Sup, With all these "Fighters" developed by GM, maybe it is time for a detention. Send Lutz home from school and right to his room. He can sit on his racecar bed and cry. I remember back when I was a teen there was a game for the SNES car Super Punch Out. It was a boxing game. There was a character named Gabby Jay and his record was 1- 99, reminds me of GM for some reason. Peace Skape

Sup, Not that I am knocking the idea, but why would you want manual control over an Escape?. Seems like it would benefit a sporty car better. Skape

Sup, In my world I spell Nelly, P-E-A-R-L J-A-M and rap G-R-U-N-G-E or R-O-C-K. Thanks for the step dad comments, it was an up hill battle. The worst part was the fact I shaved my head when he went for chemo, and he ended up growing hair. I could not believe it. Not to mention I had pretty long hair at the time. Even funnier is that it was donated to Lock of Love and a little girl got it. So now my hair endowed step dad gets to laugh at this picture of a smiling 11 year old girl wearing a wig made of my hair. God I love life Peace Skape P.S. it was worth donating my hair to see that girl smile. Stupid sappy moment, ruining BON for everyone.

Sup, I just read a magazine article on the new 5.0l. Other than the powdered metal connecting rocds, the rest of the engine looks pretty built. It was like a 19 page article. It explained a lot. Skape

Sup, Does anyone have a guess when they will release the car to the press for review?. I am interested in getting one and want to hear a review for one first. My step dad just was cleared of his cancer and I want to get one for us to work on as a team. I owe him one. Peace Skape

Sup, I took my last year bonus check and dumped it into for stock. I bought 15,000 shares at $2.03 and 10,000 more at just shy of $4.00. I hope to keep it as a "Build my Dream Home" Fund. Being in law during an economic crisis is very.... unfortunatly.... safe. Peace, Skape

Sup, They should call it the Mercury Marshall. The they could use the tag line "The new Mercury Marshall, because everyone likes to be at the front of the parade". or "The new Mercury Marshall, suck it Buick". Peace Skape

Sup, I never said the GM made a better blower, I am saying American muscle classically uses a super charger, and most people have the image of the pony car with the olf GM blowers. I was not saying they were better, just that it is what people think of when thinking about the Muscle car. As a child I vividly remember these huge GM blowers sticking out of the hoods of drag cars and the like. It is American as drag racing. Oh and I will not look up PSI blowers, I know more about them than most already. Next time I will clarify what I mean better. That being said, there is no way anyone can convince me to buy a turbo muscle car. It does not fit my view of what I believe a muscle car should be. It should be rough, a bit crude, and be driven by me. This is why I had the idea of an AWD Mustang. Anyone can drive a GT-R fast, but not everyone can drive a Mustang fast. It takes a bit more talent and ability than letting some computer do it for you. Besides everytime I hear a turbo blow off vavle let loose, I cringe in ricer paranoia. Peace Skape

Sup, I am with snooter on this one. Turbo's are great on smaller displacment engines, and you are right about the fastest cars having turbos, but if the SVO Stang proved anything, the pony car world does not buy turbo's. To keep the pony car image alive a super charger is the way to go. I am not sure how old y ou people are but back in the pony car years, does anyone remember the GM 6-71 blowers?. Super Charging screams pony car. It is just the way it is. I agree that there are some benefits to turbo charging, but there are benefits to super charging as well. I would not buy a Mustang if they went to a turbo, and I plan on ordering one. Same with the EB idea. If they replaced the V8 with a 3.5l EB 6, I would not even consider a Mustang anymore. I am placing my order for a 5.0 'Stang as soon as I am able. I then plan on super charging it. I figure leave the GT500 alone, it already make 540hp on a SC, why would you need a turbo set up. I must say though, I would love to see how a 5.0l would do with a turbo setup, just not from the factory. Too ricer for me, but the numbers I would love to see. Skape. P.S. I own a turbo BMW right now, and I still prefer a SC feel.

Sup, I can see the taglines now: "Get ready to touch your Sync" "This car has everything, except the kitchen Sync" The puns would be unbelieveable Peace Skape

Sup, I predict a laser focus. Peace Skape

Sup, If I had to take a stab at the 2011 gt's 1/4 and 0 - 60 times I would say 12.8 - 12.9 at 111 and maybe 0-60 in 4.6 or 4.7 Skape

Sup, If anything should be used I would think it should be the GT-S model. That should be the stripper. The LX should be left in the naming convention gravyard. Skape

Sup, Know what I find funny is that P71 had to have read this thread to get the link. So he skulks around here obviously, and then has the ignorance to call Ford fans cheerleaders?. His obsessive nature seems to be far worse than any cheerleading Ford fans are doing. On a side note, great article bro, keep it up. I look forward to reading more of your stuff in the future. Skape

Sup, I have been in Canada awhile now and have noticed that, like the USA, diesels are considered to be for pickup trucks and large delivery vans. Few small vehicles, outside of VW's, get a diesel engine. The polution controls here are very strict. Skape
