RE: My Opinion - Why Mustangs are the PREY!
Good write up. When I got this car I wanted to race my old mustang [2000 GT] to see where I stood. Well, to this day I have never raced my old mustang, but I sitll find mustangs to race. I've always liked mustangs and always will. When this car is ready to be garaged [4 years or so and then kept in good shape] I'll probably buy another one, slap on a turbo, and have fun.
*Something interesting though, was reading an article the other day and according to the laws of this government 75% of a car/its parts must come from America/built in america to be an "american car"...the current mustang sits at 69% if I recall correctly. [8D]

People race newer mustangs because the 95-97 were slower than molasses on a cold day, and they arn't expecting much.
Get a few lightly modded civics to beat a few automatic 96 GTs with terrible drivers and you get a rep...

Mustangs are however the benchmark for performance. When you hear most people compare speed and power more likely than not you hear them make some comparison to a mustang, except for the supercar exotics that are built for one thing. Thats why I believe that so many people try to race mustangs, while the don't run the streets they are a decent performer that can be used as a yard stick for basic performance.

Not to mention my wife said at this point in our lives, a 2 door just won't work. Don't worry though, when the kids are a bit older, I'll have one sitting in my garage. I just wonder what they'll look like by then!

RE: My Opinion - Why Mustangs are the PREY!
Indeed, awesome rightup.
I remember when I had my first car, a 99 plymouth neon, and wasn't into cars at ALL....
I wouldn't even recognize a trans am, and could only tell a camaro by looking at the back of it, but same with the mustang.
When I would see a camaro, I would like "hey look, a camaro." But when I saw the mustang "holy ****! a mustang!"
IDK why, but its just the way things were. Not to mention, Mustangs are my dads fav car, he had probably 7 or 8 of them throughout his life, so that probably counted for something too.
