Your right, it does not make them stupid, but they would rather be...ignorant.

Tell me about it...I sell high end audio for a living.

No, McIntosh does NOT make computers....sigh...

Had a guy at the Costco gas pump ask me if my car was a 2011, followed by "why are they putting the 5.0 badges on them again?"

ROFL!

I have heard similar, except the comments said to me are more like: "They really brought back the 5.0?"
I have to tell them in not exactly because the Coyote is absolutely a different animal from the classic push-rod 302 from the Fox bodies

That is hilarious!

This also reminds me of when my wife had a 2002 VW New Beetle TDI (diesel)
Everyone always assumed she was just a dumb blonde putting diesel in her car and tried to correct her at the gas pumps.

Needless to say it got old when it was a once every fill up kinda thing.

P.S.- Nice recording gear website by the way. Being an audiopohile with little time to listen I struggle with the loud exhaust vs. stereo fight. Exhaust usually wins!

its sad but most people don't know about mustangs. my buddy's a mech and no matter how much i talk to him about my mustang and the new 5.0 he still cant tell me what size it is when i ask. Chevy fan... lol but truth be said i couldn't tell you a thing about Honda or Mitsubishi.

have had my ears perked by by Hyundai's new 2012 Genesis sedan. V8 5.0 as well, boasting 429 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque. sposta be lighter too. said their aiming for the mustangs turf... aint gonna come close.

Best response I read.. I couldn't tell you the HP either, nor do I care.
