I like mustangs and SRT's

If run into another punk who tells me their stage 1 car will beat my (soon to be) stage 2 and they can run 12.5's I am going to explode... I agree with RR... stereotypes are usually there for a reason... and unfortunately, young punks seem to ruin it... sorry... the saying goes "act like a b!tch, get treated like one" hahahaha

 

Okay understandable, but i dont act like a bitch so please dont treat me like one. I know that many cars can beat my little SRT-4 im not super confident in it.

 

Personally I could give a rats a.. What people think of me. When you realize that going fast is a direct function of cubic dollars, you will realize there is always someone out there that will be faster than you. I too own a mustang and an srt, I own each for different reasons. I picked up the srt because I am constantly upgrading the 66 mustang and the cost of parts adds up really fast. So there I was looking at a car with all of the good stuff that I was installing on the stang for a sticker of $22.5, 17's, Good power, good brakes, nice seats, radio.....Its not hard to hit $20 when your upgrading a classic. I enjoy working on the stang, as well as cruising it. It is a hobby. The srt however is a fun little daily driver that doesnt cost me $500/mo like most cars in the "sport" category. Back to the original thread...A friend just bought a yellow stang for $4000 over sticker. I cant race him till I get the stock tires on it in the spring, I do know for a fact however, he will loose if there is a dusting of snow.

 

Most people that think there mustangs are unbeatable are newer ones liike 90 's and up

 

Car and Driver states time wise that the SRT-4's are faster. Ford is pathetic...

the fox body mustangs aren't something to be underestimated. the newer ones (96 and up) aren't so great, the parts are a lot more expensive and they are more difficult to work on. but take a fox with a 302 in it and you can make it pretty fast (mid 12's) for under 3k. the majority of cars on the road aren't going to be able to beat a mid 12s car. things have changed in the last 3-4 years with the wrx, srt, evo, and sti showing up on the scene. before them, who was there to compete with? camaros and firebirds or old muscle cars. that was about it. so understand why there is a feeling that mustangs are the top dog, because for a very long time they were. things are changing now, but many people are just not informed as to the performance of these new cars that are on the market. hell i ran into a sti owner once on my way to the track and he asked me what my car ran, after he guessed mid 15's. so there is a lot of ignorance as to what other cars on the market can do, and not just from mustang owners.

 

I cannot think of any time in which the Mustang was ever the top dog stock, however they are cheap and easy to build up. I love the new retro-style Mustang and would have probably had one if it came out a year earlier, but it didn't. The only thing I don't like about it is the seats, nothing can compare to the SRT-4 Viper style seats.[sm=loveeyes.gif] It had what I was desperately wanting from ma' Mopar, a great looking coupe with a powerful V8, RWD and a manual trans. which they still have yet to ever make thanks to the f**kups at Dumler.[:@][sm=loser.gif][sm=nono.gif][sm=bangbang.gif] I hope they burn in hell for what they've done to my beloved Mopars.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

 

 

PSI Chick..how's it going? I like your style. I have a Ford Truck and love it. I think it's all on what you like. I can run cirlces around most SRT-4's. I have put about $600 bucks into my truck. I respect anyone who takes care of and whant's to make their car/truck faster. I don't own a GT and I'm sorry for the Jack A$$es that think thier GT's are the best thing since sliced bread. I have dumb founded a lot of them myself. Why can't we all just be a big happy family! "people who like to go-fast and have a good time"

 

I couldn't have said it better myself. Buy a v8 to sacrifice for smaller things . Just some casual humor. I hate mustangs, I always have. Mustang drivers in general are some of the worst drivers on the road. They DO act invincible. And its not just a FEW of them, its a GOOD majority of them. They have this obnoxious "American Muscle" attitude that drives me crazy. Sure I'll stereotype them, but I'm basing my "stereotype" on what I've seen on the roads each and every day of my life.

Can't stand them, and no I'd never buy one, unless my mom wanted it, and even then I'd spend my 35 grand on a new 05 GT and put it as a down payment on an SRT-8 300C....which is far more worth the money. Anything with rusted headers from the factory is **** to me.
