2011 Ford Mustang GT: First Burnout of the 5.0

Recommended Posts

I love the early Camaros and have grown to really like the new ones...but I have to admit, I am a Mustang lover too! I heard the 5.0 is back and I'd love to drive one! I bought a brand new GT right off the truck in 1988 and I loved that car! My little project right now is a 90 LX with the 5.0 in it...and damn that thing likes to go!

I always wanted a '90 or '91 LX 5.0... maybe one day as a fixer upper...

My uncle had an '89 GT that he let me borrow for a weekend one time when I was 17, (no, I don't know why he was so stupid)... needless to say that was a fun weekend. I had it up to 135 in 4th gear when I backed off it not wanting to crash.

funny...hmm...maybe I am your uncle? no...mine was a 88 and I never let anyone drive it!

I do remember, back in 88 only the GT and the Vet were the only two mainstream vehicles with 16" rubber on them. I quickly found out, after melting the first set off....them things were fuggen expensive!!!!

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
