Alright I know everyone here is partial to Fords so I decided this would be this best place for help.
First off let me tell you what I'm doing. I need to give a persuasive speech for on of my college class and I thought what better idea then to do cars and the whole lot, hence "Ford vs GM vs Others".
The thing is I don't wnat this to be just another Ford is better and that's it kinda thing. I need some info! So I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on this, and any info appericiated!
2 problems here.
1. You posted this in the wrong section. Maybe if you said a v6 comaro v/s a v6 mustang, but you didn't.
2. You posted this in the v6 section, of all sections, witch is mostly teenagers wondering what brand of cia they should get to make thier mustnag faster.

Alright then where should I have posted? the reason why i posted here is cause i have a v6 stang and I thought i'd keep it in here where I actually look.
GM - Pros - transmissions are top quality and loose less power from the flywheel to the rear wheels than others, great engine power in class and well built to handel lots of power,highermpg standards in the V8 and V6 class
Cons - higher initial price, frames are prone to rust, paint corrodes quicker than others as it's cheaper quality, eletrical problems, high price for OEM replacement parts, paint colors vary with year while codes stay the same, some engine lines are extremely hard to work on
Ford - Pros - long lasting engines, long lasting autos, above average electrical systems, solid frames, higher crash test ratings in all classes, cheaper initial cost, OEM replacement parts are fairly affordable, great paint quality with little to nopaint color to code letter problems, mostly easy access to engine compartment and parts
Cons - some sensors are prone to faillure, automattic transmissions loose a lot of power to the wheels, older manual transmissions are not built to take much more power than stock
Well i have an auto. and it's a good car. but loss of power. Yea but not that much.. I have a little auto lag . but as far as performance its good.
You generally have a 20% drivetrain loss through an auto. So you have 190 flywheel HP, take 20% of that, subtract it from 190, and you have an estimated rwhp.

I have never heard of a non-brand name car....would that be like a Fred's Fun Wagon?
I think there's plenty of threads that discuss auto loss guys Thanks for the help though.. anybody else have their opinions?
Well here's mine. w/out gettin into car verse cars I think that Ford has the all around edge towards GM.
Both GM and Ford have partnerships; GM is w/ Saab, Fiat, Fuji/Subaru, Isuzu, Suzuki.
And Ford bein w/ Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mazda, Volvo, Land Rover.
According to other sources though, makers of Toyota and such have the advantage over both Ford an GM.
Here's a litte thing found from a website: At a private dinner on Wednesday, Ford CEO Alan Mulally told journalists that the recent visit he and Mark Fields made to Toyota's headquarters was born out of a desire to understand more about the Japanese automaker's manufacturing and product development processes, which Mulally holds in very high esteem. He went so far as to refer to Toyota as "the finest machine in the world, the finest production system in the world," adding that "we (Mulally and Fields) went to study with the master."[blockquote] [/blockquote]
