i dont hate ford. i actually loveee some of the fords like the new Taurus SHO or the F-150 Raptor SVT. I'm a fan of Mustangs too. I told my bestie that if I had the money to own both the Monte Carlo & his green Mustang I would most def buy it lol

Im gonna try to get a pic next time I see him. That gunmetal paint is just outstandingly perfect with the wheels and low pros. I can actually say I love a ford... EWWWWW. Again, being bias.
EDIT: You just reminded me of that twin turbo taurus>> WOOOOOOWEEEEEEEE.

there are three types of thunder birds a turbo 4 cylender turbo cupe a supercharged 3.8 v6 and the v8 type to compete with the monte carlos the super charged v6 really reliable but only drawl back is the slave cylender for the clutch is finiky when the cluch is replaced. other than that and the coolent air bypass valve on it when you do a flush lets air out will lead you to believe there is a head problem when there isnt. do to air in the system of the v6 hence the several new redesign of there v6. i like ford and chevy i know a little more about ford then i do then chevy it is easy for me to hook a ford up then my two chevys. my monte is just a lost cause for performance only for looks but my silverado and my mustang gt are perfect.

Great info to know/learn, thanks.
So, supercoupe not supercharged as far as the "SC" symbol right?
And what the hell are they doing putting a 4 cylinder in there for? Yeah, its turbo'd but uhhhh...?

the new taurus is a mazda and ford designer concept from the mazda 6 engine with twin turbos standard for the sho. for the mazda 6 wich is the sister of the taurus has the performance pacage option at the dealer. but the new sho is really bad and a beautifull car just wish chevy gets off there bumbs and make the impalla the same way so us 7th gen guy's can reap from it. but to be honest i like to get a old monte or thunder bird body so i can put that engine and tranny in it that i pulled from my f-250

have them pop open the hood so to see a v6 in it because the supercoup some times came with both four cylender turbo wich is fast and the v6 supercharged. and some times people put them on a stock thunderbird do to them getting rear ended. so becarefull you will see supercharged on the piping and a really big supercharger like the ones on the supercharged monte carlos

Well, like I said, I can hear that thing whining... well I would call it screaming whenever he comes down the road at me. Kinda cool when you know somone is intimidated by your car. Dont know why he would be intimidated by my car though? Maybe he thinks its faster than it is?? Sure looks like it is.

I like gm, ford, and chrysler. But I prefer Chevy. I'd love a Challenger. But would still keep my Monte.

You're gonna get brand rivalry on any forum. Even more so on mustang, camaro, and dodge forums.

It's all fun and games. It's just like sibling rivalry. The ovals aren't bad, but the bowtie is just better
