uh... burgman... way to go buddy, you have completely proven your intelligence to this board.
contour owners- why do you waste your time? v8 hicks who weigh as much as their cars come in here and bash you, when they don't even have a legitimate argument.
these v8 owners are most likely 350lb. slobs who don't really even own mustangs, ride the bus to work (which, if they even work, is in construction.)
for those of you cleancut, none-slob v8 and mustang owners, you are completely excluded from these generalizations. but you do need to learn a lot about respect. don't be jealous because your v8 loses to a l4. respect the person who made their car faster than yours on 1/3 the displacement.
whoever made the comment about the american idea being "it's not fast enough, bigger engine", I agree with you 100%. the reason is that the people (not all, but most) know nothing about their cars, so a bigger engine is the easiest and only way they know to get more power.
burgman- i wish i lived closer to you. I would love to race.
