What a sad day
 

Ok...this one kinda got to me. I was browsing through the new issue of Muslce Mustangs and Fast Fords (one I'm sure you guys pick up often) and I noticed something that made me laugh/cry. A guy wrote in complaining that Tauruses/Mercury Sables had the same power potential as a Mustang. Keep in mind, his arguement was that a MODIFIED Taurus/Sable could make as much power as a STOCK V6 Mustang (not the loftiest of goals, is it? My trucks' V6 makes as much power as a stock Mustang). Now, I applaude anyone's interest in making their car more powerful...but how would you guys like it if there was a letter in a Honda/Import magazine that complained that they didn't cover enough Kias or Hyundais because they could make as much power as a stock Civic Ex when they were modified. Jesus, if you want a fast car, buy one with potential. Sorry...I just had to vent. This is absolutley pathetic.

Edit: I'd like to also note this is made even more pathetic as Ford has announced it has built it's 100,000,000th V8 motor. ;(

yea dude the tarus SHOs are right on up there... but still thats messed up..

dumb shit

dude, my lawn mower could make as much power as your go kart if i modded it...sweet... :rolleyes:

Yea, I've beaten a few V6 Mustangs... that's a pretty low goal.

I've beaten a lot of V6 Mustangs. Very....VERY...low goal.

He wasn't talking about the SHOs...they didn't use a 3.8L V6. They used a Yamaha-tuned 3.2L or something like that. Then the later automatic models used a small 3.?L V8. Those things do have some potential, but why brag that if you threw a couple thousand bucks at your car you could be making a whopping 190hp (if you're lucky)? Just sad sad sad. And you guys are right...V6 Mustangs are a VERY low goal.

:rolleyes:
