I just care less about brands and more about fundamentals as I grow older.
My first car was a mustang with a 351 with 2v heads. It was fast. I had Ford loyalty for awhile.
These days I gravitate towards mopars. I don't know, they're just cool. I had a friend with a barracuda in high school and that's an influence to this day.
Now I realize, with gas burners, it really boils down to, cubic inches, and, air flow. Everything else is icing on the cake.
