I know Ford products as much as I know GM products.

What I do know is that GM is the world's #1 car maker, and Ford is not. :) Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 26k orig.

Sure, many times before. I just worked on one of your beloved POS FOMOCO products belonging to my relative, a Ford Taurus.

What a god awful creation of a vehicle. LOL. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 26k orig. '79 "Y89" 400/4 speed 10th Ann. T/A, 57k orig '84 Olds 88 Royale Bgm 2 dr, 307 "Rocket" (lol), 141k and still going.... '80 T/A project car...

Depending which side of the fence you're on in this one?

Almost like armchair politics, Repugnant, Defocrats!

Some eat at McDonalds others at burger King, I prefer a local diner for a burger.

For a Cobra to keep up:

Most likely so!

PS At least Don, and you Joe are good natured in your ribbing. Some of the others are downright psychotic!

Yeah...but I was only hitting on 5 cylinders.

Is that when your boyfriend pops up off your lap??

Does your father know you talk about him like that?

Don Manning

Good gawd, are *all* you chevy guys gay?

CobraJet

Nah...2.3 is alright...just messing with him a bit..

Besides, unless GM suddenly surprises me in the next few days, I have a black on black Mach1 waiting for me to make up my mind. Thinking seriously about trading in the 92 Stang on it.

Come on CJ..you know I am not bothered in the least about gay jokes, comments or the like. I like gay people...they pay in cash, and dont argue about the bill...LOL

Ah. One of the new, cookie-cut Mach 1's. :)

I was contemplating one a little while ago myself. However, as a traditionalist, I couldn't handle the shaker combined with the sharp drop-off of the hood line. In general, I have this problem with both Mustangs and Camaros. The fact that I cannot see sheet metal past the windshield when driving really bothers me. I need a sense of physical perimeter, for lack of a better phrase. Also, both interiors are too confining in the driver's area. In years past I've been most comfortable in Torinos and Cyclones, which is probably why I have a Crown Vic daily driver now. Flat hood, roomy interior. Not fast, but adequate.

Reminds me of a few friends in the Navy that bought cars based on the length of the hood. If you couldn't land a fighter jet on it, it wasn't adequate.

That explains why he was talking about a 1 yo mustwank and a 5 yo Firebird...

You're so right you can't. But then, when the 2002 F-bodies still stomp on the latest Mustings you don't really need to either. When a

2004 can't outdo a 2002 then you say it is beh>Ford is behind GM? Go get your 2004 Firebird/Camaro and line it up against
