i hate fords!!!! they suck!!!! they are the most expensive and the most complicated to fix!!!!! and when peole say ford stands for fix or repair daily they arent lieing!!! where chevy is cheap simple and now leading the race!!!



And Chevrolet stands for....

Cracked
Heads
Every
Valve
Ruined
Oil
Leaks
Every
Time

and....

Constantly
Having
Every
Vehicle
Recalled
Over
Lousy
Engineering
Techniques

I'm a Ford guy at heart but it doesn't matter if it's Ford, Chevy, Dodge, or an import.... It's great when they run and crap when they don't!

Is that anything like, "Found On Road Dead"?

or

"Move Over, Pontiacs Are Racing" ?

Status: offline 		That my be true, but it still takes a lot of know how to get 400-500hp out of a 4 banger just as it takes skill to restore an old rust bucket into a cool hot rod. Imports are not realy my thing but I can respect what they can do with one.

Status: offline 		400 isnt that hard, just a little $$$, 500 takes a bit of tunning skills, the 600+ out of a b series honda engine is where the skilled tuners chill, glad i decided to shoot for about 500 instead of 650 like I had the parts for, trans wouldn't have held...

Status: offline 		I guess I'm sort of resurecting this thread, but here it goes....

There is no replacement for displacement! That means I'm gonna have to go with hot rods. My opinion is that ahot rod is a pre '64 though... so lots of the cars mentioned before were muscle cars. My favorite car is still a '69 Charger R/T though, lol.
