how you know you drive a mustang

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Honestly my goal with mods is and has always been to beat a base model Vette in the quarter mile. I'm not sure why i set my sights so high, but i just have this picture in my head of a guy spending 50k on a Vette in his midlife crisis only to get blown away by my humble little beater. I think i'm pretty much there but i'd get raped on the highway.

I won't consider my car "done" until I can walk a base model vette. Ultimately, I'd like it to keep pace with a Z06 (up until about 150, haha). I don't know if its underdog mentality, or just that I believe you should build speed and not buy it, but those have been my goals since I bought the car at 17.

There's a fairly long tunnel getting on the freeway by my house. It's the long way home, but when in the stang...

Oh yeah. I love a good tunnel. Especially when I had the Flowmasters.

14) You turn your music down and roll down your window to hear another Mustang's exhaust.

This one is still my favorite. I could be in the middle of a conversation with someone but the second I hear a Mustang with exhaust coming down the road that person gets tuned out immediately (usually my wife). A young guy in my neighborhood recently got a 99+ GT. I'm not sure of all his mods but it definitley has chambered mufflers and an x-pipe. That thing sounds sweet. I put my TV on mute whenever I hear him coming. lol

I bought my '90 back in '94 and at that time it was the LT1 I had in my sights. It didn't take much to get past a stock (LT1), especially since most in my area were automatics. Fast forward to '98 when the LS1 Fbod started making waves. I remember the first time I saw the 1/4 numbers in a mag. All I needed to see was that 106 mph trap speed, which is hardly the best they can do, and I knew it was on. "Uh-oh. Times for heads."

I never worried about the Vettes because I pretty much never came across them. When I do they are hardly interested in racing. That's still a good goal to have though. If you can beat a Vette then obviously you're going to have the Fbod covered.

Youre not far from me and I can tell you that I have raped me many a vette, highway and 1/4..

Dont fear the 55 YO Caucasian man, whoop him!

#98) You can't take your car to the drive-thru anymore because no one can hear your order over your exhaust

Haha, Yeah for me my goal was never to really beat an LS1. All it was, was to have a super fun streetable Mustang with a Kenny Bell under the hood. Mission Accomplished

 

[tannerc91gt]

What's a Kenny bell?

 

[anthony hill]

Thats gettin printed and hung on my wall!!! Awesome man!!!

#99. You never use the radio because the exhaust note is your soundtrack

 

[1987LXragtop]

#100 you dont call them cragers because you know they are called Bullits
#101 You think you can drive like Steve McQueen in Bullit.

 

[1987LXragtop]

#102 They are called 10 holes not phone dials and you correct everyone.

 

[foxmustangman]

I've never heard them called phone dial before

 

[beyondspexj]

great list!

 

[1987LXragtop]

I've never heard them called phone dial before

I have and saw someone on CL selling them that way too.

Had another one I thought of last night but cant remember now.

 

[NIKwoaC]

I've always called them phone dials AND 10 holes. I guess I never had a problem calling it either way.

 

[1987LXragtop]

Oh remembered the one I thought of...

When you type SVO into Ebay you expect to see mustang stuff not Biodiesel stuff
