JRMSR,

Just trying to point out that you were making the same mistake that you were accusing someone else of making. I say, give the other guy a break and back off with the attitude. This is a great forum where everybody is welcome and is treated with respect. So let's keep it civil. You seem to have quite a bit of technical knowledge and experience as evidenced in your previous posts, you're welcome to share it. But keep the personal attacks to yourself. And that's all I'm going to say on that subject.

As for being an expert, if writing professionally for a living counts as being an expert, then I suppose I am.

 

What you've failed to realize is I despise liars of a certain kind, especially those that bring dishonor to my living and fallen comrades in arms. Especially those that falsely acclaim direct association. After serving 20+ years and three conflicts as a U.S. serviceman, I won't allow some charlatan the latitude of utilizing such claims, especially when I'm assured it's a complete falsehood. As for having a little verbal, grammatical latitude and jocularity with my remarks, they were allocated on his behalf, not your's. It was done as a purposeful repost to incite some additional retort on his part and to further expose his fictitious claims. Of course, this was his initial intent. So I obliged with a satirical comment.

As a writer you should be able discern between the satirical and truthful, especially with intent. Don't believe a person is the lesser when they can transform their literary vernacular to meet the occasion. Civility is only measured by it's factuality and is transient with a liar.

I realized he was here for singular purpose but I won't allow him to defame the fine Marine Corp name. Nor am I as naive to believe his financial resources would facilitate the procurement of a vintage automobile or the latitude of purchasing an expensive alternative through a system which doesn't permit, unless he was actively stationed abroad in the service of this country.

Your evolvement and comments were misplaced without the appropriate viewpoint, wisdom or reasoning to see through his comments. Sometimes it's necessary to expose false claims in order to put a proper perspective on a discussion. In this case it was necessary. So in repose, see my comments as a necessary evil and discard your personal involvement in a effort to remove any validity to his impromptu comments. I hope I've expressed myself with the appropriate candor and eloquence on your behalf or would you bid me digression to a more satirical explanation?

Cheers

Jeff

 

Gunny, why thank you!

 

There are better numbers in it. It's a matter of weight transfer and being able to put the horsepower to the ground. Mustang is heavier and carries more weight over the front axle. Weight transfer is not that good. To combat it, less air pressure in the tires, lower take off rpm's and make good shifts at appropriate intervals.

Did you happen to read the articles in both Mustang Mags on the new 5.0" Same magic was used on the 5.0 GT to run 12.39 quarter with the left front of the ground at the lights. Now remember this is a 5.0 412 hp at the crank more or less 356 RWHP. So yes there is quite a bit more to be had in the GT500. Less weight better transfer and viola'!

Cheers

Cobra Boy must have gotten a rare Caddy. My dad had a Cadillac Escalade and for starters it is nothing more than an overpriced glorified Denali. Dads first Brand X in 30 years and boy was it junk. They had to have the stereo replaced twice, had problems with some trim falling off and finally traded it at 60,000 miles because the tranny was going out of it. That vehicle was never abused either, dad was meticulous about his vehicles and their maintenance. I never let him live it down...he raised me a die hard Ford fanatic and then pulled that stupid stunt! LOL And for the record did anyone read the article about millionaires recently? The vehicle most owned by millionaires is Ford. Not Caddy, Lexus, BMW, or Mercedes.. The answer most given in the survey is because they hold their value better. You don't become a millionaire by spending foolishly. Just my two cents worth.... you are entitled to your opinion Cobra Boy, just as I am to mine but maybe you should go to a Caddy forum if you wanna bitch about Fords.
