Stupid Mustang Owner
This is a funny story. I'm in line at local hardware store and this guy in front of me (in mid 40's) starts telling the cashier he has to see if the stuff he is buying will fit into his mustang.
So me (subscriber of MM&FF & and daily browser at these boards also planning to buy an 06 Stang GT) says oh you have a mustang what ya got?
He says and 98 (I think) and an 05 GT. Oooh! A 05 GT I look out and see a dark green late 90's model stang v6. He says that the 05 at home and it was a special edition that only 3000 were made.
I was like oh yeh what makes it a special Ed. And he says it has a 351 big block in it from the factory.
I almost fell over and died. I knew right then that this guy didn’t have a 05 .
Well I played along and asked them oh ya a 351 big block. hummm Ford must be going back in tech like dodge brought back the hemi. He was like yeh and I asked him why didn’t I here about it.
He stated that only previous mustang owners were advertised for this special ed.
Oh then he proceeded to tell me that all 06's is going to have a Shelby body style and the new cobras are going to have a Porsche V8 and that the current V6 have 240 bhp. He also stated that his late 90's stang had 240 bhp too.
Looked and sounded stock to me.

I dont have a clue why this guy/stranger would lie to me about this. Can anyone tell me why. BTW I might be a newb around here but I'm a 33yr old mech engineer. I work with gas & steam turbines and play with engines.
I've mostly rebuilt V6's and one chevy 305 but i'm looking forward to building some real HP on my mustang when I get it.
