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.

did you know the 2010 gt500 gets 23mpg with 540 hp?

IMO ford never gave the mustang more power because it didnt make a difference in sales... so it didnt really matter... 200 or 500 hp it sold and thats what their business is... i doubt they care about muscleheads that buy cars for HP as much as the general public...

I don't know if people would even call me a Chevy boy because my third faverite car (behind the 69 RS SS Camaro and 69 Z-28) is the 67 Cougar. So i guess what im trying to say is im not one of the ignorant Bowtie boys who thinks chevy or GM is the only company that has put out a decent car

There's one pretty simple theory that explains reason behind arguments between Import&Muscle drivers or Chevy&Ford or V6&V8...

i agree with that on the Chevy/Ford...maybe even the 6/8 but i dont think there are SMALL difference between muscle and import...basically the only similarity is the fact they are a mode of transportation on four wheels

I hate agreeing with the Ford guys, but this is a ridiculous debate. Engineering for either company is above par. Let's go back to bashing something un-American, like communism.

I totally agree with the last part of this statement!!! I dont hate agreeing with the FORD guys because unlike most on here I'm a car guy primarily American car guy!! Most people give me crap but hey thats what I am. I also like Chevys and Fords but my next car will be a FORD after all these years of driving GM's I am not happy where the company is now and completely unhappy with its socialistic moves aka G-ovt M-otors! So I have decided to go FORD. Does it make me a hater no, does it make me a basher no. It makes me an American with the freedom to choose and the freedom to support what I want and not be told otherwise. Chevy and Ford are American staples and if one buys one or the other they should be applauded! For my own personal reasons and my own personal tastes I have decided against the Camaro , but I will not defame it or defame those who love it. I respect that and what the Camaro means to them. As I dont believe we should defame Ford drivers. We are all americans trying to do what is best for America!!! God Bless Ford and GM and God bless America!!! Now back to your regularly scheduled programming!
