i had an accident....
yeah well heres the skimmy...i bought my car like a week ago (give or take a day or two) and i have already managed to get in a wreck. my brother got some new internals installed on his MR2 turbo and we decided to go out and test them. soi smoked him off theline and for the next 1/4 mile or so (we race for a mile) andwere going and going ang goingtill about 3/4 mileand then all i see is a slur of red paint go whizzin past me, so i dropped 2 gears (i was in 5th cuz i knew i had him), and stomp on the gas more, and when i did that i chirped the tires HARD and i lost control and went about 80mph off road, sideways, and nail a light pole trying to bring it back onto the road. i hit that at about 55-60mph and nearly bent the car in half. so it basically sux to be me. so now im back to driving my supra around town and killin on gas. that thing (city) gets less than 8 cuz of all the horses. damn japanese people and their turbos. the mustang is pretty much toast, but i can collect insurance and either get a new one, or invest the money and get a car where i would be tempted to race in. so i bid thee farewell and goodluck to all. who knows, u mite c me back in here with my new stang. only time will tell

RE: i had an accident....
You gotta problem dude. If you are really into mustangs, you will live the life of a performance junkie. I was lucky and my parents taught me at a young age to race responible. My stang very often gets trown down upon.. (Convertable) They just dont know... The first day I got it, I got in a race. Ricer even got 1 sec. head start. Had his *** by second gear. Only 85. If anybody races, and had their butts kicked, it is a addiction to keep raceing, If you are a true racer. I.E. get some junked mustang, and put your 5.0 in it and ride. And if You are good, any horses you think you can make with power adders (turbos and such) will pale in comparison when you can roll out and win a race only on motor... That is true racing...

was that red slur another car? if so, you are a dumbazz. you wanna race go to a track, don't put other people at risk.
as far as the supra's gas mileage, it's not tuned right if you get 8 city. you should get atleast 20 if you have a boost controller and an aftermarket ecu that is properly tuned.
