I got a dumb question

Every once in awhile i look up at the screen and i see the superchips advertisment. It end by saying "and leave your competition in the dust" while showing a super duty in the backround. Now call me crazy but am i the only one who finds this odd a Ford being outdone by another truck on a Ford website?

Sometimes I believe people take things a little too seriously. Do you want to be the Ford in the mirror? Or the plug in a tuner and not be in the mirror?

I wouldn't call you crazy..... a bit nit picky, yeah.

There are no stupid questions, just stupid people who ask those questions!!! Just kiddin, I saw that advertisement and thought the same thing. I dunno, I figured the company just made one advertisement for banners, and didnt specifically make one for FTE(even though they should).

Actually... it was the only rear view mirror photo available at the time the graphic was made. That's really the reason, no more, no less.

Some people take the Ford/Chevy/Dodge thing a bit too seriously. They are typically the same guys who get into a drunken fist fight over it at a monster truck show. Personally... I just enjoy my Fords.

That's what I was thinking. It's all marketing. Buy their product and you'll be the truck out in front.
