A Celica, that's it. Lets see what I can come up with. Comparing a Top of the line 2003 Celica GTS 6-speed against a base model 1999 Stang GT Automatic. These are both in the same price bracket, the Celica gets gas mileage of 23/30 (City/Highway) while the Stang gets 18/26. Not much difference that I can see. So price and gas mileage we can throw out. Slow is what the Celica is. The Celica gets 0-60mph in 6.6sec and the 1/4 mile is 14.9@94, while the Stang runs 5.5sec and the 1/4 mile is 14.1@99. So how do you get that Ford is slow? You must be comparing an Escort to a Supra. Which a Cobra will perform as well as a Supra, while the Saleen would leave the Supra behind like it was sitting still. You need to base your information on facts, not opinions or hear say. I don't go around trying to bash Chevy's or Toy's without some actual facts to support my claim. Otherwise it just makes you look like a fool that doesn't know what they are talking about. Have you ever driven a Ford? Most people that bash other makes is due to their ignorance. Talk is all you have, I want some actual specs and numbers that show how Ford is slow? So far everyone I've spoke to regarding this, has never been able to produce facts. Everyone has their own taste in vehicles, whether it may be a truck or car, a Toy or Ford. It's horrible that people assume so much about a car they have never driven or even know about. Hope you had a fun time learning that I can find a Ford (even old Ford) that will compete agaisnt anything you can throw at me. Thanks for your time!
