The Chevy vs. Ford thing is timeless...it's been a topic forever, and it will continue to be. Frankly -- I think it should be Chevy + Ford vs. the
Imports. They are...the unbeatable team. What one doesn't have, the other does -- and their quality, etc is impeccable. :flag2:

Most comfortable car I have ever been in was a 72 Thunderbird with a 460.

OMG driving it on a trip was like floating on air.

What get's me is the stuff about Ford "beating" to the LOT with cars or the constant GT500 comparisons. When GT500's market competition is the Corvette.

So that's why. When a flea bites the dog the dog tries to chew the flea off.

And Ford has a 275 hp V6 as well without DI, which if/when it recieves it I'm sure will make over 300 hp as well. And their V6 ecotec makes over 350 hp.

In the end they can all make engines basically of equal caliber. This debate is stupid.

i agreeee.
i was saying that because of the first argument of how chevy requires more displacement. i was just defending chevy, not attacking ford.

and since the internal combustion engine is basically the same as it has for for decades, i think if this is just based on engine output, it will be a tie.

in todays auto industry, its about getting the performance numbers up, with a fair price. imo.

How come nobody says anything about pushrod engines being "archaic" but as soon as the solid rear axle is brought up it's instantly "archaic"...? hi pot calling the kettle the pot

ShnOmac · 04-20-2009, 07:06 PM

So is it the kettle or the pot you like to stir stuff up in......

have you checked the title of the thread and what forum it's in before you made your post sir?

hollywoodGU · 04-20-2009, 07:43 PM

idk maybe this thread got taken the wrong way but it wasnt to cause arguments are saying i agree with it...it was more to point out how stupid it is...like Vash said the only thing that irritates me with the ford boys is how they try to compare the Mustang GT 500 to thhe Camaro SS

Don't fight your cousin--fight the crazy person lving down the street that revs for little kids playing in their yard

Team up. Get rid of the imports.

Then we can go back to hating each other.

I own a Dodge truck, Pontiac T/A, Ford GT and soon a Chevy and I think your right.... all vehicle manufactures can build fast and powerful cars. Plus it doesn't matter what the manufacture or you buy/build...... there's always someone out there that is gonna be faster, quicker or powerfull!

gotpball44 · 04-21-2009, 03:20 AM

I dunno, its just me, but i dont think its all about the horsepower wars, even though the v8 in a mustang is weak in horsepower sense (IMO 315? V8? Camaros v6 makes almost that and nissan 370 v6 makes more than that)

But where i think chevy is better is at an all around performing motor. Cause you get awesome gas mileage with great amount of power still. Ford and dodge could make the same horsepower, but no where near the same MPG chevy has.
