[GT40FIED]

Yes...pun definitely intended. I just saw an ad in a Mustang mag for a Vortech system designed for the '05-'06 V6 cars. Now if it's not lame enough to market a blower system to the V6 crowd when a V8 was readily available from the factory, the performance numbers sealed the deal. For a mere $4,300 you too can gain an extra 40hp and 20lb/ft (with a dual-pass water-air aftercooler, no less). What the fuck? I could get the from bolt ons and exhaust on that same motor. Thanks to Vortech...they've once again lowered the bar for blower systems.

On a somewhat similar note, my GMC truck (which is powered by a 4.3L Vortec V6...that's Vortec without the "H") is a piece of shit. I've got an intermittent electrical problem which causes the car to be for all intents and purposes dead at certain times and then magically come back to life as if nothing had ver happened whenever it feels like it. It's funny...my 22 year old Mustang runs like a champ and can do 0-60 faster than Tara Reed can destroy a viable career, yet my 5 year old GMC Slownoma can't go a single summer without giving me a fucking headache. Death to GM!
