That being said, IF we could afford one, are we honestly gonna pass on one of the few American supercars with a great history so we can get a CRX and pour 298k in mods and "stomp the GT" ???

No, it wont stomp shit from a GT. The GT will still out handle, out brake, have a higher top speed than said s2000, not to mention the fact that it will do so reliably for 200k miles, all while needing only a pulley change to add another 100whp to the car, beating the s2000 with as much spent on the motor as the car is worth.

You're a fucking fool if you think a motor makes a car.

I'll take one.

I don't think the GT will be a major contender in the supercar market simply because the parent company "specializes" in cheap cars, and there will always be a sneaking suspcion that a corner was cut somewhere along the line. (even though that may or may not be totally false) Ferrari's performance on the F1 circuit alone is enough to vouch for their commitment to automotive performace. And Porsche has been a leading contender on the LeMans circuit for decades. I'm not trying to say that the cars they produce are race track worthy off the showroom floor, but that the technology and commitment to their cars is in a class of it's own.

Ford on the other hand has been making cheap cars that fall apart after five or six years of daily use. They cut the corners where it matters most, and build a cheap pruduct just to make a buck. Many of Fords competitors (Honda, Toyota, Volkswagen) make cars that last a long, long time. Ford stepping into the supercar market, is a risky move on their part.

(take care of your car brock)

The worst part is, until you know what its like, you'll never see why people spend 300,000 on a car.

Stick to slow imports, when you break out of the 15s give someone that gives a fuck a ring.
