Audi Ur-Q vs. Mustang 308

[Pat Dooley]

I know this is an Audi list, but need to reply.
The 302 Ford motor has been a very popular tuners choice for many years.
They are not weak and easily make big horsepower numbers.
I have seen 5.0 stangs push into the 9's and even 8's at my local strip.

>>For the record, there's no such thing as a 5 liter 308 cubic inch stang

>>GM 5 liter is a 305.  Both are weak motors.
