The forum or your bedroom.

Yes, I know the forum IS your bedroom *wink wink*

I don't know if either will be sufficient to satisfy the discerning Ford owner.

So because the Subaru thread died, can I write in here that I think all my little WRX needs in addition to stock is a set of nice swaybars, and then I'll be really happy?

Sways wake up subies.

And by wake up, I mean "stop them from pushing like there is no tomorrow"

Is this the "we only have super duper nice things to say about cars we've owned" thread?

I can see myself out if real-world criticism is unwelcome.

No, this is an open forum to speak objectively about other vehicles.

That's what I thought... I'm not trying to stir **** up, if I was I'm sure I could do much better.

I think I was more than gracious about the Mustang, but to say that you "wouldn't even know it's a live axle" like I've seen C&D state, is a bit ridiculous.

I agree. It truly is ridiculous that ford's engineers are that good.

I used to drive a late 80's 5.0...the car handled so poorly that is was fun. I drove a 2012 5.0 and was impressed, they have progresed a long ways. I have a GT500 and it is a whole different animal, yes you can tell it is a live axle however, the car handles very well. The harder you push the car the better it reponds, compared to my 370Z, my GT500 would have zero issues keeping up with one in turns. I will not say they are the greatest however, Ford has come a long way from the 5.0 I used to drive.
