***Official Political Discussion Thread***

I did a quick comparison of prices from DA OG ERA and the modern era

http://www.mustangspecs.com/years/64-65.shtml

170cid 6cyl 1V 101hp (1964½)
260cid 2V V-8 164hp (1964½)

Retail Prices
Standard Convertible: $2,557
Standard Coupe: $2,320
Standard Fastback: $2,533


http://www.in2013dollars.com/1964-dollars-in-2015?amount=2320

$2,320 in 1964 → $17,870.14 in 2016
$2,533 in 1964 → $19,510.80 in 2016



Now let's look at the 2017 model

http://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/trim/v6fastback/

$24,915

Horsepower

300 hp @ 6500 rpm (3.7L V6)
310 hp @ 5500 rpm (2.3L EcoBoost[emoji]174[/emoji], Premium Fuel)
435 hp @ 6500 rpm (5.0L V8, Premium Fuel)
526 hp @ 7,500 rpm (5.2L FPC V8, Premium fuel)


$5-7K more for double the horsepower along with features that make modern cars pretty much like spaceships (including advanced safety and 3x better fuel economy) and Ninjahood is complaining about prices and wanting da OG era of inefficient gas guzzling v8s and riding around in a nylon seated bucket back.
This was by far the best argument made against anything ninja has said in this thread.... backed with real numbers and thought.

And

It had absolutely nothing to do with politics. 

Good read tho, repped
 
1st off,

da OG muscle car era specifically talks about da horsepower wars during 66-71.

2nd off,

da Cafe repeal ENSURES that such performance cars are actually allowed to continue to be made...

da industry was slowing heading towards downsizing engines as da first set of CAFE laws were looming in 2017 scaling up da punitive benchmark to 54.5 MPG which wouldn't of allowed current brands to offer they offer now.

Trump's repeal of da onerous restrictions will save da segment and let flourish hurdle free.
 
Jesus Christ. Were people this open about wanting Obama to fail?

If so, they were equally as trashy and classless as this new bunch.

Have you been asleep for the last 7 years? And not only that the legislative branch actively tried to make it happen by NOT doing their jobs, let alone regular people saying he was ruining the country.
 
You sound like one of those "low information" folks I've heard about

People are forgetting Republican supporters hanging Obama effigies on nooses and burning them :{

I'm saying man, like these same people preaching unity and acceptance now should really take a look in the mirror, they did the same and worse 8 years ago, I remember so many straight up disrespectful stuff on facebook (when I was much more active) and even on campus when I was in college at the time.
 
Less we forget that some people are great at playin aggressor and victim? Never ending cycle

member that time Donald Trump spent years questioning the legitimacy of Obama's nationality and kept calling him a mooslem? and then kept saying he should release his birth certificate, but now he won't release his tax info?

member that time he needed the unamerican mooslem to teach him how to be president? cuz he doesn't know what he's doing and is in over his head? You member?

do you know how old muscle cars perform compared to newer ones on the market? I'm by no means a car guy but aren't cars nowadays able to perform better with the engines because of innovations in designing and engineering by being able to place more power in the engines of cars now while making them more fuel efficient in the process? curious to hear your opinions on this
