The car is (or was suppose to be) an eye catcher that just so happened to have the HP to back up the looks.
LMAO....i hope your not talking about how Ford designed it. Yes they had the looks but certainly did not have the horsepower to back it up lol. damn stock NPI 225hp

Just dont do anything STUPID.

If you have to ask what would be considered STUPID then you probably shouldnt be driving fast anyways.....

Yes Sir, Ford def. dropped the ball from 99-04. Car has the looks of a Lion but has the roar of a kitten.

Change your oil, wear your seat belt, and take it easy on her until the time is right..like when some puss in a fart-canned 4 banger trys to take you down, or at the track. No need to go out and get yourself hurt or hurt your car. It's not worth it.Definetly have funwith it and enjoy what you have, but be mature about it. To answer your question, yea, driving it hard is rougher on it than driving normal. You'd be shocked how much pressure is on your engine and drivetrain when you're pushing it past 5k rpms and banging thru those gears. That's why old ladies have cars that last 40 years and Mustangs get wrapped around trees or blown up. Our Mustangs are not "extra" strong to handle abuse. They are just as breakable as any other car. Screw the car man, don't driveit hard all the time for your own safety and others. As soon as you think you know your car, it'll show you whose boss. Sorry for the lecture man.
