I'm finding this mildly amusing. Educate a Brit if you would, is there a big Ford v GM rivalry in the US? Or is it just something people like to laugh and joke about? I think theres similar thing going on in Australia.
There is, but like the old saying goes" if it's got tits or wheels its eventually going to give you problems.
 
Proves a Japanese company uses American made parts. Ford is still the only American car company in that list. Better not drag out how much better Ford is than all this other trash too long, or well get saggy tit slapped.

Regardless, I just bought ANOTHER Ford, this one a 20, to replace my 18. 18 was a 5.0, this is a 3.5tt, and ill say, thing friggin rips
 
Having fixed Ford’s, Chevys, BMW’s, VW, Mercedes, and various others professionally for over twenty years now. The only thing that really changes is the hood ornament. Their all pieces of shit!

For some irony. You want to buy American, buy a Mercedes SUV, lol. All of their SUV’s are made and assembled in Tuscaloosa Alabama since 2005, and now the C-class, go figure.
Pic off my 2011 ML- class for giggles.

I have the privilege of working on everything as well. Im a chevy guy, my dad was a Chevy guy ( owned all Pontiac cars in the 60's and 70's), my grandpa work at a ford garage for 40 years, never drove one. Anymore I think all the engineers that design these vehicles are right out of college and never turned a wrench in their life. They are all a pain in the ass to work on. I hate emission shit.
 
Put down little over 600hp at the wheels on pump gas with about 17lbs of boost retuned. Could of easily made 1000hp, but got tired for lighting money on fire.

Fuck yeah they are!!!! There is a reason why technicians of all types bitch and curse so much!! I jumped ship from Ford to Mercedes back in 02. I will say this. Benz is much more forgiving to work on then Ford and MASSIVELY easier when it comes to warranty claims. Mercedes will replace a $3,000.00 door panel to fix just a squeak vs Ford wty bitching over a $20.00 panel clip.
 
One of my old toys, 97 Rusttang Slobra. Was mostly a race car.
I like Chevy, Ford, Dodge, Pontiac, Olds And Buicks. If you got enough money and horsepower you can make a cinder block fly! I worked at an airport that was an old Navy base, I used to run for lunch, some guy in the hanger had a Mustang similar to yours. He ran that thing down to the road next the runway, that car was stupid fast! When I jogged into the parking lot he was there with the hood up. I think he had a Paxton supercharger on it! Your car reminds me of it ! (y) :ROFLMAO:

I was told by a guy once that I could make a small fortune with a car like that. I said how's that? He said start with a large one. 😂
AHAHAHAHAHA...... LOLOLOLOLOLOL! ! It’s so fucking true it’s not funny. You dump tens of thousands of cubic dollars into go fast and shinny cars, only to get pennies on the dollar if your lucky.

And I’m dumb cause if I had the money I would build a Factory Five Racing Daytona Coupe. 302 long rod setup with Kinslinger individual runner fuel injected intake, naturally aspirated spinning 7000 rpm, Canton Engineering multi plate mini clutch..... 550-600 engine hp in a 2500lb car!! Turbos and superchargers are fun and all, but the sound of high compression revving away on 100 octane!! Ok relax now getting all excited here.
