Dave..THERE YA GO AGAIN SAYING SUCKED!!!..If they sucked they wouldnt have outsold the F bodies....Poor performance is not dictated by HP alone....Besides acceleration the newer fox bodies cars outdid the F bodies in all areas except acceleration including quality and overall usefullness as a vehicle....And if we based a cars performance solely on acceleration..None of us would own SC's..No?In the end it seems Ford knew what it would take to sell cars while GM thought it was purely HP alone..Maybe back in the 60's..Not today..(I still dont see how the 96-98 Stang outsold the F bodies..Yet they did) Also teh SBF and Mod motors seemed to react better to modifications then their GM counterparts...Another great selling point for the hot rodder. The stang appealed to grandmas and hot roddders alike..
The new GTO is the car the F body should have turned into..However with the price as high as it is relative to performance it very well may not be a good seller....Will they even offer it with less then the v8 version?
Back to the Dodge...Seriously only time will tell..If we have this debate 5 years from now where would it be going?..In reality comparing the v10 pickup to a lightning is very much like comparing a Viper to a Cobra..However for much less an entry fee thethe Fords performance is on par and will react better to mods..Cheaper..
In the End Ford knows its performance market very well..
Recent Ford F ups..The marauder and the excursion. Two vehicles voted by JD Powers as Top class..Yet Ford cans them..Go Figure
