Several people caring more about the idle characteristics of the cam and how cool itll sound instead of the power. Seen it before. Dumby tips are retarded, T/As look just fine without tips and its alot more retarded to just hang some tips in the back that don't do anything, IMO.

I think you're retarded for opting for a Formula over a T/A, but like you said in your other post, its preference.

Nah I think they will most likely keep it the way it is and maybe up the power a bit on the mustangs. Ford did well with the mustang. Now Chevy is answering back. The gt500 is a beast and still will dominate any camaro at the strip.

I would think that Ford will probably bring out the next Mach I with the next model change.

I think ford has been there with the LS Boss....Were they stupid?

No he wouldn't. But he would post vids of other people having success with it over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and

For 55k I would laugh. Just not worth it. Specially with no AC, stereo, etc etc. Even then still not worth 50+k for a car that simply isn't streetable.

That's exactly what Ford did with all three Cobra "R" cars and we all know how successful they were. Stop being a fanboy.

Bad *** car! Rear is fugly. Very impratical. Car will be $60k+. C&D has already said it will be faster and more expensive than the ZL1. To go to the extremes of losing AC and radio just to shed a 100lbs off of a stock SS is pretty hilarious. It will be a track monster tho.

I can hear the Ford 5.0 fanboys shitting all over themselves right now. The LS7 takes things to a whole different level

With fuel prices as they are, not dropping ever again, and the government mandates on fuel efficiency for a maker's fleet, these high powered muscle cars may not be around forever.

Yeah and all 150 to 200 or so units were sold before they could even get them in the showroom. GM is taking a similar approach with the Z/28 albeit with mass production. No-frills, track oriented, purpose built car. How can one not respect that?!

I understand that. But you didn't see people buying them to DD either. I was hoping for a ls7 option for the SS that didn't jump the price 20k. Would made me think about a camaro.

I like the car...except... it has the same issue... its heavy. 300lbs lighter then a ZL1 brings it in at 3900lbs....hardly anything i would consider..."light". With my car currently coming in at 3200lbs.... well...yea..
