LOL. That "chick car" was faster than most cars here. I enjoyed the Mustang, very durable and fun to drag race, it wasn't as good in the corners or on typical Houston roads as the 1LE.

For now I'm going to run it stock at Baytown and Sealy tracks, just to see what I can get out of it - completely stock.

That could just mean that more married women drive Mustangs. My name is on the registration for all of my cars. Oh, and

You have a point on the first part, but more females are legal owners in current times. That article on the Ford website talks about the history (which they intentionally marketed towards females when it was first introduced), but talking about that is like bringing up championships from the past like the Cowboys fans lol.

Thanks. Think it would take some getting used to going from a light, nimble car like a C5 Z06 to a 5th gen Camaro. It sounds like your buds car would be fun, even if you de-tuned it a bit.

Oh, I would never sell my C5Z.... Like you, I love cars and never seem to have enough.... It's a SIK addiction!

He and I attended a runway Rivalry event a few weeks ago and he was trapping I the 140's in the half mi.... On the way home (NO CARS ON HWY) we got up to 165 @ one point.... His is black w sun roof and all options.... It is truly a very nice car as is yours...
