I'm in Socal Muscle Club and they're all somewhat pissed at me that I'm going with another Z. LOL

Needless to say, I'm not going to waste my time yelling at a wall.

LOL. Yea your right when it comes to fanboys those type of people are not very open minded when it comes to certain things. That's why i don't like fan boys all that much.
I guess we will have to wait and see when the camaro SS comes rolling out and all the car mags starts testing the camaroo!
It would of been nice added touch to have the TQ more closer to the HP right from the factory though.
By the way do you have the new 370Z?
What do you think about the new Stangs?

I've been lurking on some mustang forums as we all waited to hear about the 2010 model, and they are all pretty pissed about it. Rustang fanboys are the most die hard people I know, so for them to start talking s- about the stang is a big deal.

Why are they all pissy about their poopnies? I think it's the best looking one compared to the previous gens.

I also was shocked to find out that the stinkies were only 5 speed. I always that the cars were 6sp.

They are mad because their 8 cyl, the GT makes barely more HP than the 6 cyl camaro and less hp than the 6cyl Z. Now, that would be fine if the rustang were a much better deal money-wise, but it's only 2K cheaper than the Z and is actually like, 5K more than the base camaro. I will also go out on a limb and say the stang will be lower quality than either. I'd say, that's a sucker's car.

What Ford needs to do is put some wider rubber on the back of their anything highter then a base GT...I think I read somewhere that the GT500 KR was really hurt, acceleration-wise, because it couldn't hook up with such narrow tires in the rear...

Overall, ford, gm, chev have got to step up to the game...
It's about time to think about the buyers wallets not just theirs.
And invest in some decent engineers PLEASE!

The suspension on the 05+ GTs were modeled after the 93+ F-bodies. That being said, I was a bit disappointed to see them put 235's on the Mustang GT. Then even more disappointed to find out that you had to buy 15K more worth of Ford Power Failure to get wider tires.

I don't mean to bring it down to this (especially since I REALLY disagree with what I'm about to say) but Ford pushes Mustangs below the "premium" trims (like cobra) to girls because they think that girls won't care. Ford's thinking is that girls will think the Mustang is "cute" so they'll buy it.

I fortunately know lots of girls that are GREAT drivers and know better than to buy a Mustang. But not everyone grows up with a car-obsessed family.
