Default I Crossed Over To The Darkside

Well i've just traded my 97 Mustang Gt for a 96 Trans Am, and i gotta say, i love this trans am. Although i already blew the tranny in it, its still a hell of a lot more powerful then my mustang!!

There was probably a flash of light and you were like hey this stuff is way faster! I had a friend that had 2 Mustangs, finally got him into a 95 Formula, he goes you were right all these years, stock for stock its way faster. Some people just don't want to believe.

Usually when we see "I Crossed Over To The Darkside" it means someone just traded their 4th gen in on a Mustang which is followed by the poster being grilled on this forum.

Congrats!!!!!!!! on your Trans Am!!!!!! And WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!

Best move of your life, been there and done that except I had a 98 Gt with a Saleen Body kit on it is the only reason I bought it. My half ton is faster and thats no joke either!

switching from ford to chevy or likewise is like switching from republican to democrat, its usually a preference instilled from a young age either by family tradition or whichever you saw first. i knew about mustangs first (age 13) by age 15 my friend had an LT1 and showed me the light. now im a lifer. i will always have chevrolet sport cars.
