I don't but given your thoughts on false advertisement you might.
You are just the honest broker around here aren't you.


I'm wondering if you spend as much time holding other car owners as accountable as you do us...

Must be your GM Pride coming through in your posts...

Might want to read the last part of that post over again.
given the user's current example of false advertisement, I replied with a real world example in which HE not I would think also applies.

I never took a position on false advertising. I never really saw the value in HP being such a big part of advertising... I tend to think 0-60 or 1/4 mile or slalom times or skid pad times were a much better assessment of a car's performance.

I'm commenting on your relentless pursuit of accuracy where us Camaro owners are concerned.

I'm trying to figure out if you should be commended for holding us and yourself to such a high standard or ban you for being a troll.

Not to rain on your guys' parade, but a couple mags have just tested the new V-6 stang and found it out-performed the V-6 'maro (It was something like a half-second quicker to 60; don't forget about the weight advantage!). You also didn't get the real point of the commercial; they're claiming to have the first 305-hp motor to make 31mpg.... Anyway, I could care less since I bought an SS and once I swap in my 4.10 gears, I won't be worried.

I couldn't be happier that Ford is responding in the way they are. The fact that the mustang is getting all this new capability is a good thing for everyone.

You have to admit, the video is really well done and the car is pretty hot.

If the Camaro never returned I'd buy that one

@unfair. i was referring to how ford is advertising the mustang as the FIRST 305 HP V6 which is not true since the camaro's V6 has 312 horsepower before the mustang did. not true = false putting it into advertisement = false advertising. this is all i am saying. i have litteraly no idea what your talking about when you say GM is giving false advertisments as well :/ also i was asking a question not stating a fact.

Ohhh see... why did you have to make it personal...

My ban hammer doesn't make me strong... It's my ability to have witty banter with people like you who are so amazingly more intelligent then the rest of us that I am proud of. (forgive my run on sentence, I'm sure you knew it would be grammatically incorrect before you finished reading it.)

I shouldn't even be in the same thread as you....

Or better yet.

I'll do what makes me strong on the internet, and you do what makes you feel intelligent on the internet.
