KStang3.8

i'm sorry, i guess you misunderstood my comment. I think its fucking awesome and i am jealous 1000 times over. I only hope that i can someday do something similar. Unfortunately, i guess i don't check around enough so i haven't seen any thread about this on CR, so thats why i posted to ask info. To me it is a huge deal, all i meant to say was, does it have a large following, like, is it as big as the one in Europe. I wasn't trying to shit on it or anything. Cool your jets man.

Ya i didn't even know about that either. This is fucking awesome. Doc is the shit for being in the lead of that thing. How many entrants are there in this rally? Like is this a pretty big deal?

I could watch videos from those races all day. So fucking awesome.

oh damn you're right the S8 is a monster. and duh i know it doesn't really make up that much that's why i put

94-98 GT's were slow. they only had 215 hp from 96-97, 225 in 98, not sure what it was before but i think less. thats only 20-30hp more than my v6, and supposedly i made up that much with CAI and Exhaust . The 99-04 made 260hp and could do good things with just bolt ons, i doubt you'd smoke it like that.

car changes? 0. Changes on what i desire for my next car? 2. from Mustang to Turbo'd car back to Mustang. but cmon that thread was like a month and a half ago atleast lol talking about my own car? well, lets count. stock > m112 > stock > windstar intake > stock > Fuel upgrades > better appearance so... 6! final result, try to get better mpg's and make her look nicer since i'll have her for awhile. and that was 6 over like....10 months. so there. this time i've made up my mind forreal though. ps. my front bumper is kind of messed up, gonna take it to Kevin Clifford once i'm done with school (june) and ask him if it looks like he could put that mach 1 chin spoiler on it, or if he could fix it so he could put it on there. then tint it, then lower it, SHABAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw, 2011 v6 mustang: 305hp 31mpg (stock 13.8 1/4 mile). Fast AAAANNNDD good on gas, thats what i'm talking about!!!

based on people's comments, it seems that the consensus is that either A. it looks better stock, or B. it looks good enough stock to save my damn money. i think i'll just lower it, and probably tint it too thanks all.

oh okay i dig. that is a new idea, hmm... i guess i'll have to start looking around for cheap wheels. I might ask that guy how much his cobra wheels would cost me.

Thanks to those with constructive answers lol I'm considering this, lip is 100 and i can get the wheels done for 250...so thats $350. I can get tinted for 130 so thats $480 total. i have $450 available to blow on my car (i can loan 30 bucks from my dad lol). I figure appearance is a smarter route than performance, lol Anybody second this? get rid of the mustang stripe and the stripe just below the windows? I'd love to get some different wheels, but the price just wouldn't work for me. I could get the starfish wheels for 275 then 250 to powdercoat thats 525...over budget and no room for tint which i really want. To all who said get a new car: if i had the money, i would. I'm saving my money so i can buy a brand new v6 mustang in 2013 when i graduate , but i won't have near the money for a car worth buying until then.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/Omally23/38beauty.png my car with stock wheels OR http://i913.photobucket.com/albums/ac333/torchred02pics/Picture011-1.jpg This random dudes car with the same wheels powdercoated black. i guess the question is, should i keep it stock or get em painted black?

i have been proven wrong.

So what qualifications are there for a "group buy"? Can you give more details on that? For example, i want my wheels done, and maybe brake calipers, but other people are mentioning bike parts and intercooler piping, etc. Do i need to get others looking to have their wheels done to qualify for a group buy?

Awesome man!!! i'm jealous!!! Hope everything works out well with it!

They're generally 18K plus for decent mileage that i've seen. That Speed6 is a great car and that many miles for that amount is awesome. Glad i could help you . Post if you end up getting it.

i respect those of you who serve more than i could ever express in words. One of my best friends served 6 years in iraq in the marines and he told me about the tip of the iceberg of the shit he did/saw. mad respect for all you guys. there's just 5 douchebags from my highschool who don't earn my respect ^_^ lol. Maybe when they get back and i see who they've become i will. but not for now. sorry if my posts made any of those of you who served feel disrespected. i respect you all beyond words.

my point is that they probably will do a bad job serving their country. I want people to do a good job of that.

