Wow, absolutely amazing - and I'm not even talking about their spectacular engine failures. What got my attention was the fact that with a near 100% failure rate that there were actual V8 SHO defenders. Guys that through some lame turn of luck found themselves hopelessly in love with a car that doesn't do anything all that remarkably well. Some of these guys were on engine failure number 12! I guess that some people will be drawn to the car that hurts them over and over again - hmmm...the V8 SHO as a dominamatrix (sp?)

Makes the Corvair and Vega look like a Rolls-Royce and Mercedes by comparason.

Every time I start to think that GM actively hates it's customers, I find out that Ford is still "#1" in customer abuse.

thats what you get for playing with ford products.. what is it with those Ford boys anyway? I built a 450 hp stroker 383 with all topnotch high perf parts for 4500 bucks. this guy I work with brags about his 500 horse mustang. I could have built a hell of a lot more motor for what he's got into his ( almost 10k to be exact.) are they just slow (like their cars?)

That would be a big YES! tongue.gif
