As a teenager, I had a ‘67 GTA fastback with a 390/C6. That car taught me a lot. The rear end would never whip around but it could drift like a mofo. Punch it in any gear at nearly any speed and it would light’em up.
I was running the legendary stock Pirelli p-zeroes. I may have encountered a little bit of gravel slightly wide of the normal lane, too. The downshift and acceleration were very abrupt.
Figures. Those tires were terrible.
Yep. I switched to 275/35 DWS06's on new rims. Much, much better. I also installed a STH ultimate street kit on the car. Night and day better handling.
I have nothing but reverence for my car. It may or may not kill me. I may or may not kill myself behind the wheel, but it is saving my sole one drive at a time. I have no doubt that there was Devine intervention in creating the GT350.
The base wheels and tires and the MT82 leave a lot to be desired, and performance enthusiasts find the suspension lacking, but the 5.0 is great. So are the Michelin PS4S tires and Brembos brakes Ford put on the PP1 cars. I've never had problems with my 10r80 or had electrical issues. People spend money on mods like exhaust and cosmetic items because there's so much available for the platform and they find it enjoyable to customize to their liking.
Because we can
That's 465HP, 3800lb+ and RWD for you....the best part is plenty of great condition recycled parts from snap outs into road side guards, poles, signs, trees, buildings and other cars leaving most of the car intact but written off.
Right now I'm a bit regretting sinking money into mine and purchasing a 25 GT Prem for my wife. I should've got two early 90s Fox Body coupes and put rebuilt or a crate of sorts engine in them. People think S550/650 are ugly. Fox Body's definitely don't win a beauty contest. I could've made them Highway Patrol style. Those cars are more solid in many ways. It's nice to have a small car with lower. But these new cars have too much power the way they're set up. I do like my 22 and wife's 25. I've seen too many terrible stories here.
Then why not order a Shelby GT350? They put better parts on them than most of us do. I'm not crazy about Shelby's.Because we can
Mustang. Mustang. Mustang. Found On Road Dead. From what I read here I'm contemplating getting rid of mine. They're all junk. And most of their owners are like hate filled Rednecks. They hate everything, even Mustangs that aren't like there's. Pure negative energy.
I feel bad for so callously calling them ugly. The truth is if I saw it in person I would 100% think your wife's sweet new car was badass.
Because a lot of us prefer to make our cars our own. Nothing wrong with a Shelby American car and they do some cool stuff, but part of the Mustang culture is doing a bunch of mods to make the car a reflection of your personality. Some prefer to keep their cars stock and that’s fine too, all part of the fun of these cars. Everyone does something a little different
