any car with 600 at the wheels running a 12 has either got traction problems in every single gear or its a.... SUPRA lol

c6 z06 runs 11s and has 505hp... granted its an exceptional car... but it still should give you the idea

I loved both my gt and my cobra. They were better riding, better driving, MUCH easier to work on, and cheaper to mod than my trans am. I've only done springs, shocks/struts, and gears and im already fed up with GM engineering. When i did springs shocks and struts on my mustang it took me 2 hours. Its taken me a week on my trans am because the threaded part at the top of both struts snapped in two while trying to remove them, so i had to order new struts. On a 58k mile car with very very little wet driving. Not to mention i had to remove the master cylinder just to get to one bolt, which i had to buy a wrench for because of the damn torx. I once wanted a Corvette after my TA, but after working on it compared to my Ford-engineered mustangs, i'll save up for a Terminator.

:end rant

You know I never had as much problems out of Ford as I do out of Chevys ..... I may have bought the Fords I had in better shape ... But still had to do more work on the Chevy ..

Well, Supra's are a well known dino queen.

Other than that. If your seeing 600rwhp cars going 12's, more than likely they dont have the suspension to match. A decent driver with 600 rwhp will net you less than 12's in lower altidue setting's. Granted the suspension to match. I have no respect for most supra's. They can claim thier 700 cattle, but those cattle are some crippled ass disease ridden bitch's.

+1 well said.

yeah, try pulling up on the fender and kicking the jack under next time

Thanks pricks. It was a Ford explorer. Sidewalls are around 5" inches! I dunno who's strong enough to lift a 4-5k pound vehicle 5" by themselves. Engineering stupidity, pure and simple. The frame and suspension was too low to the ground for the included bottle jack to fit with a full flat. Had to go get a scissor jack (not included with the Ford) to get under the frame.

Ah, I was under the impression it was a scissor jack

i had an s10 zr2 and the factory jack wouldnt even touch the torsion bar fully extended. hell it wouldnt even touch the bottom of the door. kinda pointless....

this is what i don't understand about mustangs and their owners. the cars sell like frickin hotcakes no matter how many are on the road. the f-body beat them on performance hands down but didn't sell nearly as many units. everyone raves about their stang gt and how awesome it is even when it gets smoked by a stock z/28/formula.

what gives? massive brainwashing? just plain naive? retarded?

Been that way ever since the 87 IROC 350 came out...

Every magazine comparison between the 2 back then always pitted the 305 TPI against the 302 FI

I recall Motor Trend did a 350TPI against the 5.0 FI and even after the 350 IROC cleaned the rustangs clock in EVERY catagory, they STILL concluded the rustang was the better car

But that was OK...me and my buddy proved MT wrong nearly every Friday and Saturday night back in the day
