    Best comparison is a 302 vs 305 from the late 80's to early 90's.

    This may come as a shock, but some people like to do more than go faster in a straight line with their car. Hell some knuckleheads would even pay more for a stylish new car with current technology verses a creaky old shitbox built on a 30 year old fairmont chassies.

    You think a 408 SBF Windsor costs 20K to build and make fast??
    Or did I read that wrong?

    My 20 year old tech is the newest "hot rod" I have ever owned....lol!

    My last car was a 64 Fairlane, now that's a "shitbox" as you called it.
    My 93 feels "modern", besides, anybody can go buy a floor model.
    Push rod engines rule!!!

    If you think that 408 is impressive you should see what an LS based 408 runs like! Haha I had to say it, good runs and nice cars.

    You ford guys are getting all laid back anymore, figured that would be good for a couple pages of anti-chevy venom!
