    This in a rear wheel drive converted 1984 or 1985 Ford Tempo two-door would be something interesting. I've seen a big block Ford stuffed into one ('85 GL Coupe), but nothing modern (or 1994+ for that matter). #raptor

    That's why GM had to go to the government for money, and Ford did not. #boss

    My jaw dropped. My skin tingled. In cast iron, Ford is drawing an indelible boundary. No mere line in the sand, this is a statement in molten metal. #boss

    @Cue the Coupé Coup: Thank you, that's what I was shooting for.

    After years and years of quietly wishing for American auto manufacturing would get off its ass, I'm seeing more and more evidence of at least one company actually doing it. The past several years to me have been like Leonard-Spinks fight. We all thought we were going to see poor old Sugar Ray get his ass handed to him by the young brash challenger Leon Spinks. Well, it didn't turn out that way. Spinks had youth on his side and that was all - Sugar Ray danced around him, played bongos on his head and put him decisively away. Hell, Sugar Ray could have gone a bunch more rounds - he looked like he was actually having fun. And Spinks looked like he was getting a colonoscopy.

    Ford is Sugar Ray. The old champ has mountains of fight left in him. #boss

    @skaycog: aww come on, no replacement for displacement and all...

    though.. i guess they way they have the 5.4 crammed in there it'd take a lot of re-engineerding to do... and why mess with something that works so well already. (you're quite welcome nudge nudge ;) #raptor

    @skaycog: You're right to stick with the 5.4L it's lighter and with the internals package all you need to do is turbo the thing and you're pumping out over 1000hp. #raptor

    In reply to 2011 Ford Mustang GT?
    Wow so many anti Ford fanbois here.


    The Stang in all its various flavors sell more thanany other Ford car there is.

    why wouldnt they ride it?


    and btw.. us Ford guys asked for those flavors..


    and they listened.


    Not everyone can afford a Shelby GT500 let alone a KR.

    we like to be able to have a Mustang in our price range that fits us.


    Now if these cars were sitting and rotting on dealer lots like F150s and other trucks.. you might have a point.. but down here at least you cannot even get your hands on a GT in choice colors most of the time.

    they are all sold out.. and dont even think about getting a Gt500 or even a Shelby GT without being on a waiting list or paying over sticker.


    So nothing wrong at all with various flavors of Mustangs.


    and BTW the Foxes ate the hell out of DIEROCS during the 80s.


    specially 5.0 LX notchbacks.


    too many Chevy/Pontiac retards around here to listen to anything anyway.

    @Jason Pope:


    A) You are correct, if the consumer ask for them and subsequently buy them, there is nothing wrong with them.


    B) F-150s have once more surpassed Civics as the best-selling new vehicle in America.


    C) Only if those Foxes were modified and the IROCs were stock.


    D) Yep, that's right, I'm a GM guy that likes my Camaros and Firebirds. Your point?
