u seem to be an exception b/c popular belief (and an example that my friend's 2002 mustang has already broken down) says that mustangs (and most domestics in general) have a bad reputation in terms of reliability.. you're an exception

once again, i never doubted that you can make a mustang 5.0 fast as hell for little money, i simply disregarded them in my post b/c they are (generally) known to be unreliable and well.. this might be opinion, but many ppl think they are ugly.. all the 5.0's i see around town are dirty, have different colored body parts, rusted out, broken headlights, bad tint job, and look just plain ghetto.. i couldn't picture a 5.0 in a car show, no offense.. but i must you that you have done a good job with your car, i respect your ride totally
I hardly ever see 5.0s like you describe down here. I guess you live in a bad part of the country or something. I see clean ass 5.0s daily. Granted, they will gave ya problems, more than imports, but the only problem I've had is (i think) associated with the afformentioned. Oh well.

:werd: I see nice 5 liters around here all the time. And about them being ugly, I think the '87-'93s are a hell of a lot nicer looking than the '94-'98s. Only recently have the GTs started looking nice again.

to each his own.. from my experiences i've never seen a clean 5.0 in person, we could go back and forth debating this but it would be pointless so i'll just end it here.. i respect your car a lot and it's a helluva lot faster than i'll ever be able to make my car go, it's just that 5.0s and other 'stangs aren't my cup of tea

Whatever, pay your money to race your stock ass cars. If you wanna get into racing then get into racing. I'm sorry you only make 6.75 an hour. If you can't afford it then get another hobby. a 14 second car is slow no matter what kind of car it is. If your are a serious enthusiast then great. It just burns me to see all these ricers lined up at the track talking **** about this mod and that mod when they run 17 second quarter miles. If you don't like my opinion then fine I could care less. But if you go to the track often and you have a slow car each time, then you are pathetic, plain and simple. I have much respect for the autcross scene but that type of racing takes a serious enthusiast to make civic competitive also.

And I bet there are people there that say the same thing about you when you go there. Racing is like weightlifting...no matter how fast/strong, there will always be someone better...does that mean you shouldn't go to the gym??? No.

no crap Redcivic. I just got a raise to $5.95 an hour and haven't been making that much since I began the hobby 4 years ago. Add to that I only work about 20 hrs a week and go to school fulltime. Its damn hard for me to mod my car. and have fun. and pay bills. Don't hate broke people.

I could see where it is pretty lame to run a 17 sec car though. thats embarassing.

redcivic... you just need to shut the hell up. Saying someone should find another hobby simply because they can't afford every goddamn thing because they have a bad job is just plain retarded. You like cars and you supposedly have the money to finance them, so why don't you import a Skyline, hmm? Can't afford it? Then maybe you should get the **** outta the import scene, jackass. I agree that a slow car is a slow car, but how can you be such a hater for someone who is modding slowly up to having a real fast car? Don't whine so goddamn much about your track runs. Did you buy your car while it was running whatever it does? How long did it take you to mod your cars? I'm fairly certain you didn't just magically come up with 3 grand to swap the engine. You had to work for it. That's what I'm doing, so don't you ever tell me, or anyone else for that matter that they should get out of something that they love simply because they have to work for it.

Mods, please forgive me.

You sir are a moron. I hate people that make fun of poor people. Just because someone can't afford something doesn't mean they can't do it or have it as a hobby.

Whatever, that's my view. If you don't like it, blow me.
