Had all i read been car and driver i would have kept commenting on how out of date the solid rear axle platform is...all i did was ask a question, not comment on how i hate the car etc.... the only reason this came up was because i have heard quite a few people bitch about the METAL shaker hood, and its out of the way ducting! availability etc... its garbage... plenty of cars are deemed rare, and i see em every day.... funny, id get eaten by one of these... my RESEARCH shows numerous clockings of 5.2 seconds to 60 mph... funny, not ....

how about the 13 inch front brembo rotors, or the 11.7 rears..
no one mentioned the tokico shocks with 35 mm pistons front, and 30 mm rear....

i quote from car and driver for you all that seem to think i felt it pertinent...

"The Mach 1 has a shamelessly archaic twist: a semi-legitimate shaker air scoop that sprouts like a Maya ziggurat through the hood. We say semi-legit because the shaker only supplies a portion of the induction volume through a tube so winding it needs arrows to show the air where to go."

semi legitimate? hmm... sounds like pure performance to me~

im not the one who originally mentioned the 30 k pricetag... i wouldnt have even thought about it~

now, if you think im bashing the car, fine... i could give a shit less... but had you taken it for what it was to begin with, the mess here would have beem averted!

Now, all i did was ask a question, as in the justification of the 30 k sticker, and you know what, the "archaic twist" is pretty much the underpinnings of the GT! so far off i wasnt.. so it has a different pillar, and some rims, and gauges etc... these things justified the cost to you... but obviously not me, seeing how little i care....
now, had someone here jumped in the subaru forum and said why does the STi cost 30 k and a wrx down to 22-23.... and i had replied with shut the fuck up bullshit... you would have jumped down my throat.... no wonder lots of people have a bad view of mustang guys... i have no problem with the car, nor did i ! i think i even mentioned how i like the hood!

people criticize the hell out of my car.. i could care less... they are high limelight cars.. you couldnt just see i was asking and i might have been slightly impressed if anyone could have told me this without being an

sorry your hood is metal, and you have some different pillars and shit, could have just told me that right? and if i was so naive did you ever wonder why my main concern was the new cobra? although i have seen those go for almost 40! :o wait wait, let me guess.. someone is going to tell me that the 40 k is for more than some wheels a hood and a blower... oh yeah, IRS too...

take it easy ford boys, i wasnt cutting the car down, it sounds like a pretty nice car, although in light of this it gets less credit than i would have given it had there been no attack!
