Mustangers talking about RL's

http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...d.php?t=195690

Hi i'm new and own a 05 RL and I love it. I've been on this site and decided to sign up and my friend showed me this today so I decided to start this off as my first post.

when will some people learn that we are all car guys/gals..... no matter what we freakin' drive. rice, barley(euro), or apple pie(domestic). we all like the same fuckin' thing 4 wheels and a motor.... and of course whatever we want to put on the car to make it faster or look better. sorry about the rant, but i'm about fucking sick of it. i've owned damn near any car you could imagine(within in a sane price range) i even traded my 99 mustang gt in on my 05 RL and the 99 was modded. hell the 99 was my 3rd mustang. and the RL is my 3rd saturn.

Ehhh (not canadian), they're entitled to their opinion. I've never been a big fan of Mustangs myself. I think they over-retro-ed their latest attempt. I think its kind of pathetic that Ford's attempt at a performance V-8 had to be supercharged in order for them to compete with OTHER V8s from Chrysler and GM. I've always found the drivers of Mustangs on the road to be somewhat arrogant and cocky which I think is typical of many sports car drivers but usually ones with faster cars. I think what it comes down to is us getting the after-market to prove to mustang owners and other naysayers what the Red Line is capable of.

Ford chose to do that its not like their power freaks well a little even though the 03/04 Cobras are underrated in HP and the new Lightning is said to have 500RWHP and 500RWT. Let's take the 00 Cobra R for instance. Its 5.4L pumping out 385RWHP N/A and can prob beat a Z06 by the way it performs. The 05 S281 Saleen comes stock 400RWHP and 420RWT and thats the N/A version and the 99-04 Saleen S281 N/A * S281 E is the supercharged version* came with 400 also.

They Run 12.9 @ 113 STOCK with a good driver 0-60mph in 4.5 secs 0-100mph in 10.5 secs with the top speed of 175mph

Supporting mods such as pullies etc etc. Thats what I meant.
How is a pulley a "supporting mod" to a "maxed out supercharger"? If it was maxed out, we wouldn't be able to suck any more power from it. It's a positive displacement supercharger. It moves the same amount of air no matter what the conditions are. All there is to do is either spin it faster or get a bigger supercharger. And that would mean that every supercharger is already maxed out and all there is left to do is spin it faster. It makes absolutely no sense.

Can someone explain this

Sad thing is the RL's supercharger is maxed out. The only they can do to it is supporting mods.

Exactly what garb said^^

What exactly is it that the 03/04 cobras have that makes then not maxed out from the factory? Is there some kind of thing that they can remove or something that makes them faster? I thought the modding path would be similar to the RL.

Just forget about them, they're one sided because "It's a saturn" Can't wait to see some people put the PSI kit on their car and start whoopin some a$$!

I think removing the "FORD" badges is good for 5-10 WHP (Please Ford owners remember this is a SATURN site, I'm not going to go crying on a FORD site, as you shouldn't come crying here. Save yer tears for yer mama )

Ford owners are douche bags from day one, why else would they own a Ford?? People in the know race the General (Bowtie), everyone else is just wannabe racers that like to spend gobs of money to try to prove a point.

Umm, what new lightning? They discontinued the lightning series of trucks, and the replacement is a Rousch package. From what I understand though, the Rousch package is like an add on, not like the lighning where it was just top of the line. Think of the Rousch, like the comp package for us. Same type of deal. And from what I remember, it's only got 400-415 HP (and I say only like it's a small amount, but compared to the Ram SRT10, ya know).

*buzzer* EHHHHH your already wrong, the vette produced better lap times than the cobra R, In fact the editors of the magazine that did the comparo made mention that not only did the vette beat it, but it beat it with a radio and AC

Congratulations saleen is not made by Ford, therefore it can't be used in a comparison on production ford vehicles. Not to mention the new saleen is like, what 50...60k? I know it is expensive.
