CHEVY VS. FORD THE SAGA CONTINUES

stng87 · 05-03-2001, 07:20 AM

Well I must admitt that I was a slight bit put off back in the day when i realized that the comaros make that extra 30-40 hp. I was like WTF?? I wondered why ford would put its mustang owners behind the 8 ball from the start. But what you have to realize is that the manufacturer doesn't give a youknow what about who has more HP or who wins a street race out of the factory. All they care about is the sales of the end product. And UNIT, correct me if I am wrong,

but supposedly the mustangs still outsell the comaros and the firebords combined so there's no real reason for ford to make any changes in power output or whatnot.
And this makes sense to me because I way way more mid-late age women driving late model mustangs which prior to this discovery, perplexed me greatly.
Oh and 5.0Killer......Welcome to the board
