1969 Boss 429 Mustang 13.60@106

2003 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 13.10 s 109.4 mph

I didnt say Boss 429. I said 429 Super Cobra Jet. 1/4 time: 12.3 at 112.0mph.

Sorry, I was mistaken on the year, though. It was the 1970.

Where did you get that ETA at? I don't see it on the above link.

The latest Motor Trend has a pretty cool article about Ford's 100th year.

Hey, not sure where all of you live, but the speed limit usually falls between 55 - 75 mph around these here parts, all of this 1/4 mile in 2 second jibberish makes about as much sense as Bin Laden turning down 400 drums of anthrax. Run your cars to the maximum and the maximum it may run is 6 months, race on racers!

A little trip to the track never hurt anyone. Plus, the 0-60 test was created for highway purposes, to see how fast a particular model could get to the speed limit. Sure, the 1/4 mile is useless in real life, but it's damn impressive to hit it in 12 seconds.

Did someone say the BMW 3 is too slow?

Did I read that right?
Was it a 318?

I have a 98 328 and I can suck many an asshole up - if I needed too - that said I hate the new body style for BMW (1999-now) and the car has lost its *in the cockpit* road hugging appeal and you just can't compare the performance. (couldn't tell you what they changed but you can tell the difference)

I would only recommend a 92-98 3 series (stick is a must if it's a 323)

The G35 - looks pretty sleek I must say - can't comment as I've never driven one. I would suggest you check out what your insurance will be before you have your heart set on one.

Thanks for the input. Yea, the 330 was kinda slow, its ok for the streets but thats about it. CHeck out the specs for each car. I still like the BMW but everybody and their momz has 1 (mostly 3 series).

Caddy??? LMAO! Those are for retirees in Florida.
Accura, Integra, BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc are far superior.

Trucks... I dont give a shit about trucks, but I'd way rather have a Jap SUV than an american one.

I agree about the SUVs, but the statement regarded our truck market. Althought you dont give a shit, you can't deny the fact that we have the most powerful, reliable trucks in the world.
