    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.

    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.

    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!

    I actually thought I read "C6 Z06" and I was wondering why the vettes were getting smoked. bolt on 427 vs built 408 would be more realistic. :o

    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.
