Yes, there are some Ford guys like this, and Mopar guys, but the majority of chebby guys like to stir the pot.

Just like this very topic. A chebby guy buys a Cobra either with a chebby engine, or he installed it. Why, did the chebby engine make tons more hp than any Ford, No.
Did the chebby engine fit better than any Ford engine, No.

Its all because most chebby guys put their $#%^ engines in Ford bodies to justify owning a Ford, or a replica of a Ford. Oh, and like my neighbor said when he saw my Cobra, "I wanna own one a those, an put a chebby engine in it to piss off the Ford guys".

Never have I even considered buying anything gm, much less owning anything gm with the intentions of installing a Ford engine in it to "piss off the gm guys".

Also, speaking of politically correctness, look how many chebby asshats troll Ford forums. Hell, a few years ago, my last time to post on the Vintage Mustang Forum a chebby guy whined until a political correct mod let him post his chebby into a classic Mustang build.

FTR, I NEVER go to any gm forums as I'm not interested in anything made by gm, and I certainly wouldn't think I would be welcome with open arms trying to post about a BBF in a camero body.

Heck, I don't really hate gm cars that much as all cars are pretty much made from the same stuff, its just the chebby guys with their huge egos, and big mouths that make me want no part of anything gm.

Maybe you should expand your horizons and get out more....Sounds like a rant from a guy who's had his ass kicked by more than one GM product.

I don't know about that, but you sound like a typical chebby nut hugger.

The funny thing about all this is the fact if you visit any of the LS forums, guys are yanking their Ford engines out of their Mustangs and putting in LS engines like it is nothing. A couple of companies even make kits for it these days it has become so popular.

I guess when you can buy a junkyard 5.3 liter, throw in some injectors, fuel pump, cam and turbos and get 800 RWHP, you know somebody designed something worthwhile.

Gee, I'll have to inform my little Boss 302 with it's 5.0 that it can't do what its doing by running with C5's and C6's all day long at the track.

I'll will be very disappointed.

Lots of variables in that comment. Drivers are probably a bigger issue than cars.

My buddy races Porsche's and beats Corvettes all the time. He routinely tells me most people driving a Corvette are lucky to figure out how to back out of their driveway nevermind drive competently in a race. Oh..his Porsche is about 1/3 the horsepower of a standard Corvette.
