Wow... I thought this argument was null and void now... at least for the last couple years... Oh well...

I like imports. I want one. But I also like my mustang as well. I bought it because of it's potential, not what it had, because I wanted to work on it to make it faster than what it was.

For those that say a stock 99-04 Mustang GT is fast, I beg to differ. Yes it may be a V8, but at 215~ RWHP it's not all that fast. (15% of 260)

I had to do a few intake and exhaust mods in order to make just shy of 260 RWHP and I still get beat by imports. Then again, those cars that do beat me have much more money invested into the car.

I hear it all the time.... "I have <insert mod list here> done to my car and I beat <insert random stock 250-400hp car here>." Well, try putting the same amount of money in any given car and see what happens. Sure I can swap my engine with an 03 cobra and do an ungodly amount of mods to it to make it well over 1000hp and smoke anything. So?

It's not about what you drive, or what you have done to it, well as long as you're doing something because stock sucks, it's all about having that love for your car, working on your car, and having the pride to show it off. That's it.

Now... can this thread rest in peace?
