    Or torque for that matter.
    No I just don't understand why they have to make their car so heavy. Who gives a crap about luxury if its suppose to be a performance machine.

    Gee, I don't know... to handle the power, safety standards, creature comforts, and to appeal to people that generally buy $30k+ cars instead of early 90's Japanese economy cars.

    There are not many cars that are light weight when it comes to anything more then 2 seats now a days. Safety, emissions, luxury items, ect..

    Not much you can do about it. If I could order one stripped out with no ac, radio, manual windows I would have for sure. I totally agree with you on that part of it. Like the '95 Cobra R and '00 Cobra R.

    They are not trying to compete with the Corvette or Viper hahaha. Those are 2 seater sports cars. Ford last sports car was the Ford GT. The fact that it can be compared to and even out perform those cars in some categories just goes to show how well Ford is doing. Even with a solid rear axle and a 3800lb+ car.

    In for, "It's still a piece of shit because it took them so long to make a car that's actually competitive"

    This but there will definitely be a chip on somebody's shoulder for having what I assume to be 100 or more horsepower than the new C7Z variants. Either I find it to be impressive and looks good too. In no way would I call it a POS... maybe the interior

The one in the pic just needs its wheels painted white, and I'd own it in a heart beat if I had the money! And this is coming from a bow tie guy
    I don't know if I could justify the money even if I was a millionaire... I guess the warranty is good to have once you blow the rear end out.

    I agree with you 100%. A C6Z will run right along a 2013 GT500 and it has 150hp less so I totally understand what you're saying. Guess it depends on the person and their opinion/taste of vehicles.
