No you have mentioned this drag car thing with them, When i said about going too the shops the normal everyday driving things you said they don't go too the shops, That has been one of the topics in this thread about the drag racing side of the stang.
But what makes it a performance car is more then it's engine.The EVO is most definetly a track weapon. And its not that hard of a comparison, ones a performance engine, the other is not (just like the Mustang.)
Shit you got me thereWhats the price of a Civic Si over there? Put it around that price, or maybe a little cheaper than the SS commedore.I'm not sure we sell it?.
You can make a none performing 6 into a performing 6 thats the challengeNo no, dont confuse me saying 6 cylinders dont perform, the ones made to do perform. Its just the V6 Mustang is like the base model Lancer, thats not to say 4 cylinders cant perform, but that car is not something a performance enthusiast is going to buy. The V6 in the Mustang is not a performance engine (heh, its actually the engine used in the explorer)., But in saying that explorer
.
Unless it was better.Whats the difference if they are just going to eventually swap out the IRS for a solid axle anyway?
I'll try.Go for it, ask him the year and model.
And FYI its not the same rear.
Yes that would have been the best thing. I think the old AU Falcon offered IRS as a option. The VS Commodore also and it's hard too find any VS without IRS.IMHO they should have offered the IRS as an option, that would solve all the problems.
And when doing laps at tracks they probably get passed by them IRS versionI dont know sales of the IRS Cobras, but I do know die hards were not happy about the IRS, many swapped out for a 9" rear.
At first it wasn't, When first built it might have the same market as the Commodore it was built too Australian conditions which makes it hard enough for any market. Then it found it's way into bob Lutz's hands and he demanded it into the U.S market.The thing is the Monaro was built knowing that it would be sold worldwide, while the Mustang was built specifically for America. Sure some are sent to Europe and Australia, but very small numbers.
They built the Monaro in secret in there spare time at first, Then they got the go ahead.

I never said they dont go shopping, just they dont buy them to go shopping in (like a van or some economy car). They are generally bought for performance, but that doesnt mean they cant go shopping in them, get what Im saying?
Yes, i completely agree, but Im just giving anexample.But what makes it a performance car is more then it's engine.
Sure you can, but it would be easier, cheaper and smarter to start with a perfomance engine in the first place. On top of that I dont think the V6 in the stang has a very big aftermarket (if anyone at all).You can make a none performing 6 into a performing 6 thats the challenge
Sorry, should be more specific. I mean for those of who are going to be dragracing. Thats also why I think they should have made IRS an option, maybe they will with the facelift in '08 or '09.Unless it was better.
Post a pic of what it looks like if you dont get to talk to the owner soon. Also im curious to how much the person paid for it if they dont mind telling you.I'll try.
And when doing laps at tracks they probably get passed by them IRS version
You probably wouldnt see the guys with the 9" on a race track (with turns), they swap them out for drag.
Maybe in time the Mustang will follow that path, then again maybe Ford Europe doesnt want to give their own cars competition.At first it wasn't, When first built it might have the same market as the Commodore it was built too Australian conditions which makes it hard enough for any market. Then it found it's way into bob Lutz's hands and he demanded it into the U.S market.

As slicks said where many americans live no its not. Most americans live on or by a straight road therefore a car that has crazy handeling is useless. In america drag tracks are more common then circuts exspecially in my neck of the woods.Well...it is

Oh Lord. Interstates, the most used of roads aren't even straight-take 95 for example. The only place where trully straight roads are common is in cities. Not even all the roads in a city are straight. Most of the roads in my area are anything but straight and I, for one, prefer it that way. If you ever want to have any fun with a car it better handle well or at least stop impeccably. Handling is imperitive in almost any highspeed situation.

Looks pretty strait to me...
Check out I70 and 40/64 that run through MO (my state), almost literally a strait line. And when Im talking about curvy roads, Im talking about the ones that you actually have to turn the steering wheel more than gradually an inch.
Depends on where you live, and how you define 'fun'. I still have fun doing rolling to 100+ acceleration runs, and rarly have to move the steering wheel at all. (dont jump on my back guys, I make sure no one is around when going this fast.)The only place where trully straight roads are common is in cities. Not even all the roads in a city are straight.

it was about an American car with great straight line capabilities, which is now on the way out.
