Default Stang rating site

www.ratemystang.com

I am sure most of you know about it. I put the same pic in my avatar up there and it came out blurry for some reason.

Anyway, the site is cool, but the numbers are a joke. On a 1-10 scale a brand new stock GT with aftermarket wheels might get a 6 or 7, while a clean Fox car that has been wrenched on for years usually gets a 4 or so.

Check it out, you'll get a laugh.

Based on your description of the scale, I wonder what a 10 would be???

I'll give mine a 10!

Take care, E

My pic came out blurry, but I figured in my head my car would get a 7 or so. I would vote a clean stocker as a 5. I think right now I am around a 4.0. Less than a new stock Mustang!

There are a few other street/strip cars that look great, and they are all voted pretty low. Even the comment section is abused for the most part.

The people that are voting are probaly 10 years old, and have a ricer. I think I'd give your car a......7-8, looks pretty bad *** to me. 10 being an exotic.

Currently the Yellowjacket is at 6.8...
It must be the headlight covers and the stripes...

Hammer I thought everyone was giving you a 10? And when everyone was giving you a 10, your rating was like 9.5, so i don't understand that.....

Is that you in the "yellow jacket" in your avatar?

Yea, I've noticed that there's some sort of bias against fast cars that don't come from "neato" tuners at those rating sites. You had it: probably some 10 year olds who play Gran Turismo 3 too much... (I must admit the game is pretty cool)

As far as the avatar, no that's not me....
I'll have to find an old carrier pic of me and get it scanned.
(Me without the beer gut.... ahhh the memories....)

Which one did you mainly use? The reason I ask is because I have like 20 Adobe programs, and half of them I haven't even checked them out.
