when you can do this on dry pavement....then talk to me...especially at the strip on sticky track
here's the mav with fresh paint before any motor work

Want a trophy? I'm quite happy with what I have, considering I paid $2000 for it. Not everyone has money to waste on old relics. I DD my car.

My car is 277 pounds of torque stock , which is decent.

the 5,4 is a niice motor, little pricey, you could spend the same thing and build a strong 4.6

Methinks you're forgetting weight of the driver and any extra equipment, I.E. subs (if you got em), or anything else.

Its just a thought, right now I am content with my motor. They do well.

thats not too bad, you should see around 100 lb/ft of torque to the wheels with a 100 shot, torque numbers always eclipse hp on the bottle.

No system, components, and a small amp. The car is heavy, but like i mentioned it is pretty impressive once it gets moving. Raced my budies g35 coupe from a slight roll , which him punching the gas before I did, and my front bumper was right against his back bumper. He won, but Very tight race. Dont under estimate it. Now off the line I need work.

Yeah, the car really sucks off the line. About a month ago, we crossed into Mississippi to do a little racing, when the local PD showed up. They were cool with it, and just told us to keep it safe and be courteous to other drivers. Then before they left, one of em asked if anyone wanted to race the interceptor... everyone was all silent, so I just got in my car (mostly stock at the time), and lined up. Off the line my car got maybe 2-3 lengths on him, but around 80mph he started eating that gap pretty fast. Was kinda neat to see what my car does against an interceptor.

Those intercepters are loaded down with tons of weight too. But yea from 70+ on the car is a beast. They just need to start from a roll, or need some work to get them off the line. They shine in the highway/ from a roll.

I am limited to a measly 110 right now, but when my tune comes in, that will be taken off. Here is the custom tune Im getting. Pricey, but you are able to hold 3 different tunes on the programer. The spec sheet is at the very bottom of the page.
