    Once I finish putting my turbo kit on my L59 truck, anything less than an LS or BBC car will not stand a chance...

    I only go this route because I can't fit in a Viper/Z06/Ferrari, or any other true sports car for that matter.
    If you really are that big....Damn. we had guys 6'4 fitting in z06's with helmets. Vipers will handle around 6'7 with lowered seats.

    My headaches are all caused by me and the mods I've done, the car has been great. The whole generation of 05-09 is garbage. Plauged with issues, and weak power plants.

    Damn. One of my dream cars.

    I also STILL have a spreadsheet saved on my computer with a complete S14 w/RB25DET build that I planned out 8 or 9 years ago. I'll be damned if I don't get it done someday. I still think the Kouki is a damn good looking car.

    9.89 @ 146.2 753hp 912ftlbs at the wheels on the juice with tune. and my srt8 is a 300c loaded, so for a 4 door sedan that weighs 4500lbs ill take it and smile,lol.

    Dyno sheet? Time Slip? Video? I gotta see this launch on street tires that netted a 9 sec pass. I know how hard it is to get a street car to hook, I have to see this. Kind of hard to believe. My car trapped 135 on the spray so I know what lack of traction is all about. I had wrinkle wall M/T's with 1.5 60 foots and still only went 10's.

    *Nm, I see he's banned.*

    here is my dyno sheet. Very lightly modded and this is what it out down.

    All the problems with my 2006 caused me to rule out the new 5.0 and for the most part Ford products. Three out of the four Fords I owned in my lifetime were unreliable to the point where I ended up investing in a AAA membership. The only one that didn't give me problems was my 2000 F150 Extended cab 2wd with a 5.4. So either there is truth to the rumor that Ford builds their trucks better than their cars, or I just was extremely unlucky with my 1981 Crown Vic, 1996 Thunderbird, and 2006 Mustang GT.

    My fords, except for the junk automatic transmissions they used, have all been G2G. My Dad drove nothing but Ford for the last 20 years until around 2000. He would get about 250K miles, on average, out of them, and replaced them once every 2-3 years (not counting junk transmission Ford used). This just goes to show how small sample-sizes (1 person) are irrelevant, I guess.

    The Coyote is a helluva engine, BTW.

    6'8" and size 17 wide shoes. If I can get them to the pedals on most cars I wind up pushing the gas and the brake at them same time!
