Even with three emoticons the sarcasm went undetected.

They aren't trying to race you. They are just driving normally. That's just what a normal merge with traffic in a fast car looks like. :P

Honestly, whenever a C5 or C6 comes up on me it seems like 80% of the time they want to start ****. I sort of understand the C6 but why the hell would a C5 with only a cat-back want to start something?

There was a C5 coupe that was harrassing our 370 group on our way to lunch one day. I had to put that dumbass in his place. :shakes head:

I was really surprised about the weight of those mufflers. Wasn't expecting it to hurt so much when it came down and hit me. They weigh 44 lbs a piece. :eek:

Yeah, but by the time the car has been out for years, there tend to be less idiots positing up about the driver related problem.


Here is what the discussion looks like when more knowledgeable people talk about the funky cold performance.

Do you remember all the guys trying to lemon law the car due to the trans in the early Z06?

In all seriousness, I wish I had gotten a chance to run a stock 5.0 in my WS6. *supposedly* the new SS's trap higher than a stock GT in all the mag tests I have seen and my WS6 was a dead ringer for the '10 SS's I ran.

As to the C6, there are a lot of people who are getting "grass is greener" syndrome over Ford's approach to 400+bhp and they want to see how their car measures up/prove that the C6 is still faster/find out one way or the other, or whatever.

That being said, I have only had one C6Z race my WS6, and it obliterated it. I did not even get it in gear before that car was gone. Fared much better against an '09 GT500, though. 3rd gear from a 60 hit I was down about 1/5-2 cars, and by 115, about 4 cars or so down. Not bad I thought.

The GT500 has been out for how long now?

Also, how many synchro-revisions for the same transmission has Ford managed? I count...Zero. Even though they have a problem with fully warmed up transmissions.

That is one of the main reasons I abandoned my thoughts about getting a GT500, along with inadequate suspension for the power involved.

On the GT!?

Maybe Ford is hearkening back to the fox-body 5.0 and it's exhaust system, lol. Cats are more efficient now, so the only way to get that sense of late 80's heft is with a muffler that means business!

Maybe they were just trying to help the weight distribution with that:rofl2:

It's gone through more of a revival performance-wise (at least in the minds of buyers). The impulsive idiots only buy cars they're hearing about through other sources.

I guarantee the new Boss will "have" like a million transmission issues due to this crowd.

It usually works like this (Especially for affordable cars like the Z and Mustang):

New model is introduced.

Media raves about said model.

Bunch of nubs buy the car.

Bunch of nubs complain about car.

Media reports on complaints.

Time passes and things die down. Nubs either learn or leave.

Car gets cheap in the used markets, punk kids enter the market and ruin everything.

Rinse and repeat.

Pretty much. I watched the same crap happen with the S.
