I usually don't get stared at,but the car does all the time.I get asked "what kind of car is that?" every once in a while ('88 Thunderbird Sport).I tell them it's a Mustang with a body kit.It's a nice looking car.

people look at my car all the time too. probably because it's loud and really shiny black...pretty much gorgeous . there's not a lot of fox's in my town either, so that probably helps some.

Every time I go through a drive through at least one employee comes up to the window and asks me what it has under the hood. I don't mode cause it's better than the looks I got in my old Honda.

I usally get a thumbs up or two when cruising around, and every once in a while the stink-eye from some tree hugger in a Prius or Insight

I actually haven't noticed a single negetive look in the car.

I have however had a lot of thumbs up, requests for revs, asking to buy the car etc... My car isn't so much loud at idle, but through the RPMs it gets pretty loud and raspy and I think that gets peoples attention.

Well then, you can stare back at the Prius owner when their throttle sticks and they run into the back of a pickup truck driven by a fella named "Jim-Bo".

Yeah I get plenty of stares. I think a lot of people, when they think mustang, they don't think 79-93, they think 64-69, and 95-2010. So it surprises them that there are boxy little mustangs out there. I had one guy come up to me and ask me if my '91 GT was a NEW MACH 1 ... ????

+1 and yes from other people as well. While most of the US was snowing yesterday we had a gorgeous day and I drove my car for two hours. Got stopped by a driving instructor at my local track that sold his Mercialago for his 2008 or 2009 AMG "black Series" car. Never seen one before, probably because there are only 300 in existence but man that car was teh sex. Quite a compliment even he noticed the fox and the squeaking belt

You need to fix that belt. Getting tired of you complaining about it! Send it to me and I'll send you a new belt
