well we bought it like it was, the only thing i have put on it is a chrome locking gas cap, cas i dont want kids at my school messing with my gas tank.

 

I know, I'm really into cars and so is my dad.Hes been drag racing and working on them all his life aside from his job,he has a 69' ss camaro with a GM 502 crate motor, a 69' dodge superbee with a 440(used to have a sixpac setup, but took off because it runs better with just a 4 barrel) , and a 66" mustang with a 302.So his love of cars is another reason i have what i have

 

Are you trying to say your parents gave you a $26,000+ car because you're "poor"? I'm sorry but I call an apple an apple. And saying you pay for your own mods is like saying you pay for the gas. It's a drop in the bucket compared to the big picture. But hey you're young, immature, and I don't expect you to understand. Which is probably why us "old folks" entertain you by replying to this thread.

BTW enjoy the car and I hope you're serious about driving responsibly because you're the one who will foot the bill if something bad happens, and all the money from mom/dad, etc. can't replace a life lost from some stupid street race.

PS I hope you drive better than you maneuver message boards...ie spelling, double posting the same topic..etc

 

I did

 

No, I Dont Think You Get What I'm Saying, BTW, before you go off the wall about me being immature and stupid, and saying that I street race and use the car inappropriately, yOU HAVE NO RIGHT to say such things when you dont even know me. BTW, i havent even had the car over 75 mph so, dont start stuff if you dont know about it.

 

Why not? i drive the mustang just like i drive any other car, caustious and responsible. Like i said before, not every 16 year old gets a new mustang gt... i treat this thing better then i treat myself...... I drive slow and careful, i park away from everyone else. Being 16 is a big factor to how you'll drive, because most of my friends drive like idiots but i do not.

Theres a time and place for everything, the street not being one of them. Sure i do some things like those burnouts you guys have seen and a couple of those fly bys but those were on secluded roads that i know very well, actually theyre closed off roads.... well with the exception of the burnout in the neighborhood, but whatever.

I pay for my gas, mods and TIRES. I work two jobs, i work all the time. I did not pay for my mustang though, i bought myself a 1991 Nissan 240sx as a second car which I am currently making into a project beging funded BY MYSELF.... So at the age of 16 i have 2 cars, but i damn well treat these cars with the upmost respect, i treat my Mustang like a Ferrari and my 240 like a Porsche. Honestly, to be handed a 300hp car at a young age does sound stupid especially when you have no prior driving experience(me) but i think if you fear the car like i did you won't do stupid stuff, now i respect it and drive like grandma. never did i once come close to crashing or I myself put myself in that situation.

When it comes down to it, its all about the drivers level of respect and INTELLIGENCE/common sense. Yeah also, I didnt beg for this car my dad just noted my work and decided to treat me to something nice and not have to go through the hassle of me buying my first car.

 

SMILEY TIME!

Ok I don't want to start anything again because I have been through all of this before, BUT I have to disagree with you there. Just because a teen has a powerfull car does not mean he will use the power he has on tap anytime he wants to and any place he feels the need to. Most teens, YES, they will screw up their cars and race and endanger others, but there are the rare few that don't. I do however agree with not knowing one's limitations and a cars limitations, because that only comes with experience. Sure we might get in a few fender bender's but that is part of the learning experience and that is almost always going to happen. I'm not at all saying that we won't go fast(because I would just be lying), but I would never go really fast unless I was out in the desert or I was in a place where I could not harm anyone but myself.

I gave my GT away because I knew how much power it had and because I have so much respect for it, I didn't want to take any chances with it. Anyways I hope you enjoy your GT and just remember to respect the heritage of the Mustang and to respect yourself and others who drive around you.

 

BTW, you said"26,000$+ car"You are also wrong there, we got it a Chrysler dealership(the only ford there)used for 5 grand less than "26,000$+"

 

B.S.? I dont think so, because i havent had it but for about 2 months now and have yet to drive it on the interstate,So that, my friend, is a true fact.
