Cheverolets are built better, in my opinion. And they are overall better.

Some mustangs are pretty cool. But not really my style.

Plus, everybody else is hating ford... right? :ermm:

[GTA:SAm_f]

I am in-different.

:)

Never driven one, so i cant call them bad but it also means i cant call them good. Some of them are quite the sexah beast though!

[gta-player]

I like all Ford Mustangs, but my favorite's the 2005 Mustang GT, I want one soo bad.....

....but I can't afford it.

[mechasoupx]

I like Fords. My dad has never owned a vehicle that wasn't Ford-built, so I guess I inherited that. Currently got a 98 Explored XLT V-8, a 2003 Focus (ugh, I know, not a Focus fan, but it was cheap and it has a manual tranny), and my beloved 95 Aerostar XLT.

There used to be a Ford vs. Chevy thread, but it got closed.

I do not like Chevy. In my opinion they aren't very high quality, nor do they run the best. Corvettes are nice and all, don't look too great, but all other Chevys I don't enjoy.

Mopar used to be cool, but now that Dodge puts that god-awful front end on stuff I con't stand them.

In summary, I like Ford, I dislike Chevy and Dodge, and I am pretty indifferent towards everyone else.

[xzibit]

Well I think Fords are a great reliable car. My mam has a Ford Focus 01 hatchback Ghia version.

[Jesus_is_Good]

I'm not a big fan of Fords, there cars are so bad looking it isn't funny. Excpet Lovefist's tempo... dam I want that car.

I do like the classic mustangs because they look really cool but that is about it.

[I-275westcoastflorida]

[mechasoupx]

Well, if anyone thinks that Ford's aren't beautiful, I'll just have to change their minds.

First off, for some kick-ass Shelby mustang restorations, check out Unique Performance.

See that? That's a nice looking car right there.

That engine came stock in the 1970 Mustang GT 500. Not too shabby.

And thsi is the car that housed that massive engine:

And now that I'm done unloading largeish pictures of awesome cars on you, here's some more links:

That car has a Front-end V-10 making over 600 horses, and some beautiful styling lines on it's polished aluminum body.

2006 Ford GT
God, if that car doesn't scream speed, I don't know what does.

I have never owned anything that wasn't a ford, my parents at one time bolth had fords, and it is for this reason that i HATE them so much. I want to get something better soon, around spring next year. I have always been around fords, so I know exactly why they are fucked up. Not sure on the others, but i'm sure they can't be much worse :lol:

[mechasoupx]

Yeah, with Ford you definetely get what you pay for. No outstanding deals, no ridicuouls rip-offs. The cheaper cars arent' luxury cars, and they don't try to be.

Fords arent' meant to be top-of-the-line luxury vehicles, they're supposed to run well and get the job done, and I think they do. If Ford was going to make luxury vehicles, then Lincoln and Mercury wouldn't exist.

[officer cartman]

Well, basically, Chevy and Ford are the same, they have some crappy cars and some really good ones. Usually, people sway one way because of family influence.

[mechasoupx]

I think you're right there. And it all started back in the muscle car days between the Chevelle SS and the Mustang. Every time Chevy had an angine, say a 449, Ford had a 450. it was all about which was faster, more reliable, and once people made a decision they stuck with it. That decision ended up lasting generations. I'm an example of that.

Of course, Mopar kind of died off, but their Hemi was (and is) still a big part of their fandom. They had the 'Cuda, the Duster, the Charger, and all that good stuff.

[officer cartman]

Well my brother was[probably still is] a truck freak. He could point out and tell the maker of every truck he saw by basic design tendencies.

And I've had a Chevy Surburban, since I can remember[I remember the dealer, that was it...] and its been real good. 10 1/2 years, and I'll probably get it later, if my mom ever gets another car.

[Hi, I'm round.]

I quite like fords really, the Focus is cool.

[GTAViking]

My dad owns a Ford Tempo, but it's quite old and doesn't run too well - always keeps breaking down.

[Sid Vicious]

Im not really into Chevrolet or Ford to be honest, i prefer cars like Audi and Mecedes , but that mustang someone posted back there was nice ;)
