Well... I was on my way to class today, mindin' my on bizness when a late model white saleen rolled up. He was running a manual and the weirdest exhaust I've ever seen (three round pipes in a pyramid at the center of his rear bumper). He revved at me, then took off into traffic. He sweved around volvos, civics, and corollas, and even went as far as to jump onto the shoulder when the traffic got tighter! Of course, he started kicking up debris like a mad man; wood, dirt, etc. At that point I stopped trying to persue him. What a moron, endangering himself, other drivers, and probably damaging his car on the shoulder as well! What's up with that?! :banghead:
Why are *most* mustang drivers so dumb?

And to add on the topic of this thread. I have simply destroyed well modded mustangs, and cobra's in the Trans Am, and for the most part, they have been pretty cool about it. The ones that seem to tuck their tail between their legs and run are the young kids in the stang gt's. 
But the Cobra driver's, mostly older guys, are pretty cool. They acknowledge me at the next stop and ask what I have done, some have pulled off into a parking lot and we gawk over each others cars. Those are the rare ones, a pleasure to talk with too.

I used most because I'm sure not *ALL* mustang drivers are that careless with their cars. Thanks for reading between the lines.RobW said:

i agree with you 100%, but personally id rather have the GTO compared to a BMW then a stang.... BMWs are pretty sweet, i personally take it as a complement cause we all know that a stang could never be compared to a luxury sports car.....Tails said:

Wow, it's funny how threads like this bring out the best in all of us.
One thing I've come to realize, is that morons drive all kinds of cars, not just Mustangs or Corvettes, etc.
Anyways, it was good you realized he was driving like an idiot and stopped your pursuit, who knows, somebody may have gotten hurt if the chase had continued.
Would it have been better if you had never started chasing in the first place...sure, but we are all human, and sometimes the power under the right foot is too much to resist. As much as I don't condone street racing, I would be a hypocrite to say I didn't do the occassional highway run.
I could say the conditions were fine, and nobody else was on the road at the time, but that still doesn't make it right. The speed limits aren't a suggestion.
Just my .02

It's not supposed to be!!!!gotzaGTO said:
Sheesh, how long will it be before people realize this! It's supposed to be a cheap performance car. Dodge took the same concept and applied it to an econobox and got the SRT4. They are not supposed to be luxurious. If I had wanted a little luxury, I would've bought that Audi A4 instead of my rattly convertible.

Do you drive it much on the street? Why not go with higher gears instead of lower gears? Or is it on the strip alot?PumpedSnake said:
I've read all of PumpedSnake's posts, and he is not a troll by any definition of the term.
I hope he sticks around and gets a better impression of us. Perhaps if we were a little less xenophobic, we wouldn't have the troll problems we do (not that we don't have legitimate trolls, it just seems that so many of us are jaded beyond reproach now. I think we should make an effort to be more welcoming to people who may disagree sometimes, but are objective in their posts like Grey03Cobra, Pinski, and this new fella. Who knows, if they stick around long enough to find out that we're a good bunch, maybe they'll defend us next time the GTO gets bashed).

Then monarocountry came along with his mathematical equations blah,blah. Geez, at least some people have some class on this board and can tell the difference from someone defending their brand versus a troll.desertgoat said:
Are you the only one that can criticize someone on this forum? Since you did speak up I guess that eliminates anyone with a Mustang from criticizing.
Really? Am I the only one? Anyone else you'd like to bring to attention of the class?
Got a rise out of you ace. Appears someone does care.
Free country last time I checked although liberals are doing everything they can to change that. This aint Russia the last time I checked.
I didn't put down a GTO or any GTO owner. Tell me what's the real problem with me being on this board?
Sygoat, it's been my daily driver since I picked it up. It just rolled over 42k miles. Next spring it will be a race only car. I've already installed a six point roll cage in it, rear seat delete and Recaro Speed seats. It has close to 150 passes down drag strips. Since I was one of the first to get one I was one of the first to start modding. With just exhaust I wanted more pull so I installed 4.10's. At the time nobody was even selling pulleys for the 03 as advertised. Little did we know at the time that a Lightning pulley would work. Then I started adding pulleys and I started crossing the line well over 7k rpm so I dropped down to a 3.90 gear. I was at 480 rwhp and 530 rwt running 18 psi on the Eaton. The best pass was a 11.39@122 with a 1.52 sixty foot in the middle of a 100 degree day carrying a full tank of pump gas at FFW in Richmond with the stock, unported Eaton. The car will go deep into the 10's now with the Kenne Bell next spring. This February I'll put 3.55's back in it along with a better clutch.
Thanks TRAMS_AM. I'll drop in once and awhile. I reread my last post and I was pretty ****y. I was just trying to break a few balls. I guess I got a little offended by all the hate. I apologise to the real car enthusiasts on this board.
Mikeyboy, I didn't say it would be their equal but it will be close. It looks more and more like the next generation Cobra will get the Ford GT engine probably running a little less boost. I think the difference between the new Z and the next gen Cobra will be as it is today, about .5 seconds on the 1/4 but I think the handling gap will be reduced. The blower on the GT is a Whipple twin screw so owners won't have to cough up $5k to put on their Cobra like the 03/04 owners do today. Plus with 5.4 ltrs., a 90 dollar pulley will put these things near 700 rwhp with the right tune. The Ford GT is rated 550 HP at the crank but they are dynoing 550 at the rear wheels. I think it will take one hell of a Z car to beat it. Not saying it won't/can't. Personally, I think the new Cobra will get the same engine with the same boost so they can run with the Z on a drag. There is a guy on a Ford board that sayd he has inside information and he says it will be a real screamer. I don't know of anything else Ford could put in it. John Coletti is on record when asked if they were going to put the new Ford GT engines in any other vehicles and he aksed the guy, "You don't think we built that engine for one car do you?". From your sig and your Z running 10's, it all boils down to who has the money and knowledge. If you run at enough big tracks you will know damned well you are not that fast unless you are one of the few like one of my buddies. He runs all old school Camaros and he's setting track records everywhere he goes. He runs low 4's in the 1/8 and has beaten Billy Glidden. I first met him when he started dynoing my 03. He didn't know anything about the new 03's and he flipped out as much as someone can over my puny power compared to his 2000 HP cars. He's one of the nicest dudes I've ever met and now he's a friend.
The 03 Cobra engine is a great engine stock but anyone can build one. I'm surely not going down to buy a new Cobra just for the engine anymore. I'll build my next one for a '93 notchback.
I like Mustangs. I think they are cool and I like the style. My favorite was the notch backs back in the day. The first night I had my GTO i went out for a late night cruise. An SVT Cobra owners pulls up next to me a gives me a big thumbs up. Then a few lights down we talk. He complemented me on my car and I complemented his car. He wished me luck and asked when the 05's goats where coming out. When the light went green we both eased out slowly and waved goodbye. Mustangs, Lightings, GTO's, Vipers, Vettes, F-bodies, Srt-4's. I think they are all cool.
