2011 Mustang 5.0 Turbo

LOL... the VG and VQ engines are great and reliable engines. I didn't know they were crap. I'm speaking from experience. Cardio, what do you drive and why?

the VQ has been on the Ward's magazine best 10 engines every year from 1995 to 2008.

And? The 2.3L DISI MZR (Mazdaspeed 3/6) has been on Ward's Ten Best since it's been out.

Perfect? Hell no.

For one, I didn't say VQ's were "crap" but I wouldn't exactly call them "awesome" either.

What do I drive and why? 08 MS3 GT, 3yrs ago I was in a serious relationship with a woman who had an 8 yr old daughter so I didn't what to purchase a very expensive impractical car. Yeah I could’ve bought a M3 or Porsche Cayman S, etc if I wanted but I was saving for house. Regardless the MS3 isn't a bad car for the money and with a little invested it runs quite well. I don't drag race much but people have been running 13.4@107+ with just intake and AP. It handles well too especially with coil over suspension.
