And I agree 01B, it's nice to be able to DISCUSS stuff and not get all bent outta shape about it.

True, true but damn dude i know people that have ran 10 psi on the STS turbo on the 5.3, yeah the 5.3l and still didnt detonate and that motor isnt made for ****!! Parish was throwing 13psi and 100 shot on the STOCK 6.0 STOCK!!!!!! And ran a 10.91... think about it!! I know what your saying and it all makes total sense but I'm saying long run... the bowtie will always be in front

I totally agree that the Ford lineup cant be touched for the price and the fact of the matter is that price is a big part of the equation. Most mods are catagorized by hp per $, I look at vehicles similiarly. Yes, for 70K the new Z06 will be awesome. Raise your hand if you've got 70K for your next car. 
Im fortunate that I get pretty crazy deals on Chevy vehicles. I got my Tahoe for 8K under sticker 
. I'll wait for the Trailblazer SS to fall in the same category.... unless Ive got too much money in the Tahoe by then.

I've said it before guys, I'm not brand biased at all, obviously since I bought a Ram and traded in my Silverado. I buy what I like!! If people only buy a certain brand, that's fine. I don't care, why should others care what we/I drive? Buy what makes you happy, life is to short!! I will gives praise when I think it's warranted, and give a scolding when that applies too. To each his own!!
