We won't hold it against you, horsepower is horsepower! Now whether it lasts is another thing! Found On Road Dead !

Like the Trace Adkins song goes:
It's like a girl too pretty, with too much class
Being too lucky, a car too fast
No matter what they say I've done, well I ain't never had too much fun

Re: I'm not a FORD guy, but........
I was Ford factory trained and am a proud and loyal ford guy for many years. My dad is pure Chevrolet. Hates fords with a passion. I worked at the ford dealer for around 6 years before switching it up and working at an all Ford performance shop. Unfortunately the economy went kaput and now work in a job I hate. Still, had the most fun ever with Fords. We still crew for a 10.5 radial car that runs mid 7's and is street legal. I have driven my fair share of 03/04 terminators and a handful of gt500 Shelby's. Everyone should drive one once
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

I'm not a Ford guy either but it's nice when I drive the 'rent's GT500. Though, it could handle better.

Re: I'm not a FORD guy, but........
I'm mostly a Mopar guy but I own a few GM products that I'm happy with...I've never owned a Ford. I was never really fond of the Mustangs of any generation, they were just too commonplace. I liked the early 70's-ish Torino Cobras, though (pre-Starsky & Hutch model, never liked that one either). I think the '70 I loved most, and my cousin had a '72 with the fast-back body style and cool hoodscoop. But other than that span of Torinos, I can't think of any other model of Ford that I'd like to own.
