Quite a few of those around here....the really fast ones won't run for anything less than $200 so if they're trying to get me to run light to light I know they're probably in for an embarassment:grin: I guess my Vette on skinnies and slicks is an invitation for every moron to give it a try. I'm contemplating a cam install and putting longtubes on the Vette and shooting for high 10s. Then I'm going hunting:Brow:
I don't like stangs that much. My grandpa has a 2003 Ford mustang V6 5 spd manual with a pony package :boring: He thinks it's cool and fast and all that, but I wont be afraid to take him on when i get my 10 bolt posi and the rest of the car restored. I hate posers:af: especially doin it for the love of their girls. It's alright to love your girlfriend, but posing for her in a cheap peice of junk mustang?????? come on, there is better cars you can use to impress somebody than in a stang. The people who own rustangs think they are the fastest things on earth. One of my friend's(Rob) owns a scratch free 1970 GS 350 with a hurst shifter and posi rear and you know, the whole 9 yards, and he says anytime a stang pulls up to him he lets them have a head start and then bursts their bubble when they are ten feet ahead and he blows past them and all they see is his tailights. I've rode in rob's dads 1970 GS 350 and it has neck snapping acceleration:3gears: when will stang posers ever learn??????
after you kill them, ever notice that if you meet up with them again, that they never look you in the eye again?? i get that with my dog. i love the intimidation effect!!! but as soon as your gone the go back to the way they were.... ignorant, and a major ego that just needs to be smashed!!! but when they see you again, normally, the jet off the next turn hopeing you didn't see them!
Well now guys I hate to be the "outsider" but dont just assume that all people that have Mustangs act this way. I have a 68 that I restored over the course of 3 1/2yrs. And I honestly cant tell you one time that I ever pulled up beside someone and acted retarded. But I can tell you many times I've had grown men pull up beside me in their half primered, half rusted Chevelles and later GTO's and want to race. There are always gonna be punk kids driving around in the cars of the time. But I think you have to have a certain respect for someones older classic. Especially if it is restored and is in nice shape. So I think you have to take the good w/the bad and just try and enjoy your vehicle!
Bottom line is if you've got what it takes as a person, you don't need to use a car to impress anybody. I never understood that logic. Too often boys and men use their cars as a testosterone or organ size supplement. I despise those individuals.
I used to embarrass quite a few folks with my Mustang. Of course it was a 94 Cobra. A MAC cold air intake was the only mod to it. It may not have been the quickest in the 1/4 mile but if there were corners in that 1/4, it drove like it was on a rail. MARK
Im not trying to give mustang a bad name. For any matter, i hate it when someone in a car pulls up beside me and gives me that smart-allic look, and they think they got it made. :af: :af: :af: :af: :af: that totally pisses me off! Most of the time i try to ignore them, but if they're tempting to push my buttons, then im willing to push some of theirs. My point is, the people with some of these mustangs, pontiacs, trucks, whatever they are, sometimes give a bad name to the automobile world and themselves. A car is a form of expression for me, not a "show-off" muscle machine for people to be impressed by. For me, my buick is a way of life, not a way of posing. -Cody
You're so right, Cody. Whenever I get alongside one of those cars I know they will likely try to show it off and I am usually right. When I have the Riv and I'm able to I usually just show them what a real car can do.:3gears:
Do you know that my 68 has NOS? That's what the punk in a mustang told his girl. Went like this.... stang- wheeee, wheeeee, wheeeee skylark- rumpity rump, rump, rumpity rump, rump.... (light turns green) mustang- whaaaaaa skylark- ROOOOAAAAAAR (pull into a gas station 2 blocks later) mustang- (to girlfriend) That car's gotta have NOS, no way he could have beat me on motor alone. Skylark - (snicker, snicker) mustang - (to skylark) how big a bottle you got on that thing? skylark (to mustang) - 18 gallon THE END
I love Mustangs!! Ford needs to build more of them.........I don't know of any punks driving rusted out Buicks who want to race. Its all those darn Mustang guys!:Brow::laugh: :grin:
I've learned that certain vehicles attract certain types of personalities. A lot of the inadequate or wannabe macho types gravitate towards cars with an image or aura (usually undeserved) around them. Mustangs have the aura of being fast, cool, the choice of the elite performance enthusiast, and even legendary. Like the ricers, they think the car they own makes them someone special. I think they should spend their money on therapy.
well, at least rusted out buicks dont copy of of foriegn cars, unlike some "Cool" fords/mustangs, so thats something to think about.:Smarty:
