All this video shows is that it takes a stroker Ford to run with bolt-on & cam LS cars. lol It does seem to run pretty good though.

I agree that winning is winning, however this video is just a bad example for the motor to motor comparison.

If I was to post a video of a 416 stroker vette whooping on a cammed, bolt-on 2 or 3 valve, I'm sure I'd hear how it wasn't a fair comparison.

I'm sure you would too. This is a mustang forum after all haha. But while we're on the subject, you're talking about a 135 cubic inch difference in your imaginary video (416 cu inches vs a 2v/3v's 281 cu inches). This original poster's vid is only a 62 cubic inch or less difference (not sure about what's in the Holden though? Didn't look like an actual race anyway).

A better comparison "from the other side" would be the 416 you mentioned vs. a 363 stang or something

A better comparison would be a 408 Windsor Fox body vs a similarly built 408 LSX Fox body!

Stroker yes,

but how many cubes are the C6 vettes?

Pretty close...... heads up.

LS1 & LS6= 346ci

LS2= 364 ci

LS3=376 ci

Nowhere close to the same cubes. I'm actually glad that the Mustang owner did win those races.

That gal has some lungs!

**PaxtonShelby** · 03-07-2013, 11:28 PM

Damn fast cars...but not a fan of the night racing in traffic like the first bunch...

Keep it safe if you screw around like that.

**cLockWise** · 03-08-2013, 02:51 AM

Good races! Definitely a good comparison video too

**cLockWise** · 03-08-2013, 09:55 AM

408 ftw!

**cemnt guy** · 03-08-2013, 10:07 AM

boosted 393 ftw. just sayin

**95V6** · 03-08-2013, 03:12 PM

Ill stick to racing dump trucks and mini vans.

**Silverhatch** · 03-08-2013, 03:21 PM

Turbo boosted 414w ftw.

**John4cam** · 03-09-2013, 05:38 PM

Best comparison is a 302 vs 305 from the late 80's to early 90's.

**PaceFever79** · 03-09-2013, 05:59 PM

Old Ford small block technology with (let's be generous) 20k in mods

VS

Late model high tech Corvette that costs how much more?

I still think the boy did alright!

This may come as a shock, but some people like to do more than go faster in a straight line with their car. Hell some knuckleheads would even pay more for a stylish new car with current technology verses a creaky old shitbox built on a 30 year old fairmont chassies.

pot consider yourself stirred

You think a 408 SBF Windsor costs 20K to build and make fast??
Or did I read that wrong?

My 20 year old tech is the newest "hot rod" I have ever owned....lol!

My last car was a 64 Fairlane, now that's a "shitbox" as you called it.
My 93 feels "modern", besides, anybody can go buy a floor model.
Push rod engines rule!!!
