[Shotimes] OT - IRL Gen 4 Chevy, NOT!

[Neno Albert]

Hello again

Now when they say it never happened, would they happen to mean Ford never bought the Cosworth
motors because it just didn't happen? If that's the case, then they were still respectfully owned
by Cosworth, if not.. Well, yeah then I think it's kinda crazy. However, I still don't feel that a
Ford motor should make anyone build a stink about it. Think of this way, they still paid millions
of dollars for it. There isn't a big stink about the Borge Warner t-56s being in newer mustangs,
f-bodies, corvettes, vipers, and whatever else they're in.. It just means that it's something
better then what they have available as an option. Not only that, but it's for the same purpose.
Not only to top that off, it wasn't built by Ford either, it's a cosworth motor. Therefore it's
not "Ford" powered anything really. They paid Cosworth to build a IRL motor, not to tell them how
to make it for themselves. :) Besides, do you think Ford would've done any different? Come, a Ford
Rep. not lieing to your face? When was the last time you went on without breathing... That's about
the last time a Ford Rep told the truth to anything! (i.e. exploding mustangs, crown vics, crappy
explorer design leaving Firestone to blame (actually the Wilderness ATs were superb tires!), Ford
not taking responsibility for their poorly built Gen2 ATXs, Ford not wanting anything to do with
the flying cam sprockets, Ford not admitting that they had a company selling junk yard ford parts
that were being rebadges as new parts (blueovalnews.com coverage on that one), amongst millions of
other lies) I still can't understand how someone could pity a company for just making a better
move. But that's ony my .02 i guess...
