I don't insult or disrespect people as a rule. Ignorant humans I have no qualms about calling them as they are.

Or would you prefer that there be no use of adjectives in our vocabulary? Using them without cause would be an insult, I am simply describing his attitude/behaviour

Let's keep it civil, please. I really would rather not have to mop up a thread, this morning.

Insulting people for being ignorant and then refusing to admit it was an insult is, in fact, ignorant.....Please dial it down, and that goes for everyone here, thanks.

No problem sir, but to be clear and it will be the last I'll comment on the matter, context is everything. A word is only an insult when used out of context; i.e saying water is wet is a statement.

Or better yet, moved to the "VS" section.

Here is the real ranking that I think we all know is true...if it is on the internet, then it is true correct? lol.

This is old news I know, but, driving mine yesterday does make me feel good. Don't care what anyone says about "feelings" or stats.

If you want to get technical...

As to point A. No, its not. Incidentally, Lingenfelter made a flat plane engine in 2010-2011.

B. That is also untrue. Lingenfelter's was 358 CID or 5.8 L

C. I don't think you can claim this either, unless of course you're psychic but even then I don't think it's true.

While I will give you the FPC is unique in an American Production Car, I think a lot of people are falling for the hype. So, unless Ford figured out how to beat the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, and others who have been making FPCs for decades in the span of a couple (three?) years of engineering and development, I'd say it's a bit too soon to call it a winner. The extra crankshaft mass, to offset vibration, could be an Achilles heal at higher RPM.

Time will tell with how long the engine holds up under normal everyday use. Until then this car could go either way in the history books.

I am glad you are enjoying your car though, that's what we all really want.

It is not an FPC, but anyone can take the base Mustang and turn it into a pseudo GT350 for a lot less....rip out the back seat, 8000+ rpm screamer, with a lot more horsepower.

Interesting stuff. I will admit, Ford did their homework with their ported heads and intake manifold, very nice.

I'm quite civil, some apparently just need to work on their understanding of diction.
But the posts you speak of were not on this site. It was on the Rustang6g site. He was not rude, he was not ignorant to you on this site. So you saying he was ignorant as a greeting ("Hello Ignorant individual ") was rude and ignorant and out of context on this site.

If you would have posted it on the stang site, it would make sense, and I am sure you did.

Rhetorical question, I know the answer lol
She taught me smart money mechanics. Didn't your mama ever teach you not to spend $5,000 more than you have to? Don't answer that, we all know she didn't.

And you're sitting here calling me ignorant because what? Because I called you out on paying ADM which you did? Because I praised the ZL1 for beating the GT350R in every performance category which it did? What exactly did I say that makes me "ignorant"? What did I say that got you soo heated that you not only went over to YOUR site to talk trash about me, but then came over here, started a profile, and then proceeded to insult me here? LOL!! What does it matter what I think about your GT350R? You proudly talk about how you paid $5,000 above MSRP and you'd do it all over again and you could have bought a Viper and a Z06 for that money...yet what I say matters soo much that you started a profile to bang heads with me? Yet you guys over there keep talking about how much you all love your GT350Rs and how everyone is soo in love with them and how they are soo awesome that people gladly overpay for them and how ZL1s don't sell unless there are discounts and how the ZL1 is nothing special and will depreciate and blah blah blah...I personally wouldn't even pay MSRP for a GT350R BTW. But what does my opinion matter to you man? LOL, I don't really care, I'm just pointing out the kind of person you are.
