I see a few 03-04 Cobra's now and then....always some old guy driving everytime. I haven't seen a modded mustang gt or Mach1 in a while. Always stock or intake and catback only stangs. I love the foxbody's Early 90's lx's are my favorite kind.

The only 03 Cobra ive seen around here there was a 60yr old woman driving it no lie... I see a bunch of GT's, saleens, 427R etc. but they avoid you at all costs. They will put the horse blinds on and wont look over at you or turn off the first road they can find. I even had a guy in a new GT run two red lights to try to avoid me lol.

LOL....It's funny you say this cause I know exactly what your saying. I put a good beating on a lightning svt today and when we got to the next light, i looked in my side view mirror to see if he was gonna line up next to me again and watched him cut off 3 different cars and go through 3 lanes of traffic to get to the turn off lane.

LMAO. I don't have that issue. No one goes out of their way to avoid me. Quite to the contrary: the ppl who want to roll on me will cut ppl off just to get to me. I've never seen so many ppl go thru so much effort........just to get ***-reamed.

If someone's on me and I don't feel like running them, I'll just ignore them. But I don't run from no one.

First off Corvettes (excluding Z06s) aren't really any faster than F-bodies. Overall better performers/cars, but since you seem to be centered on straightline performance that's just how it goes. Second, I don't really think Ford cared much about how much faster LS1 F-bodies were than Mustang GTs when Mustangs were outselling the Camaro and Firebird COMBINED 4:1. The new GTs are low-mid 13s cars with a good driver, and simple mods can put them in the 12s. And they're getting a decent power bump soon.

Hey guys,

You know why I read these kill stories, not for the stories. For the kick *** arguing that comes with it after the fact.

God I love this site.

Thanks guys for giving me a smile while over in Dumpster, Iraq

all the new mustangs I've watched were mid high 13 second cars

hell, up to 60-70 I've beaten them (never go more than that in town) and my slow POS is high 13s at best

fastest 1/8th mile I've seen on a stock one was 8.9
