  1. I don't know, it's kind of boring. My 2012 styling I think is better. The Fusion look is getting old already. The 1L ecoboost just is not sufficient for this size car. Even the 2.0 in my 2012 is lacking power even with the 5 speed stick. JMHO
  2. I thought that was for the GT350. Either with or without FPC.
  3. And let me remind everyone of 2 things: GT350, GT500 I haven't heard anything about a GT500. Is there going to be one?
  4. Ford didn't even use the Camaro as a base line to the Mustang did they? Didn't they bench it against BMW? Even if it is slower than the Camaro so what. You are getting a much better car overall. If you want it faster you can always bolt on S/C from Ford and then have all the fun you want at the strip.
  5. Mark Martin has just signed up with Roush as a development driver coach. What Jack really needs is some new engineering blood to get the chassis working as good or better than Penske right now, not a driver coach from a guy that is 55 years old. These new young guys can already drive better than old Mark.
  6. Why is it that when the Fords don't win it's because of the rules. Get over it Fords don't win because. a) the teams don't have enough money. b) the team just sucks. c) poor team management. d) Ford just doesn't have the right equipment. e) the other guys team is just plain better.
  7. And don't forget the "Lucky Dog" to get your lap back. What a joke that rule is.
  8. I doubt Jr would drive anything but a Chevy also. I think he would start his own team before switching brands, unless the money was so good he couldn't refuse. Which would be a lot by the way.
  9. I wish Jack Roush would leave NASCAR and get back into Road Racing and Drag racing again. As far as the drivers in NASCAR none of them have loyalty to any brand. They say they do on TV but they would jump ship to whomever pays them the most in a heartbeat.
  10. Why race at all? They should just take that money and put it into R&D at the corporate level to improve the production cars to take over the number one spot from Toyota.
  11. Now if Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai and maybe BMW steep in then the changing generation might be interested. As long as they could use NOS, turbos, and a fart can.
  12. I wonder who is behind it. I hope they find out and tell the public.
  13. You should actually GO to a race someday instead of watching it on TV. It's a whole different experience being there live. "1. Racing doesn't sell regular cars" ..... But it does help improve production cars. "2. Don't call a purpose built race car a stock car (NASCAR, NHRA)"..... The name "Stock Car" is from the old days when they were pretty much stock and it just stuck. They do call them Race cars, Hotrods, and Junk today.
  14. Wait, akirby, did you hit your head or something? You actually LOVE a race car that doesn't make financial sense? Hell must be freezing over
  15. In 1985 I had a Mustang GT, 225 HP rating, and it was pretty fast. Today 435 HP and people say it's not enough? I guess there is always room for more.
  16. That's what I meant (at the supplier) they should check every batch BEFORE shipping.
  17. Could have been. But do they take a sample of each batch and test it before using it? Shouldn't that be part of the quality procedure, no?
