[QUOTE="Coiled03, post: 13316644, member: 18779"] The correlary to that is that if hardcore enthusiasts were the only people running the business, Ford wouldn't exist anymore today. There's a balance to be found. If you can't understand that, you need help. If there's as much outrage over this decision as there was over potentially cancelling the Mustang, then I'm sure Ford will revisit the issue. In the meantime, they have to operate in a financially responsible fashion. I don't see anybody here not supporting drag racing. People are simply defending Ford's decision to pull out of the sport given the current economic climate. The "low information, casual shopper" makes up probably 90% of their sales. They don't have a choice BUT to pander to them to some degree. The remaining 10% are so hardcore, it probably wouldn't make a damn bit of difference what Ford does, they're still buying their products. I guess we'll soon find out who's right, won't we? I don't know what you expect, really. I challenge you to find me a company that knowingly continues to pour money into a money-losing operation over the long haul. It's not gonna happen. [/QUOTE]
