I do not have a "bling" gauge... it would be funny if I did (not in the SRT, but maybe the T-bird)... hahaha... I found that pic from someone in college and laugh every time I see it... so it has stuck

The GTO I was referring to earlier was the "original" car from - crap - 1965?? I can't remember now... the point I was getting at was people call the SRT-4 a "Neon" but don't call the original GTO a "Le Mans"... heck, few people I know even call a Mustang Cobra a Mustang (** patiently waits for all the slams towards the Mustang and Cobra names... **)

To bring it "home"... Rumble Bee owners don't call their trucks "just a Hemi Dodge truck" when in fact that is all it is... I'm not looking to start any crap on name calling, and I realize jgralka was only joking with his original posts... I am just pointing some things out I've seen/noticed

 

hmmm...thats a very valid point...

and i did know a guy with an 00 cobra, and if you called it a mustang..hed get PISSED. i drove it once...ive also driven a stage 1 SRT...id take the "neon"

by the way...SRT-YA [sm=icon_beat.gif]

thats for liking ford...

 

Badstrat, no I opted for the NA version for reliability. It is my daily driver.

The GTO was based off of the Pontiac Tempest. (1964)

The Mustang was built off of the Falcon (1964)

The GTO was the first "muscle car".

The Mustang was the first "pony car" (pony car, long hood, short deck ie camaro, cuda)

 

Thanks Stealth... I couldn't remember all those little important things like details hahaha

 

Hmm... valid point about the GTO's srt_ya! But they did have different interiors, and trim pieces. The same could be said for the satellite/roadrunner/gtx, but they all had different interiors, and exterior trim. But thank you for taking my joke for what it was, a joke!

Oh and Todd I have never heard of the "gets towed often" that was great!

i think everybody over rates the new mustang model, because i never see them on the road. The dealers put the mustangs everywhere where u cant see anyother car or truck that is on their lot. i never see them on the road and dont no anyone that owns one.

 

they just were released... I have only seen a few handful on the road, but this is due to lack of volume at the moment... and the convertible is either just starting or getting ready to start production... hence, you won't see any of them running around yet (not without Manufacturer plates on it)...

 

Anything wearing a bikini will do.

On a side note as much as I dislike everything Ford I do have to admit, the new Mustang is sharp as is some of the other new cars in Ford's lineup.

 

Putting a Stage 3 on a SRT-4 will blow the new Mustang back into the 60's...for less cost.
I agree the 'stang may look sexier, and I've owned one myself, but everybody and their brother will be buying this car, so if you want to blend in with the crowd, fine....but the DCX lineup of vehicles is unique....and that's what I do to 'stangs in my SRT-4, I "neek up on them"......

 

I totally agree. It does look good. Thats about all it has going for it.
