I dont understand how come when i talk with people around town everyone thinks mustangs are slow?? And there cars are way faster. (passats, jettas, camaros, firebirds RICERS ect..) U actually have to woop there A$$ before they even get an itch, and then all the Axcusis come pouring out. I just dont get how they get a bad wrap!! people are such morons

LOL Most of the people where I live think that only fat, redneck, toothless people drive Mustangs. I have a lot of canyons where I live, (Canyon Country, CA), I get people behind me all of the time in there Honda Civic HBs, or Integras, and 240sxs riding my a$$ thinking the are road course kings, but nothing is better when I grab second and watch them get smaller adn smaller in my rearview. I even had one guy ask me if I was spraying cause I pulled away so fast.... People think that an intake and muffler makes them a true racer, living thier lives a quater mile at a time or some crap like that LOL

To be fair, stock Mustangs ARE kinda slow...but certainly not when compared to the riced out imports out there.

ya compared to new cars like even the new hond accord (v6) thats pushen 240hp i think but 0-60 is a little slower then the 5oh. but its not that ists just commen everyday drivers like i said camaro RICERS passats. The stock stang can kill those. i did it plenty of times (friends thought there cars where the sh**) i just dont know where they get get off thinking this.

Eh, mustangs ARE pretty much the slowest domestic sports cars in recent production. LS1 cars are faster than even the 06 GT's,GTO's eat them up, EVO 9's kill them, STI's are a STRONG match, the new Challenger will own them, the Charger RT is a bit slower, but the SRT8 takes them out, the GT500 shelby is slower than a base C6, the S2000 will pull a 99-04 from a roll, stock for stock, the 350Z is beating 05's from a roll (barely) in some cases, all in all the only things that a mustang is faster than are 4,000# 4-door chargers and stuff like the Saturn Ion Redline and the 05 GT's beat the SRT4's, the rest of the stuff that is out there that is slower isnt even sports car related hardly (Passats, etc.) . Hell, GM's Trainblazer SS is in the same league as a stock 05-07 GT. I hate to rain on the parade but mustangs are not popular for being fast or handling well, they are popular for being EASILY AND CHEAPLY MODIFIED TO ACHIEVE BETTER/GOOD PERFORMANCE! End of story.
