[QUOTE="zane, post: 538785, member: 540617"] Stang. In a heartbeat! Mabey it would be different if I didn't know of at least 8 89 - 03 stangs in my area that are running in the 8's and are 100% street legal. 5.0, MPFI, Edelbrock, B&M, and Procharger, seem to have a ton to do with this on most of those cars. Not only that, but I have owned 7 Fox Chasis Ford vehicles (currently still own 2) and would trust their overall reliability and construction far over many other cars, including the Supra. The Fox's were plain built d*mn well OEM. I'm not a hardcore Mustang Fan either; as I would prefer Fox Tbirds, Cougars, and Mark VII's. On the other hand, I do really like the look of the Supra; but without the body kit crap. I kinda agree with Josh on this particular car, the body kits just screw up some good factory lines. In reality though, you are comparing the reliability of a 3.0L Toyota to that of a 5.0L Ford. Personally, that alone would be enough for me to go with the 5.0L without a second thought. The 5.0 was pretty much hands down the best/most popular engine that Ford built. I've known of several issues with the 3.0L where they actually had a lack of power. - Yeah, imagine that. Not to mention, the 5.0's tend to be a world easier to work on than the 3.0. So yeah, the Mustang it is for me. Just personal preference...... [/QUOTE]
