Well I think I have finally found a Mustang I want. Justin knows more about it than I do but its a 1995 GT, burgandy with a 306 very excited. Can't wait to see it Sunday. I will take pics and post to see what everyone thinks. But I do have a question. I know how to drive a stick but Im not great at it yet. Justin said the clutch is really stiff b/c its an aftermarket racing clutch. Should I better my self in justin's car(which I have already driven and the clutch isn't all that stiff) or should i do it on the new car? Also are racing clutch's easier to burn up than stock? Sorry if any of this sounds like I am a complete idiot but Im learning yall. Thanks

Going from ANY other car in my life to my Mach was a challenge for me because the clutch was soooo stiff...and it is stock. I have to literally STAND on the clutch to push it in. Everyone tells me I am going to have a huge left calf if I keep driving it!

You get used to it real fast. It didn't take me long. But now when I drive anything else, I slam the clutch to the floor not realizing what I'm doimg!

It will be ok. You cant get used to it if you dont try and drive it. Take it out on someback roads until you get good at it. I say the hardest part will be first to second.

I still had my RX-7 for a couple months after I got my stang. The clutch in it was very light to start with, and I could hardly drive it after driving my stang because I couldn't even feel the pedal! Even with going from that car to my stang, I was used to the clutch in a week or less.

SeventyMach1(my fiance) I really want this car but now I am having to think about new house.... nice stang.......really hard to choose between.... I think justin has created a monster, i love stangs now and I want one so bad I can't stand it. As far as learning to drive this thing I will just have to get out on an open road and drive. My thing though is other cars. I know that sounds stupid but apparently I am the only good driver in NC because everyone else drives like an idiot(this causes me to have road rage). I just found out more on the car. It is a Rio Red hard top. My aunt told me it was burgandy but she's stupid. It has 300 miles on the engine and lots of goodies. I will take pics sunday and post them for yall.

Yeah, he has all the paperwork. It's her uncle's car. It has 300 miles on the engine, but like 200K on the car. But that was from constantly taking trips back & forth from NC to OH. I'm trying to find a way to get this new house & the car, lol. Anyone want to buy .... umm .... a Ranger? If so ...... PM me for specs.