i don't think you took my post in the sense it was meant, everyone else did. There's no need to insult me and such. No where in my post did i say how i was better than everyone else, how i'm gonna have an awesome job. Hell i said i was 80th in my class, thats embarassing to me. If you can't get higher than a 2.0 gpa at a really shitty school, there coudd be 2 different reasons. 1. you have some sort of family problems or something going on, or you're just not motivated, so you don't try OR 2. you're a stupid mother fucker, not really good for anything besides asking me my order McDonalds. The kids i'm talking about were #2. They were complete assholes to everyone, especially people who tried to help them. They tried hard but couldn't even pass "integrated math" and "reading lab" (those are the classes for idiots btw, like they studied slope senior year in math class, me and my classmates studied that in 7th grade). They were the kids who hid their drugs in their lockers, got in fights at school, got drunk and wrecked their parents cars, etc. I'm nothing special, i'm no genius. I think i'm pretty intelligent, but i work hard for my grades. I was blessed with alot of physical capability, but its not like i'm playing college ball (basketball) or anything. I'm sure walking down the street i can find 10 people i'd destroy and 10 who'd destroy me. I'm not one to judge others, but these kids were worthless, bottom of the barrel kids. I am proud to say that i'm 1000 times the person they will ever be. So they served their country, but its not like theyre gonna be officers or anything. That is IF they survive boot camp. As soon as theyre done with service they'll be blowing all their money on drugs and alcohol, and become the no good, worthless, mcdonalds employees they were destined to be. My statement was meant to be this: thats not who i want defending my country. The military should have some sort of application process. Some sort of mental aptitude test, some sort of physical ability test. I don't expect the whole military to know calculus, but i'd like to know that they are smart enough to make good decisions when other's lives are on the line. Sure, anyone can be trained to carry a gun and a backpack, and follow basic commands "run over there, shoot those A-rabs, retreat." But what if you're stuck in a building with 2 other guys from your unit and one is injured. The building is full of hostiles. I don't want some dumb ass kid in that situation, i want someone who is capable of a high level of critical thinking who's going to come up with a good solution to get out and get to safety, while saving his own ass and his two friend's asses. The kids i described from my highschool, they wouldn't survive that situation.

He said he wants 6k, but he just signed for a house and needs money with the next 2 weeks, so he'll take anything for it if he can't get rid of it in time, lol. i was thinking of waiting a week and offering like 4,000 for it, my bro could get a loan and do that much. not much more than that though. thanks for the advice little guy, i do not think its a GTS. My bro probably will try to get something more stock/less riced out anyways. I'll tell him to look for a GT-S and check out that website. thanks. thanks to everyone else as well.

do you think this car would work as a DD? would it be reliable and everything? last awhile?

i was answering this part. sorry if my response was incorrect.

http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/1731938888.html my friend is selling this. he said it has 147,000 on the body and 5,000 on the new motor. My older brother has always loved celicas, and as his current car (camry 19x,xxx miles) gets older and crappier he's started to look for a new car. He's a poor as shit new college graduate living in oxford ohio working in a tattoo parlor, so he doesn't exactly have alot of money for another car. do you think this car would work as a DD? would it be reliable and everything? He's not looking to race it or take it to the track or anything. Just likes how it looks, likes toyotas, looking for a cheap DD.

Ya anyone who knows would have to know what car it is Tons of Mustang terminator Cobra guys have twin turbo setups... so that makes me think it would be fine.

Not being involved with the military does not make you a pussy. At my highschool, the only people who joined the military straight out of school were the kids who always got in trouble, were far less intelligent than most, and barely made it through Reynoldsburg High School (a joke of an education) with a 1.something gpa. Out of 435 people in our graduating class i was in the 80's with a 3.65 gpa. Over half of our class graduated with over a 3.0.....thats how easy it was to do. and these kids couldn't even break 2.0. They were the kids who were socially awkward who everyone considered to be "losers." I'm glad i'm not one of those losers. And i'm not a pussy either, i could beat the shit out of any of those kids. i'm not saying everyone who joins the military is a loser or anything like that. There are alot of people in the military who make me look like a loser. I'm just mentioning something i observed in my highschool. The people i described are not the people who i would trust to defend me, you know?

probably just the aftermarket stuff. exhaust, intercooler, lowered, etc. thats my guess, but i'm no expert. look at a mazdaspeed 6. Its a really awesome car. or 3 for that matter. both are great cars. http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=39916605&listingRecNum=5&criteria=sf1Dir%3DDESC%26alMdId%3D21450%26mkId%3D20073%26stkTyp%3DU%26mdId%3D21450%26rd%3D150%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId%26zc%3D43210%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D1-1-0%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26sf1Nm%3Dprice%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26alMkId%3D20073%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=national http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=41901307&listingRecNum=6&criteria=sf1Dir%3DDESC%26alMdId%3D21450%26mkId%3D20073%26stkTyp%3DU%26mdId%3D21450%26rd%3D150%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId%26zc%3D43210%26rn%3D0%26PMmt%3D1-1-0%26stkTypId%3D28881%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26sf1Nm%3Dprice%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26alMkId%3D20073%26rpp%3D50%26feedSegId%3D28705&aff=national
