peaceful resolution?
Since I have owned both an '02 GT and an '04 Mach I, I was very interested to see this thread, to see what other people thought of their experiences with the cars. Now that some of you are mortal enemies... I think some people have lost track of the content of this thread while in the heat of the moment. I read this thread from start to finish just now, and I have made a few observations.
-TR03Mach1 and codyGT are at each other's throats; someone should spray the hose on them to cool them off
-Everyone believes that what they personally own is the best that there is. This is principle is not limited to this particular argument, but true almost anything that involves a choice of either or, whether it be car x vs car y or brand x engine mod vs brand y engine mod. We all do it sometime, testosterone does this to you - it's only natural and usually hard to fight. Sometime later when you're not mad at the other side of the argument, try to think about this and understand that you just can't help thinking that what you have is the greatest; isn't it great that Mustangs are so awesome that no matter how much you spend on yours, that you still think that it's the best.
-Back when people were still using fact based ideas and arguments, the issue at hand was the stock '03-04 Mach I engine vs the stock '04 GT engine. Somehow, confusion took control of this thread and modded cars got all mixed into this mess. Yes, it is true that money will take you as fast as you want to go - a properly modded v6 mustang can make lots of power as well.
Any argument will last for an eternity if you start talking modded cars because of the fact that there is an infinite number of possible modification combinations that you can compare against each other. This argument concerns stock vehicles or at least extremely close to stock vehicles (because the number of people who go to the track completely stock and post about their experience is not a large enough sample to represent an entire group). My point is this: The my car with x mods vs you're car with y mods argument is tired. Get back to Stock vs Stock.
-These posts have slipped in quality. Pages 1 & 2 had good uses and citations of evidence to support their case. TR03Mach1 has cited a wealth of evidence to support his argument. He should be applauded for that. It is sad however, that he has slipped into mudslinging. Whenever anyone decides to make a claim, they are bound to back it up with some kind of verifiable evidence, or how are we supposed to believe that claim?
I hope you two can settle your tempers and go back to the issue. codyGT, TR03Mach1 has brought forth some good evidence to support his claim, and I hope that you will do the same. I will not bring my own personal opinions onto either side of this argument, but I have owned both an '02 GT and an '04 Mach I and I have loved them both; I hate seeing either one get bashed in such a manner.
