guys have nice lookin cars. congrats to both. im waiting to buy my v8 till a little while after the new camaro comes out. i cant wait to see what engine and #s it comes out with...f*ckers gotta keep us waiting. the challenger would be another good v8, its only a year away. damn i cant wait to see all these new cars on the street!

meh.. they may move up to a 5.4 in the next one, but i doubt it'll hit the 400 mark. that's why the mustang rocks. you get a v8 with a little pep for a nice price. when they start throwing bigger numbers at them, the price goes up. cobra, GT500, saleen SC, etc... it only takes a ~$4k blower kit to make them outrun most all other cars on the road anyway.

They did bring the 5.0 back. It's back in the new Boss 302. The new Boss 302 engine is about 2 times better than the older windsor 5.0 like I have. If I can ever afford to do so, I'll buy a new Boss 302 and make the parts swap, add in a 347 stroker, and drop her on in as they can take much more power, and are more efficient at power than the old Windsor.........................now where's that boat load of cash?
Yeah... The good thing about Fords are they are less expensive thats why their so commom, their a great car to start with and build up on. The thing ive heard is that the 5th gen camaro with have an LS3.. good thing about that is its got alot of nice and strong, yet light aluminum parts.
