I get where your going with this 427, but i am still thinking about the motor that was actually in the Boss, which is the 429. But that 427 is a kick a$$ motor, ****.Originally posted by mykeys Tommy I am sorry.. I was feeling a little grumpy this morning.. It didn't occur to me till a few hours later that you were being skeptical rather than argumentative.
Any way I did a search to show you what I am talking about.. It seems my numbers are off but not by a lot.

alright, i don't mean to get in an arguement here, but come on. the difference in the quarter mile between a mustang and a supra are very small. what, 13.8 for a supra, 14.1 for a stang? yeah, real bad there. and really now, don't ya think that if somebody is smart enough to put in a 700-1000hp engine that they're going to drop the rear-end and put in a spool or a locker or something? what's the point in an 8 sec capable engine if your going to use the factory rear-end? also, i'm a 5.0 guy, i own an 88 gt. not the fastest car in the world, especially since it was abused. and obviously the stock 4.6L block can't take 1000hp, hell, the stock 5.0 can't take that. i'd be amazed to see the stock engine handle 500hp. but you do have to admit, there are advantages to having 32 valves instead of 16. anyways, you said you can provide solid proof that the supra's stock engine and suspension can handle 700-800hp all day long. well, i'm calling you out. PROVE IT!!!! also, don't take this personal, i just like to argue. oh, and i figure i'll put in my own personal oppinion, i'd take the mustang, so much easier to work on. my god, they mass produce the parts like every car is a stang. you want a cold air kit for a supra, it's like what, $300-350? mustang, $120-$150. plus i like american muscle more than japanese RPM pushers.Originally posted by Zylo I don't want to get into an argument over cars, but I still would rather have the Supra over a mustang. Supras ARE bad off the line. Why? Because of the frickin' huge turbos people run. 700-1000 HP is gonna get you nothing but wheelspin, especially on an IRS suspension w/o Anti-Squat.
The motors are fine. It's traction that makes the Supra so slow.
I don't like the new Cobra's. I am a 5.0L man, that is why I own a 90 GT. And I know **** well that the 4.6L block is not gonna take 1000HP. Maybe a DSS Cobra Pro Mod Block and a billet crank and forged pistons and rods, but the stock engine would be lucky to hold up to 600 RWHP (650-680 crank)
I can provide solid proof that the Supra's inline-6 (and drivetrain and suspension) can handle 700-800 HP all day long. Can you do the same for the Mustang?? Rules are: Stock block, innards, head.
Don't get me wrong, Cobra's are bad-ass cars, but not God's greatest gift to man. Learn to respect all cars, and peoples taste in cars //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif The world will be a better place.
Now wait -- you say traction is the problem.. How is that any different from what the 03 Cobra would suffer from? Yes, the 03 has IRS, but so far is handling the ~700hp that NitrousPete (see above link) is running through it. A lot of the high-power Supras are running Ford 9" rears.I don't want to get into an argument over cars, but I still would rather have the Supra over a mustang. Supras ARE bad off the line. Why?
