Mustangs... EVERYWHERE!
 

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?

Re: Mustangs... EVERYWHERE!
 

im in florida too...and i think its a state-wide thing...but a large majority are the 6cyl. ones....i like seeing my V8 up next to em..hehe...seems im pretty much an *** for rubbing my GT in their faces, but its my only glory....lol :D...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!!! :D

9 out of 10 are V-6 auto's. You don't see that many GT's

*cough* echo? *cough*....hehe just messin with ya :p :D

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, :eek: alteeza's, barf.:rolleyes: :D

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.. :D

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!

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 :D

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,

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.

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.

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.

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

Re: Mustangs... EVERYWHERE!
 

I see no reason for this to be depressing :rolleyes:

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.

Damn Yankee's, they can't appreciate beautiy when they see it.

Re: Re: Mustangs... EVERYWHERE!
 

that was beautiful...

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.

bwuahaha....sorry....i thought that was worth a laughing post...rofl :p:p:p

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

:)

Take care,

When they bring back something like this:

...then i will rejoice :)

Having alot of Mustangs around sounds freakin sweet to me. I don't know why someone who likes them wouldn't want them around.:confused: Where I live you can't go on the roads without seeing a Mustang, and I wish that there were even more of them around.:D If ya ask me there is no such thing as too many Mustangs no matter what kind they are. V6s, GTs, Cobras I love em all.:)

and like i said...its always nice to park you new GT next to an old GT, etc. It's kinda cool to see two mustangs in a row....and i especially love it on the very odd occasion i see a black gt conv. like mine...i saw one two weeks ago....some chick was driving it and gave me a death stare "like, oh my god! why is he driving my car?!!?"....silly girls (NOT all of you...lol)....thats prolly the only case where ive been upset with a mustang driver...i love mustangs..wooo! go mustang!...hehe

lol...doesn't matter to me...sales on the new camaros were very very low...but i am also very very aware how much faster they are than my car :D....esp. since my brother drives the SS version...vrrooom!...beats me on the road by like 5 car legths...hehe...

I was referring to the 2004 GTO.

Take care,
~Chris

whoah! you got pics??? specs? got beer?! lol

didnt know they were bringing back the GTO, thats awesome...but you replied to the camaros and firebirds being discontinued...so i thought you were talking about the plans to bring back the older style camaros....so :P...lol

the front looks an awful lot like the grand am/prix....

it's ugly. screw rounded corners and aerodynamics.

just my opinion, hope it doesn't offend anyone. i'm just a classic muscle fan that's all.

regardless, thanks for the link and the pic bro :cool:

That's pretty much the signature Pontiac "look".

:)

~Chris

I hear ya. I tend to feel like the more rounded a vehicle is, the more feminine it is (ie: 97+ F150's), but that seems to be the way things are going. I was just pleased to see that GM had inked a new LS1 powered, rear wheel drive sports car. With the demise of the F-bodies, the Mustang had little domestic competition, and it is competition that makes things faster. There is even a rumor floating around of an '05 or '06 GTO Judge, with a supercharged V8.

LOL. Actually it's probably been warmer in Toronto than Dallas, atleast up to last week. The problem with GT's in Canada is that

1. with our taxes and exchange rate most people can't afford a GT.
2. If you can afford a GT, you then have to worry about paying CDN$0.80+ per litre (or roughly US$2.00+ per gallon)
3. Our Winters are longer and Summers are shorter. So either you pay all this money to drive you car a few months of the year or you drive it in the snow, which trust me, SUCKS!
Of course Canada is a very big country. Over the last couple days Toronto has seen temps nearing 100 deg and area's near Calgary had snow!

So all considering, people that can afford GT's are buying a summer car and already have the money to "upgrade" on a vert.

dont forget insurance rates and that taxes are like 80%....

jj_jonathon is that a factory hood on your 02? funny... my scoop doesn't stick up like that on my 00.

Actually the insurance is not that bad in Canada. It's the fact that at the end of the day, of the money I make I seriously have less than 33% left for the goods I want. The AVERAGE Canadian pays approximately 67% of there income back to the Canadian government!!:eek:

well, ricing out mustangs...i got you all beat.

yesterday, i was driving my NON RICE V6 home from work, and i came up to the light and what do i see?
A RICED OUT 2003 COBRA!!!

Some guy put altezzas on a 03 COBRA! And, no it wasnt a V6 with a bodykit, he took off at the light and i heard the exhaust and the blower...it was real.

Gayest thing i've ever seen, but wtf could anyone say to him. His car could smoke half the cars on the road.

yes its factory :)...i dont think it was a dealer option cuz i see them like this at al the ford dealerships around here and down the road...i believe they started putting that fake hood scoop on in 02...might have been 01, but i dont think so....id like to make it functional someday :D...i think it makes it look better honestly, a better distinguishing characteristic than the dual exhaust from the V6s....you can buy the plastic scoop for under $100 and bolt it on...many places online sell em...dunno if youd really wanna put a plastic one on there as aftermarket tho..lol

^ is one of the many reasons my parents took us to the states....oh and the fact that schools are basically a joke now...i remember missing 2 months in 8th grade because teachers were on strike...thats one union that they need to kill off FAST...not like the kids are being up there anyways...down here teaches make nothing past 30k american...and thats a very nice salary...most of em make about 20k...course our wonderful governor is killing even more funding this year (he's pro-education tho) so i know of a few very good teachers that left this year because they just needed to make more money to support their kids...good thing i graduated last year...but i have a younger brother facing this upcoming epidemic for two more years :\...sounds like we've got the opposite problem of canada...lol....i went off on a tangent here, but i guess it was a little venting....:)

eheh nah, i'll pass on the aftermarket plastic scoop :)

might as well save for a whole new hood...

mustangs everywhere
 

At Gateway International Raceway on wednesday night test and tune I see about 40% mustangs and 40% camaros of the street cars. The camaros win 90% of the time. Most of the camaro and mustang street cars that show up are newer models. Mustang GT's are all that is really left right now as far as affordable new V8 sports cars go. If you want to be different with a mustang then you just need to keep it in good shape for long enough time. How many nice 71 Mach 1's do you see driving down the road?

HALF the cars on the road?!?. More like 99.99% of the cars on the road :)/

I absolutely HATE the euro lights! on any car, mustang or rice!

And one of the many reasons I would like to return to the USA.
