Yea, I like ALL my mustang garbage. Just call me Fred...Fred Sanford...

Of course, 4 outta 5 of my peices of junk will outrun your piece on the strip, but the all original 65 GT vert nor the street/strip 85 GT fox can be considered even remotely fast if turning left/right is involved. And none blend with the "crowd", so maybe they're ok as mustangs go...

I just realized, all of your times are pitiful for the amount of **** you're talking. It must suck to get beaten by cars that are as "sad" as mine, huh?

Maybe you're still not getting it... a "Mustang guy" likes Mustangs JUST because they are Mustangs. An all-original '65 GT convertible is most certainly not something you see everyday, and a very nice car. A very fast 4-eye, again not something you'd see everyday. My good buddy (Mach1 on this board) used to have a very quick '83 GT. Of course it looked like a POS, but it ran like a scalded dog. He knows how much I enjoyed even being around that car when it started up. But a '97 V6 automatic Mustang? You see cars like that all the time, and there is absolutely nothing special about them. It's the hundreds of thousands of absolutely boring ones that I'm talking about when I say I don't like most Mustangs.

Irunelevens, I do agree with you that the times Maroboy28 put down are not very good for an LS1 Camaro. Stock trap speed should be 102 or greater.
I know there is altitude problems sometimes but I don't know his elevation so whatever.

They're not only "not very good for an LS1 Camaro," they're right around what a good driver can run in a 99-04 GT BONE STOCK. And JAM, I'm sorry for the , but that kid really just needs to

I don't own a V6 mustang, so I'm not a "mustang guy"...I don't get all horny when I see a standard 97 V6, but I'm not a "mustang guy"...but I own 6 Fords (5 stangs and a 66 galaxie) that could be considered collectibles or performance cars. I consider myself a "mustang guy" (I own 5 for goodness sakes) with an interest in ALL cars.

I guess we just disagree in a minor way...but I DO get what you are saying. You like extraordinary cars...not just extraordinary mustangs...
See, I'm not dumb...just difficult.

He didn't hang with me past mid way through 2nd. LOL

It wasn't even the SRT model. Not that is really would have mattered but I could have been interesting at least.

Then just like the LT that I roasted in the 05+ GT mustang he wouldn't even look at me at the next light. LOLOL

I love my car.
your car looks familiar, almost like i've seen it before

Ok, a simple miscommunication. No problem . 99-04 Mustang GT 5spds usually make 225-235rwhp stock. And I made this username back when I had my bike.
