Those launches make Baby Dragster Jesus cry. Most of those owners should sell their cars and apologize to the manufacturer for buying them in the first place... then take the proceeds and buy a minivan.

Pure drag radials are not legal on the street. And do you know why I have them? Because with the extra HP, I don't get left "wondering just what happened" at the stop light. Nor do I "blow the tires off trying", like the guys you seem to be used to.
I'm going to recap what I have been saying. First your supercharged mustang on drag radials is not the normal stang. BUT....if you don't believe a tuned Ecoboost can't beat the average stock/stock tired 5.0 stang your wrong.....you have to admit most 5.0 drivers cannot drive their cars to it's potential. Launching a boosted AWD truck (brake boosting) is a no brainer and can be done over and over without any spinning. That is all I was saying.

Yes, I agree you can launch better 4x4 or 4-auto than the average 5.0 mustang driver! And you can beat drivers that can't drive to their full potential! Hope that helps!

Cry if you must. Say what you want. The mustang is definitely faster but it takes a driver and most are not...and lol on them not knowing they are racing.
I LOL also when he posted those guys didn't know you were racing when they were at the Race Track!!!

Well, that's new. Somebody posts a question about the 5.0 and EB owners come running to make sure everyone knows how much better they think their choice was. I certainly hope this doesn't become a trend...

Do you smell that? Smells like bovine...
I have a blown Mustang too with stock tires up front, Nitto 555 sticky tires on the back, suspension mods, exhaust mods, heat extractor hood, and I have never been down the track either.

Oh, and I changed the oil last week. In 14+ months I put exactly 242 miles on it.

You can name these engines whatever the hell you want...doesn't make either one of them any better than the other.

And by the looks and sounds of both, neither one has anything to be proud of!
