so do you think i can take him .

Ouch. I've seen that they are having a lot of problems with the 6MT but not the actual coyote itself.

Bummer on that .

[DETROITMUSCLE]

the point is they have already broke that barrier and the motor just came out. back in 98-99 making 400rwhp with an LS motor was crazy. The LS3 doesn't really compare, they have had the LS series for much longer and how many more cubes are they than a 5.0 coyote? you post about guys making 1200rwhp with TPI cars has nothing to do with this debate.

You are rite that was a bit over kill it was turbo charged also . I see the cubeic inch thing as well . They did well on that moter . But that engine make more power than they said I mean Damn they make 375/380 rwhp and the car is pretty lite at that power level out of the box its not hard to get 500 with cams and head work and headers and exhaust and good tuning.

[97firehawk]

And if you read my other post the reason that these guys are going so fast is becouse ford and the aftermarket comanys are makeing performance parts before the cars are comeing out and they already have tunning for them as well all about the tecnoligy that we have today and when a auto manufactur. Gets that invalved it helps

I laugh at Ford. Ford has to build a DOHC engine to compete with GM OHV engines. The LT5 made what 405 hp in 93 - 95. A 03 - 04 Cobra supercharger DOHC 4.6 Mod motor made like 430 hp roughly. Yes the LT5 has 61 more cubes going for it but the 4.6 DOHC is supercharged and was developed 10 years later. Even compare a LS1 to a 4.6 DOHC. LS1 = 345hp 4.6 DOHC = at most (excluding the Cobra) 320hp. Chevy can build motors. My LT1 gets better gas mileage then my buddys 4.6 SOHC did. Go CHEVY!

Can't really compare a LT5 to the cobra - the lt5 was rated under the old system, and the cobra the new system. Both cars perform about the same in the quarter 112mph+/- a few and the vette is an ass ton lighter. The lt5 is also a lotus design, manufactured by mercruiser marine, not a gm piece.

The coyote engine is a nice piece - ford finally nailed it, and most f-body owners should be aware of it's potential, as it'll destroy a lot of modded lt/ls cars - stock.

[97firehawk]

The engine seems to perform well but just like any car or engine they can't beat us all so I say bring it game on. No worries here . A race is a race.

[Fox Slaughter]

Right on the Lotus design but the part about it destroying the cars stock thats because its a 2011 design vs a design from the early and mid 90s.

There is a kind of smoothness that comes with a DOHC motor.

Ben's '10 GT with 4.6 is a seriously fast car, it can also be driven very quietly and normal.
IMO GM motors are much more raw and explosive.
