Ok well let's really get down to it.
GM offers more
Ford-mustang,svt focus....wow lots of high performance there
GM-T/A,camaro,Grand Prix,G8,GTO,newer cobalts (t/c), and probably more I'm forgetting. So there it is, GM has more high performance cars. I'm missing alot but idc my personal opinion is that GM is a better company and makes better cars. Ever been in a mustang? Plastic EVERYTHING. Call me ignorant but I could care less. My opinion
Btw, reviewers prefer the ss to the gt500 (car&driver)
That's why they are struggling from their currentQuote:

From a performance standpoint who cares? Oh boy ford has great milage cars! That's why they aren't bankrupt, they lose everything. Toyota wins in mpg, gm wins performance. And all ford does is add **** to the mustang. How bout thinkin outside the box and make a NEW car?
Fords so bad they are making money again and Pontiac just went under.......yup ford sucks ass.
They are just star struck, give them time and you'll see the true colors.Quote:

i actually had an 86 mustang as my first car, and i hated it. i love my prix now, and i just think too many people have mustangs...
Duse I'm just tired of people thinking ford is the almighty car manufacturer when they aren't...only thing they have going for them is mike rowe lol
Look at it this way, for the highest performance GM offers the Corvette, Dodge had the Viper, and Ford has the Mustang. The corvette and viper are on the same level but the mustang is compared to the camaro and challenger, GM and Dodge's runners up. So ford's best performance car is compared to GM and Dodge's second best.
FYI, when Top Gear had the GT500 they put it on a dyno. Got 440hp out of it, not 500
there is only one mustang that is worth buying: terminator.
Agreed^
Here's a quick list I came up with say..from the mid to late 80's until now. I didn't include EVERY model version (IROC, RS, Firebird, etc etc etc) because, well...that's just dumb. ;)
GM/Chevrolet/Pontiac
Corvette
G8 GT
GTO
Grand National (I'm so sorry, dear baby Jesus, I hope you can forgive me)
Trans Am WS6
Camaro SS
Malibu SS
Grand Prix GTP
Cobalt SS
Cavalier Z24
Fiero GT
Sprint Turbo (yes...I said it)
Truck/SUV
Trailblazer SS
Silverado SS
Typhoon
Cyclone
454 SS (wow...that took me back...) :)
Dodge/Jeep
Viper
Challenger SRT/8
Charger SRT/8
SRT/4
Shadow Turbo
Daytona Turbo
Omni GLH (freaky little sleeper, actually)
Truck/SUV
Ram SRT8
Cherokee SRT8
Ford
GT
Mustang SVT Cobra
Mustang GT (Shelby, Roush)
Taurus SHO
Contour SVT
Probe GT (yes, that just happened)
Escort GT (yes, that too, just happened)
Truck/SUV
Lightning
Roush F150 (does this even count??)
So - call it re-badging, over-branding...whatever; but GM/Chevy/Pontiac have produced far more mainstream "performance" cars than any other domestic company.
I need 800mg of ibuprofen now...and some Pepto Bismal...bleh.
