… or the retarded shit like you post … here’s more fact, ‘Hemiroid’ … “The Altima Coupe, as part of the fourth-generation Altima design, utilizes Nissan’s all-new, highly acclaimed “D” platform with increased body rigidity and a redesigned suspension. This new platform was developed with the objective of making Altima one of the best performing large front-wheel drive vehicles available globally.”

Suck it, bitch … deep and wide. I own you.

And the people with more “experience” that you’re referringt o are the guys that are nearly twice my age that say retarded $H!T like, ” I had a stock 68 camaro with a 350 I put headers and a holley carb on and made 500 horsepower” yeah, their real knowledgeable. They don’t know their history either that the mustang is a PONY CAR.

Ok denton. People with much more experience? Uhh, ok, I guess you assume to know everything about me huh? Dude I have raced since I was 12. I drag race. I build a demo derby car every year. I have a 1970 Hemi Road Runner. I’ve had several other muscle cars, so how are you judging my experience? Your a guy that digs a chick car, get over it. You sound more like impulsive than you know. MUSTANGS ARE TARGETED TOWARDS WOMEN.

Who is the B!T(H on here telling me the mustang is the only muscle car? It’s NOT a muscle car, it’s a pony car dumb@$$. Mustangs SUCK, they have always been over-rated and targeted towards women and guys that can’t handle a REAL car. Yeah, they have a little power, but the one’s with the REAL power are so rare you’ll probably never see one other than in a magazine like your 429 Boss and 428 Cobra Jet, and those couldn’t even match the power of a Mopar 440 or 426 Hemi, or a Buick or Olds 455, or a Chevyrolet 427 or 454. So give it up with the sucky @$$ wannabe car known as the mustang. Oh, and 1000 special editions doesn’t make the car “exclusive” or “rare” anymore.

By: NoNameDenton1

NoNameDenton1 — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 08:00:41 +0000

Need4SSpeed, that reminds me of one of the reasons the Stang is so popular, it is easy to modify and there are so many companies out there that offer parts.

By: Need4SSpeed

Need4SSpeed — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:51:24 +0000

oh and one other good thing I’ll have to admit with the Mustang is how much aftermarket potential is out there for it.

By: Need4SSpeed

Need4SSpeed — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:49:30 +0000

nice, I was just wondering what body you had. I heard 600hp so I was wondering if you had an old Fox-body or something. A friend of mine has a 91 with a stroked out 396cid. It’s set up primarily for the drag strip but it’s street legal. Know another buddy that has a kenny bell s/c on his along with some bolt-ons on a 04 GT, and it’s pretty quick. Oh and another guy I knew just got an 03 Cobra with 550hp and is it quick. Do you race it on the strip primarily? or track? or just the street?

02WRXPSM, you do realize that if you were up against a professional driver, you would lose, you see, you can have all the power you want in a car, but what is the point if the drive can not harness it through his driving.

I’ll be honest in saying that I really don’t care for Mustangs. I also work and go to school in Dearborn, a.k.a “Ford Country” so I see soo many Mustangs in one day it’s not even funny. However what I like about the Mustang is the level of performance you get for the price. You basically can’t get a 2+2 seater, RWD 300hp V8 sports car brand new for 25k from any other auto maker. However the Mustang desperately needs to be updated, the solid rear axle needs to go, and desperately needs an IRS, and that iron block 4.6L V8 needs to go and switching to an aluminum block would help lighten and balance the Mustang.

The only problem I really had and I posted with my 35th comment about using all the fake hood scoops, with the V6 Mustang. Sorry when a Cobalt SS is faster than a V6 Mustang, then you know the V6 isn’t fast.

As for all the editions of the Mustang as long as they are performance oriented then I have no problem with it. How many Shelby GT*** Mustangs do you see? Or Roush Mustangs? Or Saleen Mustangs? Steeda? Parnelli Mustangs? As far as looks go I really like the new Bullit Mustang, and if Ford was to bring back the 5.0 engine, it would be pretty sweet to see a Boss 302, or to offer a Mach 1 again in the future.

Unfortunately as I mentioned with the current Mustangs suspension and weight is where it lacks. And I agree with Hateful83′s comment about a base Corvette outperforming a Shelby GT500.

TMSBrad, What year is your Stang?

By: 02WRXPSM

02WRXPSM — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 19:34:44 +0000

Denton, I’ve been up against 400hp cars before, and won easily. Horsepower is about 1/4th of the equation. Handling, weight and traction matter. Sure, I might have trouble in a straight drag race, but dragging is racing for people with no attention span. I’m about 110 hp over stock, but I’m also 3190lbs, AWD and set up in the suspension department. I eat Boxters and Audis for lunch, and I spent about $26k total. If I spent as much as it cost to get a Shelby GT500, I’d be well over that HP mark and still have better traction, cornering and weight/power ratio. The Mustang is a nice car to ride around in, but acting like it is some kind of performance benchmark is foolhardy. I can think of dozens and dozens of other cars besides a WRX/STI that could also easily put one in its place, and outlast it for 100k miles as well.

@hateful83: What Corvette do you have? What’s the point of benchracing a car you don’t own? I drive a 600-hp Mustang. I’ll put it up against whatever you’ve got.

@HemiRoadRunner: Mustang is no different than Camry? I don’t see every auto magazine subscriber comparing cars they wish they owned to Camry. Look at how many different cars have been compared to Mustang on just this one topic!

@Rafa LL: The Warrior Edition and the Pink Edition are the same car.

