![]() Well I said that some are tired...but not dead. I drive my low mileage Vortech Supercharged 94 GT everyday and punish ricers on a daily basis. I also still have my first car since I was 17...1989 LX Coupe 5.0 25th Anniversary. The 5.0 will never die! Alls I'm saying is that most of them that are prowling around on the streets have or are coming close to the 200,000 miles stretch..so their age is showing a bit.

![]() That is specifically what I love about my 86 5.0. The fact that it has aged much, the top is ragged, and is beginning to show its age, the fact that it has 173k miles on the clock and woops some serious ***.
Every time I beat someone,you know they gotta say...WTF DAMMINT! Whenever I get the chance, I boast about my high milage and it has not effected my time too much. They all think "oh, old mustang, no problem" when They get beat, they remember all the old rumors about the 5.0. I raced a young asian kid a couple of years back in a hopped up "looking" brandnew veedub golf with 2 big white racing stripes, lowered, wheels, exhaust, you get the idea. thought he was real hot ****. I was in my vert stang. I murdered the guy, I tore him a new A##hole. (this was one of the most gratifying events ever in my car) When we came up to the signal, he rolled down his window, and was slightly stuttering, and said "your a 5.0 huh?" and I said, yep. He could not believed my old car packed such a can of whoopass. Our cars may be old, and technology has advanced much,to the point where some 4 bangers can give us a good race, but one fact still arrives: Many of us payed less than 3 grand for our 14 second Fox mustang, and you just payed 16-20 grand for your 15.3 import. Hmmmm

![]() And in there shows your short sightedness....
if you could afford a car and you wanted to go straight line or road race a mustang can do both equally as well.... and always cheaper than an import.... so i guess you just like to spend money without any thought....more power to you if you got it like that.... ![]() ![]()

performance and aftermarket support is/was a priority, but i am not willing/able to sacrifice the following to squeeze a little more performance -i want a turbo -i need a new car. i got a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. a warranty ensures that i'll have a car to drive when i do need it serviced. i also need to build credit to buy a house. -my insurance premium is substantially lower than a mustang -i need the practical storage space of a real hatchback -parking is an issue where i live, i park on the street, the short length of the volkswagen allows me to park in spaces where i couldn't fit other cars. i like that
