Copycats at Ford
So Ford is bringing out the new Boss 302 Mustang in 2012. They have a special ignition key that resets 200 settings to put the car in performance mode for the track. I wonder where they got that idea?

Re: Copycats at Ford
I would not get upset about it - its par for the course.
Often times, Ford is 10-20 years behind Corvette. At the end of the day its still a Mudstain. Last edited by xlr8nflorida; 11-11-2010 at 02:13 PM. |

Re: Copycats at Ford
The onyl mustang worth a dang is the 2011 Shelby Vert. It wont hang with a vette; but' a vert that can haul ***, groceries, and two kids in the back is pretty dang good.

Re: Copycats at Ford

Re: Copycats at Ford
200 settings? Dear lord. I guess when the computer controls everything you can have all kinds of options on how it interprets your inputs.
Personally, I'd rather have a lighter, simplier car that does what its told (even if it is a bad idea). |
