it all depends on the mustang and mustang owner

other than my dad who is a really chill guy
i've found local (maybe just in cali) mustang and camaro people are real full of themselves
That is pretty true, especially the younger owners that have had mom and dad pay for their cars. Usually older guys like 30+ years old are pretty cool and easy to get along with because they have less to prove. Also the testosterone levels have began to decrease at this age and the estrogen levels are on a slight incline.

But how you handle yourself makes a big difference also!

90's models were slow and blew
That is VERY VAGUE!!! from 1990-93 you had the 5.0 fox body, and from 94-95 you had the 5.0 SN-95 Body, from 96-98 you had the 4.6 SN-95 body(the slowest of the bunch), and in 1999 you had the introduction of the New Edge 4.6 which had PI Heads/cams, and intake, and 260hp compared to the previous 215hp from 94-98...

early 2000 models blew
Not true, they came with 260hp from the factory,and they respond well to mods...

and don't **** with SVOs
hahahah
Well...I'll just leave that alone. They have their place, but not in a race!

An SVO was a limited production mustang with a 4 cyl turbo motor, koni's from the factory i think they built them for maybe 3 yrs
they were fast-liked the headgaskets though make sure your tune is good

yeah my thoughts to das but i mean when it comes factory with konis can outhandle most...out accelerate...(20psi boost ) and it only has 138k on it hard to say no
and me an the wife(especially) likes mustangs cant beat that...(ill still be all neon at heart though )
97-99 ACR's came with Factory Koni's too!

Bah....go get your Mustang and leave us!!!!!!!!!!!

I am with you on this one. The ONLY way that could happen is if the driver was toying around...

84-86 were the years 4 wheel disc brakes, quad shock rears, intercooled, 3.73 rear gears, they weren't that heavy and they were fast also you don't see that many around-if you're not buying it i will they are fun cars to throw around

its an 86 canyon red 138k miles on it and interior isnt faded but dirty svo's came factory with power windows and locks they were just an all around great car superior handling light from factory and fast and like i stated earlier their resell value goes up every year

Here is a Wiki Article on them does the svo a little justice but you need to drive it to love it kinda like the tao

Wiki SVO Article
