more crap in one place than a fertilizer factory ~~ and thats from both sides.. Whoever said chevy cant engineer is an idiot.. would you say the Z06 is poorly engineered?? and you act like the LS1 is the same 350 chevy has been making for decades when it was only recently COMPLETELY redesigned.. it is consistently rated as one of the 10 best engines in the world (by hemmings?).. it is underrated by GM (as opposed to Ford over-rating theirs ~ remember the 99&2k Cobras.. and the bullit).. The Z06 smacked the Cobra R all over the place and it has little things like A/C.. a radio.. insulation.. and its 10's of thousands cheaper..

As for Mustangs they in many was superior to fbodies.. they are easier to live with on a daily basis.. easier to get in and out of.. cheaper to insure.. and they have a SLIGHLY better build quality.. ive read several "consumer report" type mags and some rate the mustang better this ways.. others not.. both cars have crappy seats. fbody rears are a weaklink but they do seem to handle up to 420rwhp without breaking.. one can not expect stock parts to handle mod increased HP.. I love Mustangs.. I love Camaros (SS).. I hate the "my car is better than your car" stuff.. thats why guys with older car seem so much more mature.. they look at fords, chevys, dodge, etc and like them all for what they are.. American Muscle Cars.. Ford and GM are both a couple of modern companies ran by accountants.. they lost most of their desire to compete against each other long ago..

Oh.. and the HP per Liter argument is still a rice thing.. who care what your displacement is.. faster is faster.. remember that most fbods are under-rated and do well over 300hp at the rear wheels.. too bad we cant take the best atributes of each car and combine them.. hmmm..
