It USED to be Enron Field, and that was the basic point of my post; don't confuse corporate sponsorships with corporate success.

And yes, Minute Maid Park sucks ass. At least here in Wisconsin, we've got Miller park. One guess what the beverage of choice is there.

Ford might not meet your criteria for success, but they've been around for awhile. They've won a few races, even ones with curves and stuff. That juiced F250 might give you a good run while carrying another S2000 in back. Different Power Strokes for different folks.

Dude, you can be a Ford-fan all you want.
First of all... I'm not really a Ford fan, just an automotive enthusiast. I just get tired of people 'brand bashing'... especially when it's often out of ignorance. I stick up for Honda on the Ford forums just like I stick up for Ford here. I give credit where credit is due... Ford has been in the car game for some time and I think people forget that. Next time you're on the road try and count how many Ford trucks you pass, my guess is that it wil be quite a few. I haven't confused anything with anything but my guess is that Ford won't be going out of business anytime soon and not only is the Ford name on the stadium but it also owns the team. Not to nit pick, but not one of the stadiums you mentioned is owned by an auto manufacterer. Don't confuse under wear makers with car manufacterers.

Alex,
I should currently be at about 510ish RWHP and about 570 torque and am considering giving her a big ole' dose of laughing gas. One of the other 03 owners recently dynoed at 736 RWHP w/ an 80 shot.

Ace10,

My friend has a 64.5 Mustang (#313 ever, it was shown at the World's Fair) - 100% original. 100% bone-stock, original parts... everything.

And it runs beautifully. Now show me your <1965 Honda.
