German cars are faster than American cars? When did that happen?

here are pics of the car. people can't seem to wait for a decent photo so i took these pics with my phone. here you go moderator, believe this. and i am not going to sit and explain why a german car is faster, it just is. the reason cars are built to go fast speeds over there is cause the recommended speed limit is 180k which is 108 mph. and for reinforcement i welded solid 1inch by 1 inch steel rails on the framerail.

okay, i can barely believe my eyes with those pictures, i was definitly considering the fact that you were a troll or something. now to give some real help check out this company called Smoothe Line. I read about them in some mustang mag, they make removable hard tops and are comming out with one for the 05/6/7 mustang "soon" (not sure when).

www.smoothline.com
1-877-368-4533 or

please explain, just some general stuff. have you ever raced a "regular" one? how about a "regular" gt? if you go to a track, do you have any time slips? have you ever got a dyno? do you know the weight of your car? this forums is to teach and be taught. i took the time to dig through a pile of magazines and look for that ad

I cant explain but here i used to have a 5 series bmw. I drove the exact same model when i was visiting germany and it did seem better.Smoother/Quicker response transmission and slightly better acceleration.The only thing i can come up with is Germans always have such precision when they build things. Thats why some products and even chrysler trys to push German engineered products.

i can believe that because i would bet that the car would be built (hardware and tune) to be used on their highways that have very high speed limits. however, when i see that there is no mustang on www.ford.de , I find it hard to believe that ford builds a "german" mustang. i personally think that it is nothing more than a tuned (as in computer tune) american mustang. i may be wrong, i dont know, just my feeling on the topic

Ok. So a pogue buys a Mustang in Germany (for cash) and first of all is convinced that there's a difference between his and every other Mustang sold on the planet becasue it's GERMAN. Then, he thinks it's too hard to get in or out of his car so he CUTS THE FREAKING ROOF OFF. Then he ships it back stateside, to the desert, and now seeks advice as to how best to keep dust of of the interior of a vehicle that no longer had a roof. And he never gave the fact that he'd need a roof at some point a second thought.

Did I miss something there?

Here's how to fix the dust problem, get rid of your car and stop trolling this forum. Then get a vasectomy because anyone this dumb shouldn't be adding to the gene pool.

Mods please delete this entire thread.
