no i paid for my car. apparently i just put more effort into searching/waiting for a good deal than you. but good job at another attempted insult when you're arguments are unworthy again.
You can't really bust on people that will spend 30 or more on a new car,listen the f bodys have a lot of performance and yes can be made into one bad *** car for way less then the cost of say a new camaro or stang,but you can't really hate on anyone for getting what they want.it would kinda suck if everyone had cheap *** f bodys lol,people build what they want ,and no one should ever hate or put down someone for doing there own thing.

I have been looked at truetracs/spools.
How did i not get a good deal> I paid 29k fro full warranty, ran low 12s. Have a brand new car. I also proved you can get better deal then you and still be faster. So you should have bought a honda. It would best deal.

and you keep talking about a cheaper car, going fast.. someone even said they could build a honda for HALF of what i have into mine and smoke me. so many threats, yet no one putting their money where their mouth is. probably because a lack of money.

i never once said you over paid for your car. and you have not proven anything about a cheaper honda going faster. remember the $8k honda we were talking about? not cheaper. and if/when i have $8k into my car the honda will sure as hell not be faster.

after seeing the tech-specs of a new 5.0 i have been dreading the day one pulls up and wants a piece. if you beat one with bolt ons i guess there's not much to be scared of.. i would be pretty mad if i just paid $30k for a brand new stang and got handled by a bolton fbody

what did you pay for your car? Cause that goes towards that 8k. s said the 8k into the honda was buying the car and modding it. not 8k then mod it. Unless you bought a huge pile of **** you paid least 8k for your car. And if i was into Honda's i could build it. And it is not for the lack of money.
so no i do not have close to 8k into it including purchase price. i have plenty of time into fixing other peoples work on it though thats for sure. just the kind of crap you get into with any used car.

Sad thing is it's still a honda lol. I dd my 95 honda accord to work and to get the grocerys usually. Would I try to make it fast to race? No. If I won the lottery woould I build the motor and turbo it? Yep. Just to **** with people with fast cars and beat them in a honda. unless I had a **** ton of money I would never try to make on fast or race it
But i never would say that its just a f-body or that people shouldnt mod one, more so today when you can buy many stock vehicles that car do what it does in a straight line yet still do other things ( corner, stop, be comfy, etc).
point is if someone makes something to be fast, its fast. doesnt matter what type of car it is.
and for the OP there really isnt anything special in having a modded vehicle beat a stock one.

99 TA A4 SLP lid, Borla catback on the way
If I were you I would be scared running into any V8 Mustang other than a stock -98 GT.

OP NICE KILL... Seems really close and from all we've heard, I'd guess that car was 100% stock, or had "the usual" not so experienced driver Takes most way too long to figure out these high revving V8's. i have less than 8k into mine so your example doesnt work out.. and do not promise something you do not intend on delivering on. stop threatening to do a honda build and do it! and if your buddies $8k build is a result of "knowing people" he may want to meet some new people
opinions are like ********, everyone has one.. and my opinion is screw buying a new car. i find it humorous that instead of disagreeing and displaying your own opinion you quickly try to move to insults and accuse me of using "ricer math." if peoples opinions bother you that much i dont think automotive forums are the place for you.
as far as me racing your car.. sure! i am not opposed to that. let me just get a comparable amount of mods because obviously my "LID ONLY POS" would not hold up. The more of this I read, the sillier you seem to be. The point others are making is that you have no room to talk, newbie. They're TRYING to tell you that reality exists. People simply DO buy new cars. You don't have to buy new. Heck, I don't buy new myself.
So what? I don't come onto the forums and say, "Well ****, boys... I only have 20k into my entire car and it runs 9's with no problem AND THEREFORE all those new cars are useless pile's o'****!"
Ya know WHY? Because that would be a silly lie, brought out solely by my foolish and ignorant opinion. One day, these new Camaros and Mustangs will be used and possibly even you'll be able to afford one. If that ever happens, they won't be the laugh you're trying to make them out to be today, I promise. You'd be saying something like, "Damn man... I remember back when I was young and knew everything, how I said those factory stock 12 second pony cars were nothin' compared to my mi-13 second almost stock version just 15yrs older." and others will laugh with you rather than, like today, at you.
Heh... You bet he will. I think we saw a video of that one running deep in the 12's all stock. If he's to compete with that Mustang, he'd better strongly consider WHICH power adder to use because bolt ons are simply never going to get the job done with that tool. 
Ummm... Idonno... 8.8 with 31 splines?? Those are very strong. "Back in the day" we took a 3350 lb SN95 deep into the 8's with that set up. Ya think? Seems not. I paid about 7k for my second to last Honda and it was BONE STOCK and your car will PROBABLY NEVER run as quick as it did no matter how much you sink into it. 
The point has been lost on you. Funny too, since it was your silly argument that started the whole thing and you just don't seem capable of "getting it" no matter what.
SIDE NOTE: I was GONNA post this last night, but my power went out and now that I've gone to the trouble, I'm posting anyway!
