|  Mustang drive Firebird into extinction wtf
This is an excerpt from Ford's Mustang Brochure
Face it, you’re chompin’ at the bit to grab the reigns and gun the gas.
If it’s any consolation, you’re experiencing what more than 8 million buyers have felt
since Mustang first kicked loose. It set the ’60s a-swingin.’ It’s inspired fan clubs on
6 continents. It’s starred in over 600 motion pictures. It’s in the winner’s circle at
the track and on the strip. And it helped drive the Firebird to extinction.
What’s it all mean? Mustang is America’s pony car, and Mustang owners have way
more fun!"
Thats a bold statement from ford. We need the Birds back. |

Someone else posted this elsewhere, but I can't find where. I'll search my replies and find it.
EDIT: No wonder I didn't see it ever again, Y2K moved it to the LSX forum for some dumb reason lol  This pisses me off

Makes me want to go race a mustang just to make them know that a car from 1997 that only has one camshaft can beat a 2005 GT

That's O.K., the firebird/trans am will come back and put mustangs in their place again. I think GM is just playing with Ford, maybe that's why they don't talk any shit on a vette at all or have any cars running Le Mans??? Good thing they didn't say camaro since they're coming back soon

I thought Ford has the Mustang in the Le Mans GT class, it just sucked?

They have balls considering LT1 birds from 94-97 can run and beat brand new 07 GTs. A NINE year old f-body will still stomp a new mustang. | |

It turned into a huge argument, and someone else moved it to the Racer's Lounge. Since this has already been posted, please refer to the ongoing thread below: This pisses me off
