Yeah, because no one has ever done anything dumb or illegal in a twin...

FX86 07-19-2016 06:15 PM

Pretty sure donuts are impossible in a stock twin. I think they're mandatory for Mustang drivers.

There's a tollbooth at the end of the bridge, no chase necessary.

I believe it's mentioned in the article if you bothered to read it.

Why is it that suddenly all Mustang and Camaro owners are all idiots because of what a couple of douchebags do?

There are a lot more Mustang and Camaro owners than twin owners and we have our fair share of d-bags in twins and on this forum.

The majority of Mustang and Camaro owners I see are between 45 and 70 years old.

They are a LOT of female drivers too.

I see women driving twins all the time. Must think they are "cute." More in the fr-s than brz.

Median age of mustang buyers is 49.

Camaro, apparently 30.

Women make up a large amount of base model pony car sales.

Here I see my fair share of people of both genders and all ages driving these types of cars. Couple of them are douches, but I've seen twin douches on the road too.

Even people in trucks, SUVs, and minivans drive like asshats. And strangely enough, I see people in riced-out FnF Civics that drive normally.

Plenty of d-bags on all sides of the spectrum, and I doubt we can lump every 45-70 year old Mustang-driving woman into the d-bag category.

It makes sense that older people (Men and Women) are flocking back to the Mustang. It brings back memories of the car they couldn't afford (Or had) when younger.

Same reason I purchased a fr-s. I had a RX-7 in my youth.

That sucks, i see probably 2-3 daily.

Where the fvck did THAT come from?!

I was simply reinforcing my point in response to all the shit-slinging at Mustang and Camaro owners and them being idiots. I never once thought that you thought that these female owners were all d-bags.

Though authorities didn’t find the Camaro, they did spot the two Mustangs.
At least Camaro owners aren't quite as dumb.

Most people drive normal. It's always the minority that act like d-bags...

Passing people sideways is a traditional mark of a car with power and a driver that can handle it.

There are idiots everywhere, but.... Mustang guys are top, then ricers. Then people in auto 86's.

thanks for the pic because i was definitely not going to read it

although the two right most lane looks pretty open from what i can see or go on the grass like a horsey and take that side road...even better wait in line and blend in then blow through the tollbooth

WolfpackS2k 07-20-2016 02:29 PM

Yeah, those would be the express lanes, for people with transponders in their cars.

Completely agree. I'm considering selling my FR-S for a Challenger.

Even the lightest Challenger weighs over 4000 lbs. So that's a pretty good reason to say that you NEED the V8 in that car.

Meanwhile a V6 Camaro is 3400 lbs. That's a HUGE difference, plus the Camaro V6 has 20-30 more hp than the Challenger's (I think, haven't checked recently).

i took the v6 challenger up to 140 with ease and overtaking other cars wasn't a problem with all that weight but i agree R/T or higher for Challenger

strat61caster 07-20-2016 06:47 PM

Q: What happened to <11 lbs/hp not being a requirement for calling a car 'fun'?

A: An internet penis measuring contest.

FRS: 2750 lbs/200 hp = 13.75 lbs/hp
ND Miata: 2330 lbs/155 hp = 15.03 lbs/hp
V6 Pony Car: ~3500 lbs/305 hp = 11.47 lbs/hp
V6 Challenger: ~3850/305hp = 12.62 lbs/hp

Have you ever driven a base model pony car? Serious question.

Yeah, I wouldnt consider a v6 or in the case of the mustang or camaro, the turbo 4. If i am going to buy one of those three cars it will be a v8. Nothing against the other engines, just not my preference.
