Ford VS. Chevy is dead. Through the eyes of a ricer.

For the most part this site is a joke. Read what this 'rice boy' says about how the performance era is 'officially' dead, and ford won. Then goes on to say all performance in this country will be FWD, blah, blah, blah.
Truly a lost soul brainwashed by the fast and furious movie.

In all honestly I would have rather been doing my calc 3 over reading the first two paragraphs of his manifesto because at least my calculus is partically based on one or two facts.

Since these things are so heavy & the motors so low in HP outputs, the owners will never get into trouble with the laws even if they tried. So no more “display of power” tickets, let the Honda guys who can easily chirp their front tires get those.

wow they can easily "chirp" their front tires
what a moron
i hope the camaro comes back with a OHV engine just look at the LS1 it puts so many import OHC engines to shame

I guess I could've taken his opinion a little more seriously if it wasn't written in wanna-be-gangsta English. At times I couldn't even understand it.

i believe that the chevy vs. ford era isn't dead, but its fading, now its more domestic vs. import, but in that back of any muscle car owners mind (ford vs. chevy) before and after racing is thats a ford/chevy

the last three of those I don't even consider performance vehicles... as far as the lightning, what about the xtreme? many people make those go fast.

and the mustang? 260 hp most cars nowadays have 260 hp.

the 2003 SVT however... that car's reputation scares me. I have yet to run into one, but from what I hear, I will know it by how bad it left my LS1 behind.

I'll give you the maruader and Svt focus but you wouldn't consider the Lightning a performance vehicle? come on.

Isn't the Xtreme basically an appearance and suspension package? there's a difference between it and the lightning, and a BIG one too.

Yeah, sad aint it? just on the GT's defense, It's had the same power rating since 99. Most of the cars you're talking about are all new and 03 models. A more powerful GT is just around the corner. Hopefully ford will give it power north of 300.

Looks like its

Vette vs. the world (for now)
at least soon we will have the GTO in there. But the vette is doing a good enough job of beating all of those Fords til the Camaro comes back.
