ford vs chevy...

[Predator Bird]

i don't get why everyone still has the ford vs chevy hate. that was something created back in the 60's when all the muscle cars had big rivals that 99% of you here weren't even apart of yet b/c you were still swimming around in your dad's balls. a lot of people here are constantly dissing on mustangs and other cars b/c they're the "competition." unless you work for gm there is really no good reason to hate these other cars just b/c they are rivals. do you honestly think if you walk into a gm dealer and tell them you are a loyal customer that you will get a discount??? they don't care if you're a die hard f-body person or not, so there is really no good excuse to be a loyal fan. i know this is a f-body board and omgz!!!! v6 f-bodies are the greatest thing ever :rolleyes:, but come on learn to appreciate other cars on the road. i drove my v6 firebird for 8 years and i've always been able to appreciate other cars that were done tastefully. i just want to see people on here not say ford=gay everytime some mentions a mustang or any other car on here.

Re: ford vs chevy...

I agree and disagree at the same time. Most of the rivalry was started because of the magazines and it is an on-going thing at tracks and events across the country. Although I like and respect all nice cars, I can't stand backward-hat wearing punks driving Mustangs. My experiences on the road and at the track with "some" Mustang drivers (mostly the older 5.0's) have made me dislike the car. Everything from swerving at you while your driving your f-body, to purposely kicking up dirt (on the entrance road to the track) at my car while I was pulled over, are not fond memories I have of these drivers and their cars. Hence, why I can't stand the car and will probably NEVER own one. I took pleasure in killing them at the track.

Re: ford vs chevy...

I agree, the occasional fun comment is ok... but nice cars are nice cars... I GM cars, but why should I be loyal?


I lost somewhat loyalty, when at one point if I wanted a RWD manual car, my option was S-10 or corvette. When they stopped the f-body, GM put their back on us a little, only reason stuff is looking up because the market changed, and GM realized they could not force what the market once, and I still feel like they are playing catchup.... And some of their Opel/Holden stuff is their only saving grace. (sky/solstice, GTO, G8, isnt the G6 based off of an Opel design too?)


**** recently I have been daydreaming about WRXs, and what they will be priced at in a few years. Hell I even thought of going to a new V6 Mustang.... but I think I want my next car to be 240-400 hp :)

Re: ford vs chevy...

you guys hate the drivers, not the cars. i'm sure there are a lot of f-body people who do the same, some are probably on this site.

Re: ford vs chevy...

there is a big difference between saying that you dont like ford, and that you dont like mustangs. saying that you dont like ford is the whole "rivalry" issue, mostly a statement with very little to back it up. yes, you can use some technical knowledge to explain how many ford cars arent built well... but then again, its the same with many GM cars.

to say that you dont like mustangs can be perfectly fine. personally, i dont like mustangs because they are the "generic" sports car. they are dime a dozen, ready for any little teenager to buy and think theyre the Sh1t. from my experience, mustang owners tend to be not so much of car enthusiasts. they got the car because it was sporty, and then started talking smack. many of the mustang owners i know only hang out with ricers...

this is definitely not ALWAYS the case. i know a few mustang owners who are "car guys", and cool people. but i know many more who enjoy endangering the lives of everyone else on the road, simply because their parents bought them a "sports car"

Re: ford vs chevy...

I don't think the majority of people on here actually hate ford or hate mustangs. It's like assuming every firebird owner on here actually hates camaros because we are always knocking eachother.

Re: ford vs chevy...

I always thought it was just old fashioned, male bonding, good humored :poke: ing at one another.

And what's this Ford = gay stuff. Are you saying chicks that drive Fords prefer to feast on the whisker biscuit?

Re: ford vs chevy...

i know a lot of people on here don't have problems w/ mustangs or other cars. when someone is poking fun of them its fine w/ me, or if you have a legitamint reason to not like the other car is cool. this is just one of the many things i don't like about SOME of the people on the board. i won't even get into the ones who "plan" to do turbo/sc/nitrous/built motor/v8 swap in the future.