@02WRXPSM: We don’t drive these cars for women. We drive them because we love them. Again, I’ll put my Mustang against your Scooby any day of the week, on any course.

NoNameDenton1 — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 12:30:16 +0000

02WRXPSM, put your stock WRX against the Shelby GT500 or the GT500KR, it would crush your car. If you want a challenge, wait for the next gen with the 5 liter V8 with about 400hp (stock).

By: 02WRXPSM

02WRXPSM — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 07:12:21 +0000

What kind of bizarre fantasy land do you people live in, that you think you’ll get laid because of a rumbly exhaust or a plastic hood scoop? That may have happened in a Foreigner song, but I got news for you, the only girls turned on by that come with a price tag and leave you with an STD. Just idiotic. Almost as stupid as claims that this (or the last two) generations of Mustangs have anything to do with performance. I can’t tell you how many Mustang-driving neanderthal morons I have DESTROYED in my near-to-stock WRX. I’ll spot you 200hp if you agree to a section of road that has two or three turns in it — bye! Just last week some tool in a Mustang tried to follow me through a freeway interchange and almost got it sideways; I came out about ten car lengths ahead and he stayed behind me and tried to play it off for the next six miles. My co-worker has one of the limited-edition BOSS Mustangs, essentially a GT with yellow paint and lowering springs. The springs are so stiff and the chin spoiler so low that it rattles when he drives and actually shatters the glass in the fog lights (he’s on his third pair.) I sat him in my co-driver seat and took him through an empty parking lot at 70mph around the cement-base light posts. He won’t let me near his Mustang, he knows it wouldn’t survive! As for the Mustang being an American car, I’d bet 20% of that car is sourced in the US and the rest is made and built overseas and in Mexico — it better be, it looks so cheaply put together. As common as Civics and half as durable.

WOW!

@HemiRoadRunner This is the only real muscle car. Who’s the retard now? And, yes it is diferent from a civic or camry. Those are cars for poor college kids with bad taste or single moms who’ve decided to act like they’re already dead.

@RaineMan
The hood scoop looks great.

@02WRXPSM
It’s not a chick car,it’s a chick magnet. jayjc08 and johnnycanuck are right

@ teamfordpartsdotcom
You’re a smart man

@TMSBrad
They’re jealous because the mustang looks better than their civic si or srt-4 neon,and they’ve got no chance of scoring….

I agree with Brendino, Ford is just tapping into the fact that everyone wants a car that stands out from the crowd, individuality and so forth.

By: Brendino

Brendino — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 23:38:01 +0000

Why do people have a problem with special editions? Exclusivity in the auto industry is never a bad thing and it helps keep the profit margins up. I think it’s kind of appealing to know that the car you buy isn’t gonna look like every other one on the road.

Dude, it isn’t that it’s an ugly car that I don’t like it, it’s just so common that there is no special mystique to the car anymore. They become just another everyday car and it’s no diferent than seeing a civic or camry on the road. They aren’t rare enough to be special and because of that they seem souless to me. There isn’t that “hey check that out, a mustang!” feeling because they’re everywhere and evryone can get one at the snap of their fingers, and 25 G’s.

Mustang isn’t desirable? They sure sell a lot of ‘em for them to be undesirable.

By: hateful83

hateful83 — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:55:20 +0000

The thought is if they had a desirable product from the getgo they wouldn’t need to make 400 variations of it. Unfortunately, it’s chassis is it’s weak link. Consider that a base vette outperforms a Mustang GT500 in every category.

By: TMSBrad

TMSBrad — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:46:34 +0000

Why does it bother anyone that there are so many Mustang variants? No one’s forcing you to buy any of them or read any of the articles. You chose to click a link to read this story; it wasn’t forced on you. Your tax dollars aren’t being spent on them. Find something else to complain about.

By: hateful83

hateful83 — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 18:39:02 +0000

As noted with pretty much every other comment, the mustang has more variations than any other car I can think of. It should be it’s own sub brand, you’ve got ford, mercury, lincoln, and mustang. Unreal, and I swear of a years worth of MotorTrends, about 8 issues have some “new” mustang on the front. Give it a rest.

What the hell is pwned? Anyway, this is a chick car, accept it. It still has a nice body style but it certainly doesn’t live up to real muscle cars like the Super Bee, Chevelle, Torino Cobra etc. It’s just another mainstream car that’s too common to have anything special and unique about it. My 2 cents.

LLN is getting closer. It’s not a “Performance Package”, only appearance. The whole paragraph starting with “The Performance Package model should see at least a few changes…” should be deleted.

The APPEARANCE Package does NOT get new racing stripes, it does NOT get a larger hood scoop, it does NOT get revised wheels, it does NOT get a revised front fascia, and the grille is exactly the same as last year’s.

Journalism is dead.

By: inline6

inline6 — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:52:55 +0000

No way that’s a Shelby.

This car has the same front fascia as a standard V6 Mustang, just with a billet grille from what looks to be JC Whitney.

Seeing what Ford did with the 35th and 40th anniversary Mustangs, all cars will have the 45th anniversary badging, from V6 autos to the GT500.

Yawn.

Only 2 Detroit models have survived since the 60s without a name change or a missing production gap: the Mustang and the Vette (if you discount that goofy ’83-’84 thing). Both cars still enjoy tremendous popularity because of that. Those of you who think the ‘Stang is a chick car need to grow a pair yourself. It’s just a popular car. Period. And no, not the one that involves a string at the end.
