Umm. Yeah. http://www.cadillacforums.com ( <---see it?)


There are some (I said some) Northstars out there that will take a beating like few other mass-produced engines on the market.

Nothing wrong about the Northstar, but it's like any other engine: it has it's excellent points, and it's flaws. I'm sure that when it came out, Chrysler and Ford diehards probably bashed it, too, regardless of it's superiority. The same thing is happening to the Challenger on this thread.

I don't oppose a particular brand; I oppose group think and blind dislike.

I don't know I still like the Challenger. Any car with a 3.08ish rearend (can't remeber for sure) open diff and auto that runs low 13's is doing pretty good.
I still want to address the issue of what is fast.

You guys have some interesting taste.. I can't speak about the STS buy my 94 Eldo doesn't feel cheap at all. Everyone (guys & girls) that's gotten in it has complimented the interior saying how great the seats were and how they liked the layout...this was from BMW,Mercedes and Audi owners. The first thing that gets said is "this is a 94??" I have however sat in some mustangs that were very cheap plastic feeling and I couldn't wait to get out of.

I got so many compliments in that car that it was almost annoying.. people rolling up on me driving, tapping on my glass when stopped, following me, leaving notes on the car. This is in NYC mind you, where you see just about everything and anythin on a daily basis.

What the hell has this thread devolved into? How about we just change the title to:

"Who Can Piss the Farthest?"

What exactly is the point of comparing Mustangs to STSs... or Mark VIIIs.. or a Benz... or an F-body... AND then a Taurus SHO... where the hell did a SHO come from??? The bottom line is that all of this is ridiculous... for whatever reason, everyone is trying to throw everything plus the kitchen sink into some argument that doesn't really exist.

Wake me up when this thread gets back to its original subject... because I'm still interested to know how or why a 2+ ton car with an automatic that can post a sub-5 second sprint to 60, that also hasn't really gotten onto the streets yet is a "failure?" Especially if we could get some reasons outside of a run of the mill case of Moparphobia...

There was an S10 and a CTS in there somewhere too.

*EDIT* Oh and don't forget my Miata reference!

It's because Blackout said it was of course.

It's right there in the thread title. Cannae you no read?

My girlfriend's late aunt Esther's 1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham was better than all of the aforementioned cars for any reason you can think of.
