No excuse made, I stated a Stock Vette would win vs. a Stock Cobra. I'm sorry dude, but unless his brother sucks behind the wheel and he's good, that's the only way. Face it man. I made the blower analogy because that's what Ford has to do to keep up with the big boys these days. I grew up a Ford person, but always hated they had their highest performance car available with a V6. I love the new GT40 that's coming out, and it's going to smoke almost anything, but again, why not go with a naturally aspirated motor like all of the other big players.</P>

they're going for smaller displacement and new technology unlike the other big players. the only way to stay alive is to keep improving, be it in price or features...thats what killed F-Bodies.

What killed the F Bodies was sales. Mustangs always outsould the F-bodies, even when they were slower. This is the first year Mustangs have put out competitive numbers, a year in which no F-bodies are around. I won't argue for f-bodies though, as I am not a big fan of them. GM really disgraced the Corvette by putting Vette Motors in those cars. Lucky for Vette owners, they gave us a better cam, heads, and lifters. I guess they would do that for $20k more.</P>

why do you think they had poor sales? they didnt improve their styling, s**tty interior, old technology, nor price. </P>


if im not mistaken they didnt have any difference in enginespost 2000 cause they accidentally mixed them up sometimes so they just made them all the same...ask dan, i think he said that.</P>

Like I said, I'm not going to defend those cars b/c I don't like them, so don't get so pissy. They did have poor sales compared to Mustangs, check it out for yourself. Poor sales is a component of everything you stated. It's not rocket science.</P>

Nope, you showed you're ignorance and pointed out the components of what I ultimately stated. Looks like you were owned. By the way, what do you drive?</P>
