Sorry if it seemed like I was picking on you. Just trying to learn whats the big deal with the hemi. I kind of see the new hemi push as a marketing scheme, though I understand the significance of the original engine. Was just wondering if there was anything else too it.

Oh and to actually respond correctly to the thread. I really don't know. I hate fords that are post 90s(too unreliable). But I like 65 mustangs and 80s mustangs. However, can I forgive them for the horror of the mustang II(0-60 in 13 secs in a v 8). I know it was a gas crunch and all cars came down, but by and far the mustang was the worst.
I would take dodge over chevy. I would take pontiac over both though(discluding current lineup until the solstice, awd grand am, and gto come out).

Because the LS-6 puts down good power reliably while being fairly fuel efficient at cruise.

So, uh, this is just the '60s right?...

Mopar for sure, the Hemi was so successful on the race track it got banned. Plus, Mopar's have a much moreunique and organic sound. The tone is so much lower and throatier than a Ford or Dodge--it has the chest hair and the back air, not to mention a little ass hair.

I like all the Big three right now. Yes, am a little partial to Ford products. The Modular V-8's that Ford uses are pretty neat.
If I could not get a Mustang, then it would have to be either a Corvette or a Neon SRT-4.

Just one short word: DODGE
They brought us the viper and I'm talking of the first series. This beast bites so hard in the streets all over the world - no one can't stop it - except a trooper !

Have to go with Ford...not that the others are bad. It's just that the ubiquitous Mustang was my first experience of V8 power and after putting time into learning about Fords I'm too damn lazy to start the learning curve all over again with another marque. Corvette still is the best performance bang for buck...even Ford lovers have to admit that.
