oh... and usually the only way a ford beats Gm is when they add a blower. aka older cobras and shelbys.

its all for fun though... right
Totally agree with you. If you want to play on the streets or track, have your car ready. This means having a tire or some form of suspension to keep the power planted. This also means having some mods that actually do something. Throwing on a CAI without at least a catback and a tune is actually reducing power.

I agree with ya on the GM vs NA Ford motors. I know I would never even consider racing even a stock LS1 because of the beating I would receive.

It's not an argument...it's a documented fact.

I grew up mainly dodge family. Well trans went out in the dodge truck so my dad got a ford. That truck didn't last long, it was having problems left and right. So now we have Chevy which haven't failed us yet.

I only had Mopars and GM's. I changed to Ford when I went to sell my 2001 Z28 and the dealership told me the Camaro and Firebird was discontinued. I asked what else he had in terms of performance. He had the Vette which was out of my price range and the other option was a Malibu SS.
Ford it is, then.

I would gladly drive another GM though. Actually, that new Grand National would be nice if they are not going to be to high in price.
