i am very impressed with the new GT and the power that ford is squeezing out of the 4.6, most notably between the mid nineties and now. Getting what?, about 40 more horses out of the same motor isnt bad at all.
i really dont dislike ford, i just dislike having to rebuild their crappy 4 cylinders, like on my brothers car.
ive said this before

I don't know of anyone who has a use for their 4 cyl power! The only 4 cyl engine maybe worth a mention is the ZTEC in the Focus but then, I have not heard the sucess stories about it like with the Honda powerplants.

That's pretty cool about the Camaro. That's the way to go with them, find an old body and then gut it and replace the main parts. Just don't try buying a 6 cyl version (Mustang or Camaro) because you can not replace the engine with a V8 unless you change the K-Member. Chevy 350 power is pretty amazing.

When I was small, there was a guy in my neighborhood who had an old Datsun car body with a 383 in it.....it was "different" but fast as hell.
