Give me some good reasons guys...

Ok..in about 6 months I will be looking into buying a new "street machine". In the past few years I have been heavy into the LT1 and more recently LS1 Camaro/Trans Am performers. Im sure you guys have plenty of knowledge on how mean LS1s are. Now, that said..how happy are you guys with the new 3V 4.6s you are running and modding. I appreciate all cars, as many of my buddys are mustang guys, but none of them have the new ones, they are either Fox or SN95/NewEdge...so, why should I switch? Any serious advice either way is appreciated. Thanks.

Talking Stock cars only - 1/4 mile times are as follows:
95' Z28 LT1 - 14.6 , 00' Z28 LS1 14.1 , 02' SS Z28 LS1 13.6 , 02' FireHawk LS1 13.5 , 05' Mustang GT 3V 4.6 - 13.8 (with basic mods 13.5 like Shelby GTH)

You may not believe it being a diehard LS1 guy. But with bolt-ons 12's are easy with the 05+ Mustangs in NA form.. The 3v head was long over due.

Also, if you still aren't convinced on performance (a little 281 is on par w/ the 350), think about this: with a Mustang, you will actually have a trunk. Not only that, the OHC engine is much easier to do cam swaps on (just take valve covers off and you're set, no taking intake manifold, radiator out, etc.).
