Mustangs... EVERYWHERE!

beach · 08-01-2002, 10:00 PM

Sheesh... is it me or does every other person in the US own a mustang? I gotta admit, it's almost depressing driving down the road and passing a mustang every 500 feet.

I love my stang though. But wtf lol?

...but if you lived in ontario youd be saying, "why does everyone drive a minivan!?" teehee...

Best we keep the Stang ratio highs to the increasing ricer threat!!!

tireburner163 · 08-01-2002, 10:42 PM

Crazy Horse GT · 08-02-2002, 01:34 AM

most of the stang's in my area are v-6's, no big, i dont mind them if, they arent riced out if they are then i laugh at them, but i have seen some riced gt's also,makes me sick, why oh why, i saw a nice 5.0 the other day, he get's in the turning lane,

alteeza's, barf.

jj_jonathon · 08-02-2002, 01:38 AM

most people have the v6 (i still wanna call it the lx..lol) because it costs much less, and much less in insurance...lots of people cant afford a gt...plus i know a girl who didnt want one cuz of the scoop...lol...i know she did it cuz of looks not its non-functionality (lol)...so i laugh at her...hehe....shes got a black v6 hardtop....dah well... :\ a chacun son gout! or for those who didnt take french in high school/college (hehe) ...to each their own..

joe4speed · 08-02-2002, 02:16 AM

yeah there are alot of stangs here in FL. But there are also alot of sweet ones too, so the make up for the majority of old beat up ones!

cyberstang5.0 · 08-02-2002, 07:50 AM

I live in the 4th biggest city in the US and I see TONS of Mustangs.

Most of them are 6's, every once and a while I'll see the GT's, and Cobra's are a rare sighting. Never the less, if it's a Mustang, I always enjoy seeing them, and never get tired of them

PKRWUD · 08-02-2002, 07:57 AM

Yeah, there's tons here as well. Seems to be about 40% 94+, 20% 79-93, 5% 74-78, and 35% 64.5-73.

Take care,
~Chris

beach · 08-02-2002, 08:30 AM

ah so it's not just me. same here though, seems about 70 - 80% of em are 6 cyls, which is fine with me because that puts me in the elitist group! *sound of flowmasters screamin*

also i noticed the mustang/camaro ratio is like 4/1. not that i'm really complaining about that either, but it'd be nice to have some more camaros around to wipe the floor with hehe.

why do ya think that is? i think it's because camaros are BUTT ugly nowadays. waaaaaaaay too long, and those gigantic doors! what were they thinking?

i say bring back the late 60s body style! nothin turns my head more than a hopped up 69 camaro with centerlines and a nice big blower stickin out the hood

you GOTTA admit they look saweeeet.

SilverGT02 · 08-02-2002, 09:20 AM

Yeah, I hate seeing alot of stangs around.

Thats one reason I love my truck, there isnt too many around by me, and I always get compliments on it.

1969Mach1 · 08-02-2002, 10:07 AM

What'ch ya talking about Minivans in Ontario? lol But seriously we don't have that many, I see plenty of Mustangs. I see quite abit of GT's mostly conv. though, I seen a Saleen every week or two. (Seen one last night) I see a Cobra every now and then. I see alot of 64.5 to 68 coupes, there 2 other 69 Mach1's, a coupe, a 70 Mach1 in my town. And we only have a population of 60,000. I'm sure if I go right into Toronto I'll see more.

§am.

SilverGT02 · 08-02-2002, 10:15 AM

I would think a convertible in Canada would be a rare thing...Isnt it really cold?

I see no reason for this to be depressing

If you actually sat down and thought about it, it would probably be MORE upsetting if Mustangs were such shitty cars that NO ONE wanted to drive them. I've heard endless jokes about the "Me too, Me too" Mustang trend, but who really cares?

Trying to express individuality with a PRODUCTION vehicle that is replicated tens of thousands of times is silly, and impossible. Just hook up your Mustang the way YOU like, and rejoice in the fact that you own a namesake that has endured for decades and has earned such an immense following.

that was beautiful...

Stang_Crazy · 08-02-2002, 12:16 PM

I am always glad to see Mustang's on the road. Keep in mind, the sales #'s of the V6 are what keeps the Mustang atop its platform. These consistent sales lets Ford experiment with new cars and technology (i.e. 03 Cobra). If it wasn't for the V6 selling the way it does, the Mustang would face the same fate as Camaro/Firebird.

You are aware of the fact that GM is bringing back a rear wheel drive LS1 300+ hp car in 2004, aren't you?
