I had a 2002 Mustang GT for 10 years and would not get another one. The retro style, Chinese built transmission, too heavy, and solid axle made me not get a new one. At $35-40K, I wouldn't call them cheap ether.

(And I don't consider the V6 Mustang a real Mustang)

Agree! Here's a clip of my friends 12 Boss 302 that he had cammed & tuned. He later ended up being the first Kenne Bell SC'd Boss and made it into 5.0 Mustang magazine. The car was a MONSTER! 783rwhp on C16 and around 650rwhp on pump. I'll have to see if I can find any videos of it in action.

Found one with the KB blower, but it's just in-car revs.

So far I haven't been revved at or any cars wanting to go at it. I maybe because I'm just chilling trying not to attract attention. The only heat I get is from my coworker who insists that his 300 hp wrx is way faster than mine on any course straight or curvy.

I really appreciate a large variety of cars, people assume i am just a ricer because of my scion but i end up knowing more about their car than they even do...

Fyi i have beaten plenty of faster cars, its all about how well you drive your car, i even raced (in mexico) an rsx-s with ihe, i got an absolute perfect launch and beat him by a car up to 100 ish mph also took down a 1.8T audi a4 and a volvo T50 wagon, long story short there is absolutely no better feeling when asked "what do you have done on your car? Um nothing bone stock...that is followed by a blank stare lol

If you think mustang drivers are tools dont get me started on SRT4s haha

No I dont actually but thanks, since I referred to the type of people rather than the car they drive. My opinion is not biased, nice try though.

So far I've only had one car rev on me.. A older WS6 trans am with no muffler.. Looked like it had a y pipe and that's it right behind the axle.. The guy kept on and on.. But I never even looked over at him.. I'm to old to drag race on the street.. And to smart to know what's going to beat me lol..

Now at the track, nothing that day was more satisfying then catching up to and staying with a C6 Z06.. He got me down the straight every time, but I'd catch him by the 3rd corner and stay on him the rest of the way except the back straight at streets of willow.. He wasn't holding me up, but that was fun to me.. I'd rather do that anyway of the week the drag race down a strip ...

That said I wouldn't mind making a drag specific car again.. I did enjoy drag racing

Well, the Mustang is kind of know for this...racing at stop lights. Its the whole point of a muscle car, not everyone goes to the quarter mile.


Though i'm sure in time will see the FRS/BRZ turned into dragsters...these cars will be dirt cheap eventually.

so continue to bash but i promise you not all mustang owners are d-bags who think they rule the streets but completely understand where you come from as i catch hell on mustang forums for owning a v6 as well as a chevy. and vice versa on the chevy boards.
Agreed! My dad raised his girl right, to be a true car enthusiast! The car I traded in for my FR-S was a v6 Mustang A/T, she turned 16 years old, I drove her for the last 12.5 years and that was one of my dream cars to own as a kid. Those who hate on muscle cars or exotics that cost as much as a house or cars that go slow in a straight line but make you piss your pants on a curve are no better than the other person. Let these red light hot heads have their glory and just enjoy your car....you bought the car for yourself, not for the hot heads!

I hate ford in general... they suck! None have tried to race me... I oblige them if they do, but only at the jump... after that I stop and let them fly by... by that time they have slowed down approaching the light, light turns green, I'm still revved up while they are braking.... FLY RIGHT BY!!! Done and DONE!

Not just car culture, but that goes for culture period! By appreciating the differences, we grow as human beings in life. Sounds simple doesn't it?
