WTH???...Hell is freezing over..... I would have thought Duane would have bought one with air conditioning and a radio I wonder if you can get a new block for those?

He told me he drove the Camaro and the Challenger too but liked the Mustang the best, plus they give them away at 0% so he bought one. Not sure what year but it's the coyote 5.0.

12s out of the box, 10s with a single bolt on- blower kit. Plus they handle well, and weigh less than either option. Plus the new 5.2 motor puts out over 100 hp per LITER, 8250 red line for a stock motor. Pretty impressive stuff. I love the old Mopars, and am building a Gen 3 Hemi, but I want a 2016 Mustang GT 350 pretty badly!

So much support for those cars its almost saddening compared to new Mopars. Glad the Hellcat exists but it has no support other than warranty.
Mopar to the bone!!!

I bought a 2014 gt at the end of production. I found a base car with auto and rear window defogger. It's run 8.30 in less than perfect weather. 85 mph so a converter and drag radials will put it in the 7.80 or so in less than perfect weather. Lots of fun. Can't believe Dwayne fell for the cold air. I believe I can keep mine looking completely stock and run 7.40's.

It's a shame he and some others don't post anymore. He's one of the best guys to deal with and one of the smartest when it comes to this stuff. I am a little surprised he bought a mustang, but I don't blame him.

Dwayne may be like me. I buy engines the car that they are in is secondary. But the mustangs case it is a nice foundation that lends it's self to both street and strip driving. I drove a challenger rt before I made my decision. Nice car but not as fun to drive as the mustang or as fast. The mustang is srt fast at $26 and change for the end of the year deal on my car.

I was always fascinated by High RPM 4 valve 4 cylinder motorcycle engines and always wished there was an affordable domestic V8 that used that same technology. The physical size and weight (not to mention complexity) of this FoMoCo masterpiece (to me) somewhat offsets much of its technical brilliance....but having seen one apart over at Hollis's, it's truly an amazing engine. At first glance, the valve and spring sizes will remind you more of Briggs and Stratton than 500+ hp car motor...but....
Like Danny, my fascination is in the engine technology and the mfg is purely a secondary consideration at this stage of my life, I refuse to limit my learning by limiting myself simply to brand loyalty. I can like many brands, but I can like some more, the one that drew me to begin with....even if at this point it's more sentimental and emotional, which at the core is the basis for most people in this hobby to begin with.
