Man...are you frickin' kidding me? I'm not calling you a liar by any means, but a Pusstang? I smoked so many Pusstangs in my 96 MTX SE that there is NO WAY you should be even close to one in your SVT. Did they have any mods on that Pusstang? Pusstangs are not fast at all! That's why I call them Pusstangs. I also ran pretty even with a Camaro RS v6 in my SE. But I smoked the Pusstangs. C'mon man your depressing me. I don't wanna hear that mess ever again. I would love to meet a Pusstang at a light with my SVT.( I mean track.. Yeah this has all happened at the track  ) Seriously I'm gonna lose my lunch.

I know it's enough to pull or at the least stay even with the 00 stang if we're both already rolling. whether you believe it or not, doesn't matter but u'r welcomed to come visit this summer.
I don't believe you!   
I doubt that you could keep up with the new Stang, especially if its manual. Your Zetec makes 121hp, the Stang got 190hp @ the crank....at least 40hp more at the wheels.....and I didn't even mention the tq difference....hmmmmmm
Well it happened...maybe the guy didn't know how to drive his ATX. I have beaten v6 Camaros and Firbirds too...I can't explain it but it happened.

It's the truth. Stock 2001 v6 MTX is what it was. I drove it many times too and it was nowhere near as smooth as a CSVT and it didn't feel more powerfull. Tranny felt all-right but the car couldn't handle anywhere close to the CSVT either. Anyway, stock 2001 and it would hang very close through 3rd gear, I was winning by 100 (at the track of course) but it wasn't the azz whooping I hoped it would be.
I don't know how you could possibly be so much faster than my car was at that time. It was stock then, not modded but so was the mustang. The pre 2000 v6 stangs sucked really bad, I would destroy them all the time, but the later ones are greatly improved. I think those are the "pusstangs" you're talking about.

2001 stangs have bit more power than 2000 stangs and more than 2002+ stangs, not sure why ford did it but they do. And i've seen 00 w/ drop-in k&n vs. 01 and the 01 wins so that power does make a difference. and hector you've beaten v6 mustangs and camaros because they're slow, and if you mean off the track then it makes more sense. the ones you've beaten on track probably just don't launch good (even in ATX) and then you can kill them once you get going.

So you're saying that I need to watch out for the '01 pusstang? I hope they're labeled, I would lose sleep if one took me by surprise. LOL I wasn't implying that my SE is faster than your SVT was at the time. I must have encountered the "original" pusstangs. It seems weird to me though...some cars of a certain year and model are faster/slower than others of the same year and model. For instance... a guy in highschool had a 90 5.0 ATX stang that was insanely fast for some reason. No mods, just friggin fast. Another guy had the same year 5.0 also in ATX, and was kinda slow.

Oh They will get me off the line ALWAYS but I reel them in right away.  I mean a ATX v6 Stang (a newer one) only beat me by a car to car and half....with exhaust.

i believe there were 2 versions of the 5.0Ls... i know a guy that dropped a 5L into a newer model stang, it is about even with a sentra se-r spec-v, so not all that fast, but the car had been in a wreck so insurance was paying for all his engine work and an awesome paint job. as far as i know, 01 stangs have molding (ding guards like us) on the doors and other model stangs don't,,, i could be wrong, but my friend's 01 has the ding guards.

the only way in hell a 5.0 mustang will be even with an ser spec v,is either driver error on your friends part,or they installed a NON HO 5.0 motor built in the early 80's...
you are correct in that there are 2 different versions of the 5.0 motor...the HO(high output) which came in the mustang,and the non HO which came in select passenger cars...the HO mustang motor from 87 to 93 produces 225 horsepower,and 300 lb. ft. of torque...and the 94-95 HO motor made 215 hp and 285 lb. ft.....if either of those motors were installed in your friends car than it should be pretty fast...the non HO motor may be not so fast in a pretty heavy car,such as his...
also it depends on the year of the engine...just because it is a 5.0 motor,doesn't necessarily mean it makes alot of hp...for instance the 82 HO motor only put out about 157 hp,and the 84 about 175....and the non HO's of those years were even less than that...so it is likely that the motor in your friends car could be an older style block and heads....

no idea on the year of the engine. he had problems with it at first and being that albany,GA isn't exactly a tuner's paradise, it could have a lot power left in it, but just might not be setup right. anyways the car looks real good, sounds real good, and is decently fast.
