I run 93 race everyday too... 13 mpg on premium. Burns a hole in my pocket but its a hell of a daily too.

It feels great to get compliments on your car! I used to get compliments even back when my car was so stock that the windows weren't even tinted. And that's with a V6 too. I'm sure you turn about 30 times more heads with that Roush!

I love it myself. Took the 97 to a mechanic on Friday in this tiny shop and when I came out 3 mechanics from the shop across the street were gawking at the car and the interior and told me how nice it was. That was awesome.

Then yesterday I had this guy in a BMW in traffic damn near wreck another car to pull up next to me, give me a thumbs up and yell "awesome car!" while in my '10.

The ones that make me feel the best are the little kids though while in the '10. I call the ones at the bus stop my fans. They see me coming and they are all gawking. On rare occasions, I goose the throttle and let it rip and a lot of them start jumping around hollerin' They LOVE the car

I had a girl lean out of the drive-thru window she was working at and shout "I love your car!" Maybe I'll get a free whopper out of it next time. So yes, it makes my day...even when I'm down on myself for having a "weaker" ('10 V6) Stang.

At least it looks good...

In 3 months of my Pony purchase I've had 15 stares, 6 double takes, 5 neighbours,
6 thumbs up, and 14 grins!

What the advantage over running the 93? Other than draining your pocket in gas money, can these cars not be run on 89 with a tune to suit?...if they have cams, exhaust, cai etc.

Living in Germany, Mustangs are extremely rare so I'm always getting a hard on ( figure of speech of course, lol) getting reactions. I also have a crowd of German kids at the bus stop that go Ape **** when I drive by (plus the fact I press the gas peddle hard when I get close). Thumbs up are regular. Love seeing people in there beemers, audis, benz rolling the windows down. Yesterday had this guy say in English with a very strong German accent say, "great ****in sound YEAH" (kind of sounded like Arnold Schwarzneger). Craziest thing in terms of Mustang situation, I was heading down to Munich 2 months ago. Driving pass some females in an Opel and the chick in the back seat flashed me her goodies!!!!

You can, but most of us have bama's 3 tunes and our 93 race tune is the most aggressive of the three. I have everything you listed and I usually run 87 or 89.

Haha, that's awesome. A mustang over there is about like a ferrari over here isn't it?
