I thought that would get your attention!

I have seen lots of arguments over whose is better, stronger faster, etc. Here is why mine is the best and I hope you all can say the same about yours!

Mine is faster! ----nope , stock car could be roasted and toasted by most of you
Mine is better looking! ---- nope , just opinions, but I like the oldest ones better and bought the 05 because it resembled them. Also like the Mystichromes and a lot of the sn95's
Mine handles better ---- nope, not a chance with the mods and the cobras.

I have the title and keyes ----- most definitely, This creates the ear to ear grin, I love driving this car.

P.S. anyone who is disappointed that their cars don't meet the criteria to be number one can sign the title and ship that with the keys to me.

I hope you all enjoy your cars no matter what year make or model as much as I am enjoying mine.

Well put, I just hope mine comes in before winter, because here in canada as of nov 1st usually or sometimes earlier, its gotta be parked because of the salt. I would like to get at least a couple of weeks in to enjoy it. it would be a piss off if i have to bring it to my garage with a flat bed truck and sit in it for 5 months.
take care.

And even then, only if you allow "better" to be defined objectively. I long ago concluded that "better" only has meaning in my own mind. I may value horsepower over looks, or cornering over horsepower, or price over anything else. My "better" is some combination of attributes that is definitely going to be different than someone else's. So as long as you are honest about what you want, and what you value (and hopefully that does not include what other people think about you) ... then you will always get the best car.

(... which better be a Mustang! )

Yes. Well said. I love my little Stang, but, then again, I wouldn't shy away from an 05 Carrera GT being dropped in my garage. I do not try to put down or negate the fact that someone else may have it though. So, I have to absolutley agree with ya. Can someone give me one of these in Red for the garage?

No, No, No! You have to use reverse psychology here. Say to yourself “my car really does suck”, that way no matter what bad comments you hear or if you lose a race, its no big deal. It’s all about feeling better and being happy!

Not to make this a "what car would you get if..."

thread, but it's kinda going that way.

For me, it's be a Noble M12.



Noble Cars UK uses a 3.0-liter 352 hp version for the Noble M12 GTO-3R in the UK. This is the same Ford Duratec aluminum block V6 engine currently used in the Mazda 6, Lincoln LS, Jaguar X-Type and Ford Escape with the addition of twin turbo induction and slight engine mods. With this drivetrain the Noble GTO-3R is capable of going 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds, 0-100mph in 8.8 seconds, a quarter mile in 11.9 seconds, and has a lateral grip of 1.156g with street tires.

It may not be better than my wife's 1.8T bug or Jenns 05 Mustang according to them of course, but to me it would be one hell of a sunday driver. I'd get to the store in 3.7 seconds.

I have to live in the real world though, so it's an 06 Mustang for me... and it will also be "better than yours".
