OK, before anyone else gets sand in their hoohoo over my Chevy comments.. back to the topic.

I guess I don't get too bothered by Ford's ups and downs because I don't look at their cars from the perspective of buying one myself. Pretty much all new cars have lost my interest. If I think of any new car, I think of it in terms of suggesting my mother buy one. She has a lot of trouble getting in and out of her ZX2, and even my T-bird, due to her spinal surgery. She's shown some interest in the 500 (and now the Montego, since I pointed it out) for the whole "command seating" thing. I tend to think she should just get a minivan and be done with it. (SUVs are a bit of a climb in, which is also somewhat bad.. not to mention not thought of very well in the household)

Someone lock this thread.  Apperantly there can be no civil discussion regarding controversial (Ford vs. Chevy?) topics on this message board.

I'm enjoying the discussion. There's no reason we can't continue with the actual topic.

Im not trying to make any enemys its just that as soon as anyone mentions the 500 or the montego the Magnum seems to pop up for whatever f*cking reason, and frankly im sick of hearing of that car in my opinion its a pos but thats my opinion. Anyway i dont see how anyone could try to hold the 500 to the magnum even if it was a RWD V8 because it would still be a sedan, a family carter, a haul ass family carter but none the less.

I know I wanna bum some of their inline-6 stuff and put it in a decent car. But if it were a TC or XR7 I'd probably get lynched, judging by the reaction to that one Ebay thread. :p

Bloody royt mayte. Oym ganna keek yer ass!

I wish the SCCA GT series would really take off over here. (I think that's the name of it) I know it's an American series, but it's similar to the Aussie Supercars in that they're real stock cars on road courses. Mostly Fox body Stangs and F-bodies. They're modded to the max, but at least they're real cars that you can buy. If the series ever got manufacturer support, I bet NASCAR would disapear pretty  quick. Would you rather watch a Stang run, or a Taurus that doesn't exist?

sadly, nascar aint goin nowhere, theres too many people into it, too many people buying the products, and too many people who live their lives for every sunday

that, and its becoming like an addictive soap opera for some "oh my god, Tony Stewart is such an asshole!" i mean , chill out

but yes, Ford sucks in its current form, by the time they made a stock car to outrun the LS1 F-bodies, the F-body line died off, and it took them a supercharger to do so, where as GM had a beautifully designed pushrod engine

but as mentioned before, if i were to buy a new car, it would be an SRT-4, theyre light, cheap, economic, and fast, there is no car that truly competes with it in bang-for-the-buck

and also, i finally spotted a new stang, 05 GT in redfire...i can officially say i dont like it, it looks so fake, so playskoolish to me, i think they messed up big by making a design thats either a love or hate, everyone ive talked to either loves it or hates it, havnt heard an "ehhh, its alright" or "its pretty decent", ford needs to stop targeting age groups, specific buyers, previous owners etc, they need to build cars that should appeal to everyone
It's Gumby's fault.

i wonder how the expedition didnt get brought up.  that is an american suv, and very powerful too.

and why the 500 bashing?  how many of you ppl actually drove one?  i drive about 15 of those things a day.  and even in it's base form, i would almsot take it over a GT mustang.  even with 203 hp, they smoke the 250 hp 300.  and yes, I've done it  :ies:

i always root for Ford as well, but i expect them to fall in every catagory.  and frankly, they are the most american made car out there.  (ford, gm, and cryst)

and dont try to prove that im wrong about that, cuz trust me i know.  and if we cant get along with this stuff

IES!!!!!  :ies:

discuss!  :dunno:
