WTF are you talking about dude? An intake manifold IS a bolton. So the notch automatically will win against this golden 06 GT? Hell I think it should be a good race, power vs weight difference. I could always be a d@ck and set the 06 GT up with a gaggle of faster cars but I like interesting races.
An intake manifold
is not a bolt-on. I guess heads are, I guess a cam is, I guess a stroker is because you bolt down the rods
...
Who said the 06 is golden? I was looking back in my readings and didn't see it...
Well you could do that, but I'm sure the 06 owner will know what he is up against. So your point is void...
[/QUOTE]Who gives a damn about stock for stock? I mean you post this fuggin reminder that a car that is 13 years newer is faster. Well I hope so, considering cars should have gotten faster in the last 20 years, oh wait thats right they are just now actually getting FASTER in the baseline V8 car models, because they took a huge step backwards with the first 4.6 stuff.
I dont care about stock for stock in this case, it's obvious who SHOULD win, so throw in some simple mods and see who wins. I dont care if an 06 GT could runs 8's in the 1/4 with a filter, thats NOT the race that is happening with people I know. [/QUOTE]
Actually, they don't just get faster, they handle better, brake better, ride better, get better gas mileage, sound systems, comfort, etc...all increase. Looks by the general public increase...but to enthusiast like me and you, we see something different in the foxbody.
I know the point you were trying to make with the title of the thread. I just figured I'd point it out for those not in the know...
