Until the next shiny one shows up, right? And then you'll realize there was never anything wrong with your gorgeous fox.
Until the next shiny one shows up, right? And then you'll realize there was never anything wrong with your gorgeous fox.No offense to anyone, but one day i'm just going with this.
As touched upon in another post on here, I think the electronic cars will die a quick death when you can no longer buy the parts you need to keep them running.... Just a guess.... Like when Iran inherited the F15s ( or were they F14 Tomcats?) and he couldn't get parts to keep them flying.....
Should we touch upon Electric vehicles???? My guess is they will be BIG BUSINESS for the people who scrap them.... After the battery packs go kaput there will be MILLIONS of them being scrapped and soon the government will CHARGE you a scrap fee of thousands to do it..... Just my guess.... Property tax and the Death tax, they get you coming and going.......

You want a driver for sure... you've already done most of your project but you'll never be done with it. At least with a driver you can scratch the itch while working on the project at your own pace.Not getting rid of the fox. Ever.
But I do what another Mustang. Question is….which one and would it be a project or a new driver
Where dem Camry's at......Yeah market will cool off once enough of these people buy these mustangs then get slapped by a v6 camry on the highway easy.

Totally agree! I was sitting at a light this morning, and up pulls some Audi turbo something. Light turns green and he leaves like a bat out of hell. I couldn’t care less. Probably put that guy in my 5 speed manual, and he couldn’t make it move! LolThese numbers are being driven by nostalgia and speculation. The people buying these aren't drag racing or street racing anybody, especially not a Camry driver.

That's exactly how I ended up with my 2014 GT as my daily... but when the kids got too big that had to stop.That’s where I find myself going. I enjoy wrenching on the fox. While I say I’m done, I have visions of an IRS and t-56 swap. I enjoy the project more than the end result.
But I want a stock driver car that needs nothing and is turn key reliable. Go sign up for a few laps around a track, and then no prob dropping the kids off at school and sitting 2 hours in traffic with.
shame on you. That poor kid prolly needed therapy after that.Our foxes dont rule the street like they did years ago, but they sure aren't slow either. On paper, yes heads up were donezo against a lot of wants out there today. But we have to remember our foxes are light and there's two ways to be fast. Add power or lose weight.
I was just talking with my son about this the other night. His friend at school has an 07 GT who thinks he can smoke me. The 07 GT is 300hp 300tq. My 87 is 225hp 300tq. The 07 is 400lbs heavier than my 87 GT convertible, which is significant. It may not matter because my racing days are mostly done, but it's a factor nonetheless.
The other thing is most kids today have no clue how to race period, other than mash the skinny pedal on green.
We have a one two lane road near a hospital that eventually goes to one lane (each way) and idioits always try to go in the left lane, race and cut in front of the folks in the right which Ps me off.
One night i had the stang out and some young punk lined up next to me in the left lane in some turbo SUV. Not sure what it was but he kept inching forward on red so I knew what the deal was and I wasn't going to have any of it.
I watched the traffic light like John Force watching the Christmas tree at Maple grove (lol yes I've raced there). Light goes green and I hit it. Wound out 1st and 2nd hard. Five liters of fury pulled strong and in the upper RPM range made the sweetest music no other engine or radio could ever duplicate. I look back and I've got at least 5 cars easy on that thing no joke. He had nothing for the old fox, he never knew what hit him.
Yes she's no race car, but certainly not slow either. That night, that kid learned what an old 5.0 fox body stang could do (and an old man who knows how to race) I had a smile on my face and felt like I was 23 again and back at the grove.....hahaha.
Good stuff Gents. I sure do love my foxbody. Now just as much as I did in my teens when these cars were new.
Have a great Saturday.
