Yeah, well I got both bikes running. And we all know that Ford makes the best cages ever built.

I have seen what chevys look like afterthey havebeen totaled, and I would never buy any other truck. As for cars all Ford has is the stang and although with enough options you can make it a decent ride, the main idea was to make it so cheap and appealing that every teenage wannabe racer and prissy little daddy's girl wouldhave one, and thats just not my crowd.

Only if the world wants to pay 50k for a straight line machine. The performance to $$$ ratio is insane, especially for a carthat cant turn.

They can turn very well, dispite the live axle. It's the weight that's a problem. It's still 500HP for mid $40k

Even with 500HP it would still get whippes in the turns by a civic, and thats just unamerican. Did you see Ken Gushi's first few seasons in the mustang? I felt bad for the kid, when he was driving a home tuned POS they called him "The Future" then he switched to the pro built fully sponsored Mustank and he was "The Past." Terrible machine.

Terrible Machine? That's why the FR500C won first, second, and third in the GT cup every year since 2005, right? And why the Mustang GT is the top car in the D1 drift circuit, right?

If Ken Gushi cant get a 500HP car to out drift a 250HP S13 without 2 seasons of modifications, there has to be some flaws. Have you seen that piece try to drift? You can feel the weight holding it back just watching it on TV.

No offense

I'm not a drifter, I'm a dragger. However, I have experemented with it when driving my 5.0 (which is not a heavy car, btw) and the only thing I've had holding me back is my lack of experience drifting with such a high TQ car.
