kirkyg said:your post makes little sense. You acuse of being a fanboy based on a few comments about a caddie? I dont like the new caddies. I like the old ones, along with lincolns, mercedes, bmws, ferrari, lexus's, infiniti, even audis. That being said i can't afford most of those vehicles right now so my ford will have to do the job that i need it to do. Eventually i can see myself having a luxury vehicle or maybe even an exotic car...so much for being a fanboy
I call you a fan boy because you bash GM all the time...I dont care about your opinion of caddy. The whole time I have been on stangnet I dont recall you stating something you actually liked about GM. Its funny, I dont recall seeing you and Monkie reply in the same post before...are you one in the same?
Your right though...i've had too many bad experience with GM and Chrysler vehicles more specifically. Here is my general feeling about the two companies GM makes ugly vehicles that are fairly reliable (which rules them out first because i put more emphasis on styling than anything else), and chrysler makes some stylish vehicles but the majority of them are notorious for lack of reliability from transmission problems to hard to find electrical problems.
Too bad you have had bad experiences. When is the last time you have bought GM? I think QC has gone up dramatically in the last 10 years.
I think the corvette is a good vehicle i'm just afraid they are going to destroy it the way they have everything they've touched in the past few years. If that makes me a fanboy then so be it i'll be a fanboy. I like all performance cars too. I have a focus on styling first then performance second. As for your comments about my mustang, you may end up waking up half the board on your tail because you just lied for one and two this is a mustang board.
How did I lie? I could care less about waking up half the board. If you talk out your a$$, I'll call you on it.
You say my vehicle has no potential yet a low boost intercooled Kenne Bell supercharged mustang puts out more hp than a vette by far, as well as most other vehicles that are non-exotics. What is your reasoning behind this?
Hahaha! I have seen low boost GT's dyno 350-370rwhp. It takes 350rwhp in a GT to run with a stock C5 M6 (the autos are slower though). I have seen stock vettes trap over 110mph stock with a good driver. I'd say 350rwhp will be close 110mph in a GT. I hate to tell you, but what you consider an exotic must be an S2000 or an old a$$ NSX because a real exotic (911 TURBO, Ferarri, Viper, etc.) would destroy a last Gen Mustang GT with less than 375rwhp.
Oh and btw, that guy from VT posted a dyno of a n/a 2valve GT putting out over 350 rwhp and said they didn't even use aggressive cams yet.

Congrats to him. Sadly, its the first time I have ever heard of a 4.6L 2V in street trim make over 300rwhp, but I guarantee his cams arent emissions legal (i.e. pass the sniffer). Its nice to see the aftermarket starting to pick up.
