Why....because one of us didn't move it the instant it was posted in the wrong section? Patience my friend, there are only a limited amount of us (Moderators) on at a time and we've got a lot of board to cover. It's in Talk now, so don't get so worked up about it.

Negative.

Look at my cousin's friend, Olin Kreutz, all-pro for the Steelers. He is by no means "big," as far as NFL size standards go when you compare him to other centers. But, he uses strength, quickness, brains, and TECHNIQUE (which=skill) to be the best.

He's cool in my book just for being on the Steelers.

No no not the time it take to move a bad thread. I totally understand that there only a few of you guys. It just made me think of the "Tech has been crappy lately" thread.


Sorry for the confusion. Keep up the good work

I wish the new body styled stang wasn't so heavy. Why is the GT 500 4000lbs. That is just crazy.

The Shelby is heavy because of the 5.4 4V and SC. My 05 GT with a full tank of gas and full weight with no driver is lighter than my friends 04 Mach 1 with a full tank of gas and full weight with no driver. The cars were on the exact same truck scale on the same day, minutes apart. My car has these options:

4.6L 3V
5 Spd TR 3650
IUP
Active anti-theft
Leather seats
Shaker 500
Bullitt wheels
Side Airbags

The Mach 1 has every option available in 04. The 05+ GT's are not as heavy as people are making them out to be...

LOL.... no skill to play football.. I am big ( 290 pounds) and unskilled maybe I can play for the pats next year.. Hell that would be a hell of a lot better than swinging wrenches..




I bet my 10+ seconds in the 40 and zero ability to change directions while running or the fact that a pro lineman could probably pick me up and toss me in the stands might hurt my chances. Hell even a junior collage running back could make me miss a tackle by at least 5 yards

Ford lists the GT500's curb weight at 3,920 pounds in coupe form and 4,040 pounds for the convertible. That's about 400 pounds more than the equivalent Mustang GT.

Well since I'm a Fox guy having a 3500lb + vehicle before you even get a driver in it in todays world is a heavy car. They should have been able to lighten the thing up.
