god, every day the engineer in my says the LS and new LT1 engines are better. and they are, esp when you start looking at packaging. the LS and LT1 are simply brilliant.
but every single time, the ford v8 sounds just so much better. i'd be on my way to buy a 1LE, and every time end up with a mustang. because jesus, the rasp. an engine shouldn't rumble, or be deep and loping. anyone who thinks that is a fucking idiot. an engine should sound like a drill bit piercing your skull, driving you mad. it should both be uncomfortable, and the best sensation to run it to red line. and the ford v8s always have been better than the chevy for that.
i wish ford made a real sports car, and put that engine in it.
