BOUGHT 01 GT!!!!!!!

[Pro-Hawk]

I'm feeling that. After I paid $25k for an 01 GT, I felt like an idiot even though the car was brand new. For that price, I shouldn't have to deal with having less horsepower than a friggin Nissan Maxima. ..... I HATE talking about V8's!

Always nice to hear from a fellow Texan for sure

Well I hate talking about V8's also...how about them four bangers J/k but crap you get such a rush from beating a V8 with a smaller motor its unbieveable. To me the V6 mustangs is awsome since hell they start out with like 195hp already (99'+) which isn't that much less than there V8 counter parts

Hey, I didn't even realize you were from Texas. I like the old school 4 banger Stangs...I had a 1981 4 banger..rust bucket with like a million miles on it, but it was a stick and I had a fun time with it for a first car. I can honestly say that I'm very very happy with the power I get from my 03 V6. I have no clue what horsepower I'm at, I just know its really fun to drive, it takes alot less gas than a V8, it's cheaper insurance-wise, and around here, my car sticks out in a crowd. Everyone has a GT, even soccer moms. So when they see the V6 logo, they just look like "What the heck is that?" lol. Yeah, I'm gonna keep her (my car) as long as I can.

Yup, born and raised here in Midland, Texas

I just got back from the local track and there was a 01' V6 Auto stang that was running high 14's He was about to beat this 96-98 ish GT again when he busted his rear end up It was kinda funny...I went over to check out what he had broke and the read was jacked up and he was spinning the tires while the car was in park. Its amazing what you can do with enough nitrous and slicks His biggest problem was these 3-5 min burn outs, if he would just warm the tires up he would have been ok.

Oh man, that's going to be an expensive fix.

I bet I just hope they learn that you can have to much traction.

Well, that's the ultimate "learn things the hard way" example for sure. I'd be livid if I got a crack in my windshield, much less if I blew out the rear end. With my finances, shoot, it'd be years before I got the thing fixed.

I understand...but hell it was still cool to see a V6 blow a rear end out

So why did you name your car Vanessa?

You know, it's a funny story...I first called her Selene until I changed it very recently b/c I got sick of people saying, "Dude, you have a Saleen?!" Honestly, the white GT I used to have I called Vanessa as well...just b/c I like the name, no particular reason. I believe every car should have a female name to it..otherwise it's a jinx. (I'm very superstitious...you can laugh, everyone does. ) Honestly I'm thinking of changing the name again b/c owning two cars with the same name could be a jinx, even if you don't own the other one anymore....maybe I should just call her Jinx...lol. As for seeing a V6 blow a rear end being cool, man, I agree with that...I wish my car had that problem... Actually, since it's 4 am and I'm sleep-deprived, if you have any name suggestions to throw at me, feel free. I can't think of a good name for her at the moment, so until I hear one I like, it's just gonna stay Vanessa....oh, and the name "Selene" came from the movie "Underworld"...the main character had that name...she played the role of a "death-dealer", and I thought "Hey, my car's black...death-dealer...black car...hmmm..." Thus was born...Selene.

As long as its not Christine I don't car I'm not sure on a car being called a girls name being good luck but I always refer to all my cars as being a girl Now I'm sure its better for each car you get to have its own name but thats me.

I can only pray that I that kind of power that if I don't watch my foot I'll be walking
