thinking about buying a 200 mustang or a 2000 camaro, im a ford guy having a hard time deciding wat to get? ive have heard the 4.6l is realy weak. i need some good reasons, like wich would be easier to work on?

I was thinking about getting me a mustang for my next sport. I want to spend 5-10k maybe more if it somthing i really like. Im not realy sure if i want to go 5.0 or 4.6. are the 4.6 a little weak, it seems like a lot of people are putting engine in there 4.6 at 100k or so. more hp the better. I like both body styles

thinking about getting a 4.6, are there any issues that i should know about? Like too much body flex, runing hot or ????

get on aim and hit me at svt4u2try and i will go over the facts with you, and not someones opinion on here.
I have had both cars and getting another LS1 with my Cobra, and found a few for a decent price now that they are dropping in price.

Come on people, lets stop comparing magazine times as all those times suck for those cars and we have seen people pull better times.
I have seen low 13 second stock LS1's and Mach 1's and 13.8 bone stock GT's

I am going on averages here.

Plain and simple LS1's tend to run low 13's as do Mach Ones and 99+ GT run 13.8's. Yes the DA and other factors can affect the timers, but lets be realistic here.

One thing we all have to keep in mind is the biggest mod of all. The "driver mod". The LS1 can run crap times if driven by someone who doesn't know how to drive, same with a GT or any other car. I am sure my 13.8 bone stock can be ran faster if by a better driver. I also have seen some 14 second 96-98 Cobras. Just like when I ran our 00 Z/28 to a 13.4 stock. I am sure some can run faster and slower.
