Your going to end up getting ripped for your girl drive comment, but that doesn’t make it any less funny.[/quote]

no offense to anyone but isnt it so true for the most part. some chicks can drive but alot just get their parents to buy them a nice car and think they can race. true for many guys as well. they get on my nerves so much. stupid preps why dont they actually earn something then they can brag about it. i wish ford would trash the focus and get a nicer looking compact sports car. they are so ugly. i wish toyota would actually get a sports car of any kind. cant leave toyota fans hanging like that.

Re: SRT-4, and the Cheap performance FAD?

I just want to say that cheap performance is in no way a fad. Since people started driving cars they have been looking for ways to go fast for as little money as possible.

you can only have two of the three: fast, cheap, or reliable.

You're right, but you can have fast, inexpensive, and reliable. That is what the SRT-4 is. There is a huge difference between cheap and inexpensive.

What Cobra are we talking about? If it's the older ones yeah they'll run with them. The '03 though will rip the SRT-4 a new asshole.

I love Camaros... I love Mustangs too! I'd drive a 5.0 anyday over any FWD "1mP0rT tUneR y0" car.

I'll take [true] American Iron over a Japanese wannabe car for sure.

I remember reading someones description: "Imports sound like an angry bee with sand in it's vagina"

I concur

Agreed.

But the ONLY thing on the SRT-4 that isn't cheap is the motor.

A Cobra WOULD pull away that fast. Do you have any idea how much they put out with just like $3000 in mods?
