pony-inspired said:THAT JUST PROVES HOW SLOW THE LIGHTENING IS. I mean come on, its freaking supercharged for god's sake, it should do better.
No, Im not talking about sales or looks. Im talking performance- acceleration, handling, etc. Im not sure on which diesel is best ford7.4 or gm 8.1. Diesels aint my thing, their just expensive noisemakers in my book.
Now, line up a late 90's 5.7 chevy against a ford 5.4 and you'll see what I mean. I will admit, ford has some impressive stuff, but having to supercharge a lightening or mustang , just to get it running slightly quicker than gm's N/A stuff is not impressive. Neither is their cheap "F/X" stickers and the such.
And I DO agree the new chevy look sucks but they still outperform ford's stuff.
You are crazy if you think the Lightning is slow, thats just ridiculous !! I'm not even sure why that is in this topic.
Anyway on topic, Ford has done things right. They built a good car for a good price and it has built it's own huge aftermarket. Ford would be stupid to build every Mustang with superchargers, big brakes, suspension components,etc... The aftermarket helps Ford continue to sell cars and the last time I checked there was no Camaro or Firebird.
