yawn.

You buy what you want, I buy what i want. You happy, me happy, we all happy.

There, happy? :)

You don't like having spirited conversation do you?:)

It's fun discussing this stuff. Thats why we join forums like this in the first place. That and all the good practical info you get!

Actually you could take that the bad way too. If I paid 17-22k for a car I would want people to know what it was. I would feel stupid if someone asked WTF kind of car is that. Especially when they just kicked my slow ass.

And I dont know how you can say the mustang sucks in stock form. Its only one of the top selling cars ever. This just sounds like SMALL CAR decease to me.

My Jack-a-Bee has small dog disease. He's a killer.

Look up the Top gear Vid of the New Stang driven by the stig keeping up with the Lotus Elise (the posterboy for handling and lightness) driven by clarkston (who is a decent driver) around the track then come tell me that muscle cars can't boogie!

The mustang didn't really keep up with the Elise and I would hardly consider Clarkston a decent driver. He is fun to watch but his driving skills are not par. Plus how much more power does the mustang pull on the elise. Now is he was driving the exige and the mustang was just as behind as it was with the elise than you can say that they can boogie. Even though I agree that it was a stupid match-up. The only american car that I believe that handles like a true sports car is the Corvette. Everything else is too heavy and not that stable. Americans usually go all power and nothing to keep it down. What I want to see as a match up is a Mustang V-8 with a Skyline. Now that is power to power.
 
You make valid points man but no one is asking that stangs and GTO's be called true sports cars, just asking that they get some respect from the crowd here who thinks they are crap and that our MSP's, MP3's and P5's are gods gift to handling!

we have FWD for crying out loud. We are OWNED on that account alone!

BTW: SALEEN S7, SHELBY COBRA, PANOZ ESPERANTE, ETC are other american sports cars.

And to be fair, Mustng Vs Skyine is not apples to apples either cuz one is
4WD and one is RWD.
 
yea but the way the differential is set the with a flip of a switch its RWD.

And yes there are many good american sports cars. And the new mustangs and GTO's are not bad. They aren't canyon or track cars by any means stock but they can be made to handle very well.

Now in the fwd world our cars do handle the best out there imo. And on the track I have seen the Protege keep up with many RWD cars such as the 350Z and a few others. And our cars can out turn a Subbie.

But in this case I would love to buy the new Shelby coming out. That is going to be a sick ass car.
 
worst part of driving the msp is massive torque steer, you pretty much lose all steerin feel and the steering gets all light in the slower twisties in when your powering out.
 
But that torque steer really has to do with the LSD. P5's have a different feeling in turns but the lsd changes everything. And personally I don't like it.
 
WOW!!!
mustangs are like assholes, everyone has one, HA HA HA!!!
People wake up! your MSP is just a moded protege! big f-ing deal.
I see just as many protege's as I do mustangs, and every other car on the road! I drive a MP3 and I love it, but I also drive a Trans Am WS6 and love it just as well, they are two totally different cars.
My MP3 handles on rails, but my WS6 has balls, but I don't get a big head about it.
The new shelby's are bad ass, I would drive one any day, I guess I'm an asshole! (first)

You know I have seen a stock Miata pass a cobra jet (rep.) with 500chp. Does that mean the corba jet is weaker car? Or could it mean that miata had a better driver and was able over take the weaker driver in the cobra jet. That was the case that weekend as the driver of the corba jet had never been on a road course before and so "he" was getting pwned by 120hp miata's. Of course when they hit the straights the cobra jet was gone. So lets do this, let's not talk about what we have seen, or what think, or what someone told you, or... the list could on and on. I state my opinoun on things that I have first hand knowledge of. If someone were to ask me what I thought of an STi I could recount couple of times I have driven one. If I were to be asked about an Evo I wouldnt have anything to offer because I havent had the chance to drive one. So I wouldnt go off spouting about how the Evo rulez and pwns all or talk s*** about it. Judging by the mindless comments made and generalizations most I find it hard to believe that most have first hand experience with the labeled "muslce car/domestic car". Think about time that you were driving down the road and some dueche yelled out ricer at you solely because you were driving a mazda/honda/toyota/whatever. It's the samething! Just as you think of someone being mindless for assuming that all japanesse car owners are all ricers and all have fake bov's I feel the same way about people that make general statements about something they dont know.....

Yea but I have driven those cars. I am not downing anything. I have driven both the Evo and the Sti and I can honestly IMO that the Evo is better hands down. I drove the new mustang and I like it. For fun I go to dealerships and drive cars. But not to many over 40k. They usually ask for credit checks so I say ok and walk out.

And yes it usually always comes down to the driver.
 
Noway. basically what he means is the stock STI is faster then both Exige and Ford GT with R comps.

Do you really know what torque steer is? Try living with a FWD with a V6 240+ hp. I'm just being a s***! :)
 
Agreed... that being said... how do you know what people do or do not know? You assume "we" or "us" have no knowledge and have only driven the MSP but in fact you have no clue. ?!? :bs:

I agree on the "it's usually the driver" comment also... nuff said there.

All those cars listed are straight line cars... I'd put my MSP on a road course track against any of them any day of the week and have them crying because their handling sucks

When you make comments like that in reference to cars such as the CTS-V, GTO and SRT-4, one starts to wonder how much experience you have had driving different cars.

You might just be misinformed but facts are facts.
 
CTS-V went around the Nurburgring faster then the M3, which pretty much is a bragging right when it comes to handling tests.
