Just saw a Fox Mustang smoke a Ferrari 355

hells yeah ...

a muscle car set up for drag racing can smoke an exotic (but pretty much ONLY at that)

heh

Yep get them on a winding road for any length of time and watch the Ferrari leave him. After the first half mile the Ferrari should eat up a 1/4 machine. This isn't true of some of the other rides like Steeda, Kenny Brown or Roush or even a slightly modified cobra as all of them will handle.

Dangerous with out a doubt. Perhaps the Ferrari driver realized this and backed-off. Perhaps the Ferrari driver was a s***ty driver. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Exotics really do not excel in 1/4 mile contests. Takes a while for those high-rev cars to get in their power band. But once they do, watch out. Get em out in the twisties and they are going to eat a muscle cars lunch.

Well, while it is definately cool that the Pony could whip the Stallion, I have to say " big deal"

I'm sure if presented with the offer, the owner of the Pony would have gladly traded pinkslips with the "slow Ferrari"

(I know I sure would!)

Oh, and yes, I'm a top poster and proud of it ! Bottom posting is an antiquated concept that went away with the 1200 baud modem and green screen! It made sense when the screen was painted line by line, and you had to read, and post at the bottom, but Nowadays, we have REAL screen control, and the ability to read a reply FIRST.

If I want to see the rest of the thread, I'll click on one of the other messages. Re-posting over and over and over only sucks up bandwitdth and wastes server space!

Same here, then I'd sell it, buy an 03 Cobra, maybe a 69 Shelby GT500 KR convertible, maybe a 65 fastback with no rust, pay off my 95 and have some left over as a nest egg. Or maybe a garage to put the cars in.

This is not why top posting is commonly hated. quoting normally gives your message context that is much more natural (more like a conversation) top posting forces anyone who hasn't JUST read what you're replying to, to skip down to the quoted text to figure out who and what you're replying to. Which needless to say is highly unnatural. More often than not it is simply easier to ignore posts from top posters than to bother trying to figure out.

Do whatever you want of course, just know that there are plenty of people who find top posting annoying, and very few that prefer top posting. Also as a rule top posting is often considered a "newbie" practice, is closely associated with usenet kooks, AOL, and the hopelessly clueless. Not that all top posters fit into those groups, but that's the perception.

I never thought of that. That is so cool! I only have one question, though, so go ahead and reply to it first.

No sense in me even asking the question, then, since that would just waste bandwidth and top-posters always read the reply first, anyway.
