Idiot in a Mustang

[surfkansas88]

The other night I was commijng home from a friends house with thewindows down. I stopped at a light underneath an over pass and this moron in a 96 or 97 mustang Gt pulls up next to me. Keep in mind I have a 96 blazer 4x4! Not exactly the raciest looking thing on the road, especially on the Toyo A/Ts I have on it now. This Guy asks me if I want to race. I asked him how desperate for a race he was picking fight s with v6 4x4s. We exchanged some choice words and then the light turned green. I just took of like normal, but he hammered the thing, roasting the back tires, then he missed the shift between 1st and second, and killed the car, right as a cop rolled up behind him and turned the lights on. I think this goes to show that the drivers of Fords are not only a bad judge of automotive quality, but idiots as well.

Amen to that!

you are right, but it is my observation that Mustang drivers in general are easier to get to do stupid stuff like that.

See its morons like those that F...k everything up for us car enthusiasts. Because of idiots like those, you cant drive a Stang, Camaro, or any sporty performance vehicle without having every cop around watching you like a hawk.

So very true.

Thats why you take a shitty car and put nice stuf on the inside.

You can polish a turd all day, and at the end of it all, you'll just have a shiny turd.

OOOOO... Shiny :eek:

[Rinkrat456]

I'd drive any shiny turd that runs 11's in the 1/4 mile.

Hahahahaha

[xtravisx]

i had a simular incident. I had a bad ass zo6 wanted to run at a light the other day. My radar detector was going off like crazy. But, i didnt see the cop. Well starts ripping gears and what do you know. Theres the cop. He got him too. I would have loved to see a z06 hurt me though. You would think all that money for the bad ass car. why not not get the fuzz buster?

[nolongergreen]

That guy was right, I got a turd and put and continue to put good stuff inside it. The wole reason i love this truck is because its a sleeper. (It just has close to 400hp even before the nos)

[oldsrocket455]

YES!!!! i love it!!! on stock rims AND tires!!!!

[daryl]

Thats a nice s10 man :).

[bigomondis104]

id have to agree with the, i guess ill call it, the "turd logic". it doesnt matter to me how the car looks on the outside, if all panels are still on im good, its how the thing runs. im a go before show guy.

Why choose between show and go when you can have both?
Congrats on the swap, I am sure you are having a lot of fun with that truck. Been there done that...lol.
By the way, describe your engine, tranny, setup. we would like to know more about it.

I am worried about the little E fan that you have to cool that truck. It is my experience that those skinny aftermarket Efans have a very hard time properly cooling a V8 (and many V6's).

If you run into cooling problems ditch the aftermarket Efans and go with a LS1 dual fan setup before going crazy and getting all sort of big radiators and stuff. that will be enough to cool the beast IF it fits in there.

I bet if you figured it out to the percentage of mustangs and fbody's with these stupid people, you'd find out they are about the same ratio....you guys forget, there are easily twice the number of mustangs on the road as fbody's. I have seen a huge number of idiots on both sides, oh I know someone with a low 10second shiny turd....from the outside it is an all black(including wheels) 88 mazda rx7 complete with oxidation and dents....but when you pop the hood there is a built LS1 waiting for you with a 200hp shot of nitrous..... :confused:

I am sure that a Nitrous , built LS1 on a RX7 would be FAST, but I have seen soooo many FAST RX7's and rotarys that I do not see why they would do such a swap.

X3!

I guess I'm not thhe only one on this board thats drivin a "SHINNY TURD!"

[Injected]

Hmmmm. Regarding the guys who say that they would drive anything that would do 11 sec., I bet that a turbo Honda would change their mind, as I've see several 11 second CRXs, but know the disdain that people who claim "it's all about going fast" have for anything with an H badge on the hood. That doesn't make any sense if you throw in exceptions that have nothing to do with the goal such as the type of car, number of cylinders, drive-type, etc.

I bet most people who are reading this (yes, that means you) would say "it's quality, not quantity," but there's a funny connection that people have regarding these two attributes. There are entire economic theories based on just such arguments, but all are futile. The fact of the matter is that the consumer should want the greatest return for their dollar (more on this 'should' in a minute). That means they should want the greatest quality and quantity. The actual relationship between price and quality is application and price trade-off. Let's say I'm in the market for a car.

