Like Josh, I won't sit here and say my V10 does everything better than any other motor. It doesn't. But I won't sit still while people say "it'll go on fire", "sit in the truck lane with my flashers on", or a host of other things that are just untrue.

So you're admitting that you'd chearlead for whatever you're driving right now, just like jac08f250 does?

It's like comparing my 5.4 to Mike's v10. His truck does not have the best gearing or tranny for getting a load moving (as you saw in the videos). I don't think he would have a problem admitting that my truck did better in that situation because my truck has the better gearing/tranny combo. If I ran into Mike on a hill with us already going 25-30 mph, I have no problem admitting that his truck would smoke mine going up the hill because his poor gearing off the line would not be a factor then and his engine is more powerful than mine. Which truck is "better" depends on the situation.

You also said the ANY OTHER GT would be an easy target, didn't you? You seem to like to modify your posts once you sober up. If you're running mid 13's (which you are not, I promise) then you should have no problem beating pretty much ANY stock GT. Street racing against someone for half a block is what idiots do. The offer still stands: come on out here, pick up one of your loud-mouth buddies along the way and we'll see who's got the goods when it comes to real drag racing. Just think of all the glory! You could be showing pictures and videos to all your diesel buddies about how you whipped a gas-burning Mustang! You'll be legendary! I will even back up your story completely as well! Wouldn't that be worth the drive?

There, for the record...V10 vs PSD doesn't exist. Nothing comes CLOSE to the 5.4...with proper atmospheric conditions, proper gearing (for the hill you're looking at) proper octane, proper load, and your very own video camera without having me in sight wanting to blow your ****ing doors off you oh-so-badly....

You're not going to burn an exhaust valve with broken manifold bolts. The engine would likely be fine for the rest of its life too with broken bolts but you'd have to deal with the annoying sound it makes.

Nowhere in any of my posts have I said the 5.4 is the best engine on the planet. What I have said is that with the right gearing you can get a 5.4 to out pull a better engine with the wrong gearing. Will a 5.4 with an automatic and 3.73 gear get a load moving as easily as a 7.3 with an automatic and 3.73 gear? Not even close. But will my 5.4 with a manual and 4.10 get a load moving better than a 7.3 with an automatic and 3.73 gear? All day long. Of course you didn't. I declared it the winner.
See, I am not like you and think that my truck is an extension of my manhood. I have no problem admitting that your truck would out pull mine.
