So its pretty much a sleeper. except most people know that 5.0's can move pretty fast stock...(I think).

Yeah, a stock 5.0 is fairly fast but a stock WRX is just as fast, if not quicker off the line cause of the AWD. And a stock WRX definitely out-handles and out-brakes a stock 5.0, especially the older pre-94' fox-chassis 5.0s. Guys with those usually just drag race them, they don't worry about turning or stopping. The 94' and up cars were definitely an improvement, they have a stiffer chassis and better brakes, but still not anything to be excited about. That's why most of my heavy modifications have been to the chassis/suspension and brakes on my car, cause I like to autocross. The power upgrades I've done at a much slower pace, cause it already had a fairly good engine... down here at sea level at least, up there in Reno/Tahoe it's definitely starved for air. And no Scott, I can't go forced induction, that would kick me out of street modified class.

I want that engine. Just to sit in my room or something....its so beautiful.
I, hopefully, in about a year or so would like to get into a 1987 or so Grand National. I want a boxy lookin sleeper car also. Plus they were pretty fast stock. ![]() (I have too big of a want list....but hopefully this 'want' will come true) |

I am not sure, but most grand nationals if not al of them were turbo. If that is just a regal, then it may not be.

Lol "marine applications"... yeah a racing boat, those ones you hear out on the lake at full throttle BWWAHHHHHAAAHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHHHAAAAAHHH. But a carburetor... no. I wouldn't give up fuel injection for that hassle. Second, that thing probably weighs half of what my car does all by itself and I doubt it would fit in my engine bay. Third, I have to keep my original block to stay legal for street mod... but, the displacement limit for N/A cars in SM is 6.0L, so a stroker would work just fine.

I was reading on Stangnet that somebody with a late 80s Grand National turbo had gotten his up to like 600hp or something ridiculous. I still think they should have put a big V-8 in there like the NASCAR Grand National cars had though.

"Whaaa whaaa whaaa, blah blah blah... I'm a pussy, I don't want 500+hp cuz of a carburator... I have to stay legal... whaa whaa whaa... boats are cool... blah blah blah..." ![]() BTW: there's a 600hp version of that motor too... Oh, and that new high-tech 5.0 cammer motor rocks! 400hp, 32v DOHC EFI modular V8... it was the motor for the current cobra before they decided to go forced-induction.

![]() NSX, yes... Ferrari, no (it's an MR2). The Ferrari is parked in the executive parking lot in the front of the building (550 Maranello, owned by the VP of my dept.... he's also got a Viper, PT Cruiser, and I think the GT-40 replica is his... ![]() Someday, I'll put up a "Cars of IGT" page... I got like 100 pictures of the sweet rides from our parking lot! Vettes, a sick RX7, Lotus Esprit (1984 yo!), like 5 WRXs, M3's... and so on, and so on...

Damn.....In my parking lot, there is a BMW Z3, and sometimes this guy brings his awsome 3000GT all modded out. Occasionally a few old BMW's and Mercedes. Thats it.

Yeah, if I ever changed the engine block in my car that 5.0 Cammer is the one that I would want.. even if it is like a $10000 engine. I'd just have to eat Ramen for a few years. Aluminum block, N/A 5.0L, 32-valve DOHC V-8, 430hp @6700RPM... how nucking futs is that, I can't even imagine how much fun that thing would be.
Here's a link so everyone can drool. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthrea...hreadid=236891

I just orderd some new AXXIS brake pads and some SS brake lines trying to get ready for the autox season. Next I think I am getting a Vishnu intercooler hose kit, Perrin fuel rails with SX FPR then a set of GC06D wheels and I am set.