The traditional way to look at it would be to say that I am looking at one car, say one for $20,000 and one for $40,000. Let's say that both are able to suit my needs and we are throwing out the limitation of disposable income (one of the reasons the traditional way doesn't work). That means that if I find enough of an increase in the quantity (read: better) of quality (read: attributes) to justify the price, then the increased price is justified. If not, then I, trying to get the most for what I want and being a reasonable consumer, will choose the $20,000 car. Simple, but incorrect (though the outcome seems sensible).

Throw back the fact that we all have a disposable income to work with and need to meet the needs within this limitation. That means that price is fixed. This makes sense, since most of us go into the car market looking at cars that fit our "budget". If I could buy either two cars for $20,000 each, or one "nicer" one for $40,000 then I am faced with a serious dilemma, which can only be solved by looking into the application, which is the reason I am in the market. If I'm buying myself a car and I'm single with no need for a second car, then I get the $40,000 car. If I'm married, I get the two $20,000 cars and my needs are met. This theory generates a three dimensional correlation between Price, Quantity, and a real world variable, since the two by themselves can't really depict anything "real". That real world application would have to be something like "need" or "satiability coefficient and would be different for each consumer. If you wanted to know the market's satiability coefficient, then you would need the average of all of the consumers in the market that fit into the market share you are seeking.

The truth is that almost all of us must deal with a real world price cap and the market's idea of what is an acceptable trade off also varies from consumer to consumer as represented by the satiability coefficient. But, the quantity of quality is what we are all seeking. It's really how much stock you put into the quantity of the quality (attributes such as HP, MPG, looks, etc.) that you feel is important.

Okay, that brings me to the point; we should all demand the highest amount of everything, regardless. Why trade the quality of one quantity at all? Meaning that we should not consider the amount of speed we have connected to the amount of 'coolness factor' our vehicle has. You should demand both at all times, and then when faced with a decision, you will choose which is more important, but you should never say that you no longer demand the other.

That's enough before 9AM.

He was tired of fixing the rotary ever 3rd day of the week i suppose. IDK, he just did it to be different at the time, now there seems to be many more of them...lol

some people buy cars because they are the biggest bang for the buck and go from point a to b

some people buy cars because they are a brand they support and won't buy outside of that.... especially if they get a discount from said manufacturer.

some people buy on reputation regardless of facts

some people buy just for color looks or something else.

some people buy for gas mileage alone.

i wouldn't drive a honda if it was an 8 second car in the quarter, i wouldn't drive a toyota or a datsun/nissan if it was the only car left on the planet.

mitsubishi built the zero....
volkswagen.... Hitler

everybody has there reasons.

[Mirage]

I have to give my $.02 here, since I used to own a Cobra. I believe it matters on how young, stupid and/or immature someone is who's behind the wheel of any car, it doesn't matter what car someone's driving. :mad:

[bonecrushins10]

whoa from tha dub im loveing it , an yes i think younger people in general get a even a car with a fast name like a mustang v6 or camaro there gonna take pride in tha name an just be idoits ,


thats why 3 gen camaro's are built like a tin can , gonna act stupid an get hurt might as well get killed , but they only came out with 240 hp i think it is for tha tpi 350 , :D so no matter how fast it is if its got tha name they pretty much got tha urge ,


even tho i never see many corvette's acting tha fool only on tha highway :frustrate

im from topeka bud , good 2 hear from somebody in tha middle of tha map ,

now these guys will know what goes down here in stupid kansas

[bonecrushins10]

you guys wanna see a real sleeper if you didnt see tha decals on this you would prolly think its a pos

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoID=1074407794&n=2

hope you have a myspace , anyway thats from a local speed shop here ,


who has ever hurd of a dodge omni

[Danny_SS]

That is by no means a sleeper. It is sooooo obvious that the car is a trailer queen drag car. I bet it can run a sick 1/4 mile though.

[bonecrushins10]

no iv seen it up close an personal turbo kinda sounds like a exhuast problem if you didnt know any better but tha decals give it away an if i threw some rust an missing hubs cabs you would know ,
