**MERCURY CAPRI OWNERS INSIDE!**

[FrankenStang]

Official rollcall.

Post up if you own one and if you are interested in a Capri specific sub-forum in 5.0 Talk.

Non-Capri owners are welcome to vote too.

(No derailing)

 

[strtrcr50]

Well, I DID have something to say, then I saw this..

(No derailing)

With that being said, is there really that much of a difference between the two that it would warrant it's own forum? You might end up missing people posting in your threads that wouldn't go into a capri only forum.

 

[LaserSVT]

No

 

[Mustang78]

i say go for it, even though there probably wont be much traffic there. If you wanna talk capri then FEP is the place to be(hey that rhymes)

 

[Beasty306GT]

No..this is a mustang website

 

[ryan218]

I own a 81 Mercury Capri RS and i looking to up grade the suspension and i was goin to start with the struts and springs. what would the best setup for that car. i dont want it to be slammed but alittle lower than stock. Maybe like just a 1inch drop tops. and make the front and rear at a even stance??

This has nothing to do with the topic of this thread. Moved to it's own thread.

I say keep Capri threads mixed in 5.0 tech and talk. I think they are interesting threads and I probably would forget to check a new Capri thread if they were in their own section.

My $.02

 

[EPIK]

Keep it in the regular 5.0 section... I like Capri's & I would forget to check for new threads as well if it was in a seperate section... For instance, i have an 03 Mach 1, & I rarely ever check out the Mach 1 subforum since its sooooo dead in there.... I did vote yes, because I would be interested, but I would rather it be in the regular 5.0 section....

 

[LaserSVT]

Epik has a good point. I never go to the SVT section eaither cause its always dead. I didnt even know we had a Mach1 section

 

[FrankenStang]

There's a reason why I posted this poll. I said, "No derailment" FOR A REASON.

Please only post you're reason for voting yes or no and whether or not you're a Capri owner.

 

[timeless2]

On topic or ban.

 

[GTOreturns]

I don't think they are, or ever were popular enough to warrant their own room. They are pretty much covered here in 5.0 Talk/Tech.

 

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

I don't own one, but a good example why not to....I needed some opinions on a good wheel cleaner, so i posted about it in Show and Shine or whatever it is, and after 2 days i had zero replies and only a handful of views. I then posted it in 5.0 Talk and minutes later i got a ton of replies. I just don't think there's a huge enough demand for it. It'd be like an SSP only forum...there just aren't enough people to traffic it.

 

[timeless2]

Keep the opinions coming, mates. Honesty is appreciated.

It seemed relevant to the topic at hand

And no, I dont own a Capri. My point was that too many sub forums just end up getting ignored. SVT section is dead and I just saw Mach1 section and that has less threads then that other place
Its good to have somewhat of a mish mash of same but different Stangs in each forum.

 

[timeless2]

Good feedback.

 

[Darkwriter77]

No.

Only differences between Capri and Mustang models are strictly cosmetic; mechanically, they have identical 5.0 motors, trannies, rear ends, and everything else. I don't see the point in creating a separate tech forum strictly for Foxes that only have different bumpers, fenders, hoods, sail panels, hatches (on the '85-'86 models only), and interior trim items; as far as a non-tech Capri forum, I honestly don't believe there are enough Capri owners on here to warrant it, either.

Sorry.

Mustang's = horse.

Capri's = shorts.
