Stang|ess said:That's MotoRex's price after they do the DOT stuff to it. It was really closer to $40k in Japan.
san~man said:Blasphemy? Because I disproved what another member stated? That I said that the Skyline motor isn't a POS like he said it was. Give me a break. Most of you fools just can't admit that there are cars that are light years ahead as far as engineering, power output and design. Again, leaving out looks, which are purely subjective.
Am I a ricer because I would opt to take a superior car over our beloved Mustang? Please....
The sad facts are:
1. Other than looks, our car (2V) doesn't offer much stock (99-04). 260HP out of 4.6L. Jesus, talk about inefficiency.
2. The suspension takes a crap load of money to make it handle anywhere close to decent.
3. The motor is heavy and doesn't put out much power given it's size.
4. The build quality is terrible.
5. The chassis design is over 30 years old.
6. Weight..nuff said.
Why do I say this? For one, I've gone through 1 O2 sensor, 2, yes TWO, cylinder heads due to faulty plug design, and countless dollars to get 5-10 hp.
Do I love my car, of course. If not, I wouldn't be a mod here. But the sad fact is that it isn't all conquering.
Ummm, i hope you realize i was kiddin with him as usual lolsan~man said:Keep it up and you'll be banned.

svttech76 said:The 4.6 mustang gets good marks on relaibility.. I see a lot of mustangs and most are damm good considering they get abused.. if you want lets pull the warenty history of a bunch of gt's and see just how bad they are. ( I can get the full warenty history on any ford)
plus you can buy 3 mustang gt's for the price of a skyline.. so how is this fair.
san~man said:I'm sure they may Mike, and ya, maybe I got a "Friday" car.
All I intended in my response is that the Skyline motor wasn't a POS like stated. Of course it isn't a "fair" comparison, but it's the comparison that was was justified to make a point.
The comparison between the GT motor and the Skyline motor was also justified IMO.
