blah blah blah blah blah.

The only comment I'me even going to bother point out is MArs_302's "Euro trash"

This is the sort of comment I was trying to step on before it started earlier when I mentioned we are all pretty much europeans unless we've got Indian heritage...

Seriously WTF is this 'euro trash' comment all about? You sound like Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell, who are both xenophobic senial old men who are so insecure about something better that they have to put it down...

What's your family heritage, English? German? Italian? Russian?

Any country in Europe has plenty to be proud of and it's a goddamn shame that Americans are too proud to recognize that they've been beat. There was a time when domestic stuff here was comparable to the stuff back on the other side of the pond. It's long since past and I'm eagerly awaiting the return. Until then, going elsewhere for my wants id the best way to encourage the powers here in the US to wake up and build something decent.

Going back to the topic of this thread, I was honestly excited about the new mustang before specs were released. It looked good, was reportedly built on the Lincoln LS platform, and was supposed to use a new family of Ford V8's. So I was expecting a mustang with double wishbones at all 4 corners, a new generation of the Lincoln/Jaguar DOHC V8, maybe something like a 4.2, which could connect back to Ford's 255ci V8's of yester-year. And finally we would have a Pony car to be proud of.

But as someone who wants to be an American enthusiast, I was let down yet again. Ford actually spent money to undesign the greatness of the LS chassis. They ruined it with a solid axle rear (for fucks sake what year IS IT!?!?!), and then decided that the superior Jaguar/LS V8's were too good for a Mustang and went back to the old Modular. But wait, the modular didn't fit with the double wishbones, so they scrapped that and went to struts...

You'd think somewhere in this lunacy some engineer would have stopped and said, 'wait, WTF are we doing, lets just save money and do it the right wany anyway' But no, no such level-headedness could ever prevail at Ford...

I thought things had changed in the new millenium, I was wrong, and thats why:

Ford = fail
