Mustang?

[acfsambo]

A 2005-07 Mustang pulled up next to me at the Petrol Station today, wasnt stock, but i couldnt tell if it was a special bought or modified himself.
It didnt sound stock and it has a carbon fibre spoiler (I think, it was black at least) that yellowy orangew colour and 302 labelling all over it and it also had a shaker.

If anyone could please tell me if it is a specially tuned mustang by a company and post a pic so i can confirm or if he just bought aftermarket stuff and installed it himself.

[digitalcraft]

to make it worse, they cost $100k+ after the RHD conversion
although that at least limits the amount sold. lazy ford

Why would anyone want a Mustang GT when they could get a Falcon?

[fpv_gtho]

Because a Falcon is 200kg heavier, 5 seat, a sedan, and have 40K extra on the street every year.

Sub Par product? That sub par product scored best in intial quality. Could you please tell me how many of these mustangs you have driven to come to this conclusion?:rolleyes:

excuse me if i'm not suddenly awestruck at ford's quality. it's quality is never an issue. it's still sub par vehicle here thanks to ford's stupidity, no wonder they'e going broke.
you're saying a mustang is worth the 100K+ they cost after conversion? in that context, it is most definatley sub par, by a long shot. worth 40k, maybe.
thanks to ford's laziness, they cry for money and yet the only other market in the world open for V8 coupes, they don't even bother selling rustangs there.

If you want a real Mustang, buy one from the 60's.

whats the problem with mustangs? theyre just as cool now as they were 40 years ago

[kingofthering]

That retro stuff is getting on my nerves. Yes it's cool, but I think that the Mustang from Bullitt is much cooler.

the old ones are priced quite well, too. 100k for a one dimensional plastic muscle car, no thanks.

that stang you saw with the 302 written all over it probably had that 302 "Crammer" engine in it. good stuff, but its got nothing on the current crop of gm small blocks out there right now.

[ThisBlood147]

Keep it in perspective folks. The Mustang is made for the North American market.......where you can have a 300hp GT model brand new for as low as 25K(US). You cannot beat its performance/price ratio with anything sold in the North American market. Just because you have eggheads across the pond that are willing to pay tens of thousands more to import them and do RHD conversions shouldn't take anything away from what the Mustang is and has always been: an affordable entry level sports coupe.

The 5.0 "Cammer" you so jokingly refer to is not street legal......its an entry level Ford race motor. The engine in the PJ Edition Mustang this guy probably saw is a 24V 4.6 stroked out to a 5.0....and it makes 400bhp. Last time I checked, it took a GM motor with 6.0 liters to do the same job.:p

I'll take my 2000 335 cu.in., 385 hp Cobra R over the older stang's.
It has good handling and has a stable top speed over 150 mph. Does 12's in the quarter.Pulls a full 1g in the twistes.
Plus only 300 where made. Now thats a modern classic.

But it would be tough to pass up a sweet Boss 429 for 50K.
