Since Chevy fans like to talk about Ford being crap, I thought I'd share a true story.

When dad was looking for a new car he wanted an IROC Z-28 before a 5.0. Well he went to the Chevy dealer and got everything he wanted, excpet, the standard transmission. The dealer told him, "We're sorry but Chevy's fuel injection system can't handle a standard 5-speed like you'd like. We can promise you that you'll get a nice top of the line automatic though!"
Dad didn't want an automatic though, he wanted a standard. He went over to a Ford dealer and asked them for the same options as he had asked for with the Chevy dealer. They told him they could do everything including the 5-speed he wanted. Dad says he has never looked back since then and is happier that he went with the 5.0.
He also says that because two months after he got the 5.0 an IROC met him on the road. I think you all know how that turned out because afterwards he was even happier with the car he went with.
