I hardly believe that a stock 4.9 deville or even a seville could beat a stock stang off the line. The stang has more hp, more torque, more displacement, and less weight. Need I say more? |
Picking on 5.0 Mustangs is not that difficult in a 4.9 DeVille. Picking on 4.6 Mustangs is not that difficult in my DeVille. Picking on pre-96 Cobras is not that hard in my DeVille. Specifications racing never tells the whole story.
You guys who doubt the 4.9 are, apparently, looking for dumb stuff like ceramic plating your throttle body and intake manifold. Do you actually buy that crap? That idea came from the same guy who said a 300hp 4.9 would be "still pretty slow" - Last I checked there was a 300hp 4.9 Fiero doing 12's. Guess that's "pretty slow" to a guy with 500-600lbs of hydraulic and stereo equipment thrown into his car, who is obviously EXTREMELY qualified to comment on performance for the 4.9, especially since he's admitted his engine build is strictly for cosmetics.
Stop buying into silly hype and start reading illumina's posts. Don't read mine because I'll tell you to do dumb shit like rip nearly 500lbs of weight off your 91 Cadillac DeVille and get sponsorships for racing.
