Yup, Ford rocks, who else could keep the Fairmount alive dressed up in a Mustang?

Actually, it sounds like you and Meridian are the ones on drugs. Chevy and Dodge are the ones closest in a race for number one. Ford is no where close to being number one.
Chevy back in the body style that they had in the '90s had problems with things breaking. Dodges became known for having a notorious problem with the transmission. Now, the Chevy has about the highest power engine. My buddy's 5.3L would pull away from my Hemi hands down. A Ford wouldn't be able to do that. I'd have to race my friend, but I think that either high end or low end speed, I'd beat him. My can get the power down to the ground. I'll give it that it seems my truck is running smoother now, and we're gonna have all new fluids put in throughout the truck. So that might make it run better, at least I hope. I like Chevy's interior more than what my Dodge has. There are some things that I like from my Dodge, but a lot of things I like from my uncle's Chevy. But this isn't about who's number one.

Oh here we go with my p*n*s is bigger than yours stuff and yes I am on drugs and even on drugs or sober I still think Chevy is garbage ( I mean even Eastern Block cars have better build quality), Ford is more reliable and Dodge are better looking by far and better handling then all of them put together! Toyota and Lexus is about 30 years ahead with technology and reliability (just look at the motoring press reviews)
A friend of mine tried to race my stock 1500 5.9L crew cab, long bed in his Chevy SS truck and could not beat me!!! That's with 100HP more and 500lb less weight! Maybe your friends with Chevy's are better drivers then you. My friend on the other hand was a damn good driver and we used to race each other at over 180mph on our superbikes!!! So we sure as hell are not scared of going fast! Just that the Chevy was crap and the suspension on the SS is so damn hard and badly designed that it can't cut it on real road situations. On top of that he has had more trouble with that SS then I have ever had with the Ram! It's not all about power it's more about how that power is delivered, how a vehicle uses that power and how a driver can control that power! Take it from an ex superbike racer and privateer rally driver!

Maybe your friend in the Chevy isn't a good driver. There is no way a 5.9 Crew cab could beat the SS. And no, my friend isn't a better driver than me. I have excellent driving skills. Take it from me, if it has at least two wheels (because I've never tried a unicycle), I can drive it. I've driven everything from a lawn mower to a semi, and everything in between. The only exception to in between is motorcycles and the high powered vehicles like Vipers and all. If you could see me drive, you would know that I can drive. I have quick reaction time as far as taking off, but we've never raced our trucks. I can just tell by how his truck performs and how mine reacts that for horsepower to horsepower, his would walk all over mine. And yea, I know that a vehicle is only as good as its driver, but when are you gonna see someone like Earnhardt Jr. on a moped beat a 14-year-old Drivers Ed two time failure in a brand new Dodge Challenger? Well, the 14-year-old can still get the vehicle going faster than the moped, and is gonna beat him.
Also, don't you even dare trying to debate me about that if you're going to act like you did in your first sentence. It's comments like that which are unacceptable, and resorted to when you don't know what you're talking about.

YEP! It's a p*n*s is bigger then mine debate. My friend is an ex motorcross racer and I am an ex superbike racer and privateer rally driver with nearly 20 years experience and 3 years running a motorcycle race team and motorcycle race company but of course you are right and I am wrong! I bow down to you. I am but an insignificant spec on your driving skill oh master.

P.S. I'm done with this debate as it only serves to alienate the members of this forum and p**s off the moderators.

I was on drugs once too! I did 6 years in prison and have the ID to prove it! Sorry but I just wanted to join the biggest p*n*s contest!

If you think that Chevy or Ferd is better then why do you all drive Rams?? I drive a Ram because I think they will out last any other! If I thought something would out last it I would have bought something else!!!! Just my 2 cents

Being a personal attack, I'll respond to this. Well, congratulations to you on being that. So does that mean that you automatically know everyone? No, you have no idea of my driving skills or how I am. But you are trying to twist what I said, being that I attacked you saying that I am a better driver than you. All I said was that I know how to drive, and can drive better than my friends. Where in that statement does it require you to have driven a motorcycle and racing it for 20 years? Well, someone with absolutely no debating skills has to bring that in there, because he has nothing to resort to.

But for the which one is better, my only choices were a Dodge and Chevy. Nothing else. If I would've found a Chevy at the same time as the Dodge, I think that I may have gone for that one. I like what my Dodge has done on it, but with fuel mileage and my driving habits compared to my friends driving habits and his mpgs, the Dodge isn't the better of the two. I knew my mpg wasn't going to be the best, but I would've liked to have at least 14.
