Default Hello Hello

Hello GM guys. As you can tell from my name, i have a mustang, but i joined this forum because i love all american muscle cars. I hate that imaginary boundary that people think up that says if you own a camaro, you have to spite mustangs and vice versa. So i hope to have a great time here and learn more about your cars.

Thanks everyone

Whats up, man. Let the cat out of the bag! what have you done to the cobra? Let out a little info.
I know what you mean about setting up boundries. I work with one kid who has a GT, he's always Mustang this, Mustang that. He thinks there unstoppable. Another kid I used to work with has a Mach. He told me to buy the T/A simply to shut him up.
Unfortunately didn't work. The kids going to blow his motor to keep up! some people never learn!

I think the main reason there is the "boundary" is because alot of the mustang guys think they are gods best creation, but some f-body guys are the same way, you'll meet them wherever you go. Just don't be a punk if you get spanked by a Stang ( if your in a f-bod ) and vice versa, be cool and give the thumbs up

I am in college, so i don't exactly have the money for blowers, stroker kits, etc. The farthest i'm planning to go on this car is to port the intake and mill the heads, and eventually add a 150 wet pill. I mostly autocross it, so i'm not really looking for 600hp. Plus i'm usually broke lol. As far as mods go, i have all the typical bolt ons. dumped exhaust, 4:10's, mosers, diff with extra clutches packed in, MAF, CAI, smog and AC delete, lower control arms, sportlines, KYB's, D&D CC's, aluminum driveshaft, balancer,shifter, bumped timing, underdrive pulleys, clutch, cam, .600 lift valvesprings, timing chain, SFC's, offset rack bushings, and yoko ES100's. Hopefully in a couple of weeks i'll be getting some black deep dish bullits. Here are some pics of it thus far.

Nice lloking car. Sounds pretty nasty, considering you're broke! I can imagine that thing is alot of fun to drive. No doubt you'd walk all over my LS1. I like that you didn't put alot into the body. Keep it subtle. Sleeper! Nice ride and once again welcome.
