I don't see how you can say this car is slow for street driving, with any more power you won't be able to use it without ending up in jail for a reckless.

Sure you could get a mustang with 300+ hp, but get on it for more than 5 seconds and your in jail for doing 120 mph on the highway. You can't have any fun, so what's the point?

Sure you can get a mustang, if you like driving a boat.

Traded my 86 for a mustang, the power is amazing, so much better!

I got the track package, now I have the best of both worlds.

I traded my 86 for a mustang and now I regret it, do you think they'll trade back?

Well, there is always going to be something that some people don't like!
My only real issue are the people that complain bitterly about things that:
A) They should have known about before they bought the car (it is too small, I have a hard time getting in and out, etc)
B) Things that they can't do anything about and complaining won't change (it should have been cheaper, crickets, etc)
C) Things they can do something about but would rather just complain (not fast enough, don't like stereo sound, noisy inside, etc)

No such thing as a perfect car! Don't be tough on those people T, their tears of frustration feed us <insert maniacal cackle here>..
