Why'd you get out the game....

[cool cat]

It's easier and more fun when you don't care about being fast. I haven't really raced the fastback in the 10 years since I built the motor and did the T-5 swap, and it still makes me smile every time I drive it.

Doesn't seem like 10 years, didn't you freshen up the paint around the same time frame?

[Rreemo]

I just consider myself between Mustangs for the time-being. Got rid of my 13' last year after a position change at work made it impractical as a daily.

I've been keeping my eyes peeled for the right deal on a 93' Cobra...that will most likely be my next one.

Yeah, I said that wrong. Paint was 10 years ago, driveline was a little over 5 years ago. I'm gettin' forgetful in my old age.

Go spend 5k in mods on your 5.0 and spend 5k on a LS and I will get you 2 to 1 odds the LS will WHIP the shit out of the 5 liter. I got vids of me spraying a 1 100 shot in a Heads Cam coupe with TFS Heads and TFS Intake and N.41 and best time with a New Clutch and new Tires ran 7.80s on motor and 7.20s on spray. I run 6.80s in my Heads Cam LS car on motor and my LS3 car runs 7.20s on motor and its a 6spd

Sounds like a turd fox

I think a ford built right will stomp an ls car, although it'll cost twice as much to do it.

Example:

Built 363 can do 500whp

Built ls3 can do 500whp

still have at least one.

Only reason I'd get away from them is the frustration of working on them. Have my 92 LX power steering rack / rear main seal / oil pan seal issue right now that makes me wish the dam car would just crush me while I'm under it.

No power tools.
Jack stands.
Summer heat.
No one helping (don't want it anyway)

= Misery for me.

But I am powering through it and would rather have the car VS no fun car at all.

This is the first time I've been Foxless since 1981, and even though I swore I'd never get another one, I find myself browsing CL all the time, and am seriously wanting to talk to Jeremy about that silver coupe. If I do get another Fox though, I'd like to get a Fairmont wagon this time around. Something I've never had would be cool. I do still have the '12 though, but it's all stock again, just a daily driver.

[01-GATOR]

Never left, I think I will always own a foxbody. It doesn't have to be fast, it's just a fun car to drive.

[4king]

Because mine has been a dead reliable car for 10+ years requiring only oil changes.

Sounds retarded but I never thought buying a sports car with decent mods would be the best investment I ever made in my future.

Anyways 10+ years of daily driving and never having a car payment has been very rewarding. The camaro has literally been a blessing since it entered my life.

Everyone else I knew in the "game" always went too far, throwing too much money into a car, or getting too far under payments. my little $6500 beater I bought ten years ago has saved me from a lot of debt and helped me save a lot of coin when it came time for my wife and I to purchase a home last year when we turned 28

Whatever Mike! Your eating to many Fruit Loops, LMAO. There is a reason you dont see a ford motor in the Top 10 on Street Outlaws

Your coupe isnt that fast for being a Heads Cam Car. It sounds good. But you can take a Bolt On stalled LS1 and beat your best time all day every day. It is what it is man. I have love for the 5.0 Coupes! Just not thier motors. They dont win races and cost WAY TO MUCH to make fast! All 3 of my LS cars run Faster then 7.50s. Hell I just drove The Joker to Alabama and Tennessee and back to Texas and knocked down 25 mpg and ran 7.50s not even a month before. No 5.0 Pushrod motor with Heads and Cam and Intake will beat a LS Car mod for mod. PERIOD

[SEB]

And it was still slow?

Here is Supercoupe with 150 shot with Full Bolt On against my Heads Cam LS Car. Car is much faster now! Oh and im on Drag Radials Heavy ass 17.11 inch rims out back and 17.9s up front and he is on Slicks and Skinnys

Having one was fun for me when I was younger and more into chasing women and going to the street races and stuff. Even just the thrill of encountering other sports cars at a light with a long, empty straightaway in front of us was a lot of fun. Now that I'm older and more responsible, that doesn't appeal to me anymore. And the penalties for street racing are way worse now. And I care a lot more about my insurance going up due to speeding tickets, so I don't feel like I would get much reward or use out of daily driving a sports car. Maybe if I lived where there were better roads and less traffic, but I don't. Plus, now I'm a giant old fat guy with bad knees, so I pretty much avoid getting in and out of anything other than my big ol' truck or my old lady's SUV. And heck, I enjoy camping now more than anything else, so a truck makes a lot more sense.

I just can't come up with one single reason why I would want a sports car, and even if that ever changes, it would have to be something a lot better than a Mustang.
