lol here we go. BTW, the car idles fine after a new IAC valve. you wouldnt know much about having problems though b/c ur still slow.

Yes thats my myspace, i dont like to hide behind my computer. You like looking at my pictures?

I dont usually come off as a dick on here, but I really cant stand people that whine about their cars like you b/c its "slow" because of decisions you made. Man up, and try sticking with something for once. My car use to run 16.8's with a massive hesitation problem. Fixed that then went 14.4s bone stock, then sprayed it into the 12's on a stock motor/built rear/tko600, and now well see what I can do this year.

It's like when you take a shot of tequila. If you stop at 1 of course the chick will still look ugly. You keep'em coming. Spend as much money as you can even if it means blowing your paycheck until she's a hot piece of a$$. Might take a long time, but it'll happen. Btw mine sometimes won't even start, has mismatched rattle canned black & grey body parts, stripped interior, exhaust leaks, faded yellow lenses, and peeling paint. But I still sport that mofo, poppin my collar and sport'n my Stunna Shades.

I dont care how fast your car is, I respect project cars. The faster cars around here are usually multi colored lol.

Your still young .. see if you feel the same way about your car when your older, you will follow the lead of most people on this site and sell the car and buy something newer that is more realistic. Your car might seem fast now but really your not even pushing 300rwhp your still running 19lb injectors! Spinning your tires like in your video will get old anyone can do that with 200+hp and gears and soon your car will seem slow and then sooner then later your gonna need a new paint job.. you will get sick of the interior and eventually your gonna want a new car.

Going to be honest I dont like the newer cars maybe its just me I work in a tire center where drive different cars new to old and idk I just dont like the new cars. My friend just got a 06 GT went all out with the leather seats and well i find my cloth seats to feel more comforable then his. Besides when I get older I dont want a newer car i want a older mustang from around 69-73 or a torino from 70-71

Injectors make more power? Omg no way!! IM PUTTING IN SOME 88LB's!!!

Realistic for a daily driver? No its not, but I drive it every day with no problems. I have a daily driver if I ever get tired of driving the stang to work. And I can see youve never really had anything with some real power or drag radials for that matter lol. Yes they spin, the the next time you launch it they hook like nobodys business.

And who said Im only doing 300rwhp?

Honestly, sell the damn thing. Make yourself happy with whatever you want. Looking at what you have invested ($), it should be a fairly quick car. Obviously I havn't had the chance to see how well your combo comes out, but remember that there are high 10 sec cars running on stock bottom ends (longevity, obviously the issue). Main point: if you havnt reached your goals, you can either quit and sell it or keep trying. Just dont whine about it.

Stock gears really kill a car, even with h/c/i (unless you have a turbo lol). I think if he put some 4.10s in it, he would go ape ****.

I think your right, but some folks just dont listen. Hell, you can get 4.10's on ebay (on the high side) for 180.00. Used even cheaper. oh well

Yup, one shop quoted me for 700-900$ just in labor and extra parts not including the gears, then another mustang specific shop did it for $390 including the gears. (mustang magic) Ending up just getting the whole rear done.

How about a new approach, instead of a new car.

For instance, you have a smart girl, with a pretty face, nice butt, but a flat chest. Don't dump her for the bar hoe with a big rack, get her implants.
