im just curious, why do so many people buy a v6 mustang, then put on dual flowmasters, CAI's, etc... why dont u just guy a 4.6 and smoke the bolt on 3.8?? i dont get it.

 

v8's cost more to buy, insure, and fill with gas, yet they still want a fast car.

 

 

its all my mommy would let me buy and wat i could afford

 

hmmmmmmmm i suppose that makes sense, but i went from a 4cyl jeep to a 5.0 mustang.. insurance stayed the same, actually saved a bit of gas..

 

parents and insurance companies dont like kids in V8's, simple as that. parents think you're gonna kill yourself in it, insurance companies think you're a high risk, so even if your parents dont mind, its gonna cost a lot.

 

kids in fast V-8 cars ARE a high risk and the insurance companies have all the statistics to prove it also. I'm still amazed why a parent would buy their first time driver a V-8 Stang or Camaro or other high performance car for their first car, but I see lots of them parked at the local high school everytime I drive by there. I think they should not let first time drivers have a V-8 powered car period until they've had their license for at least 1 year and no traffic tickets or accidents on their record. Way too many young kids just learning to drive are getting killed out on the roads nowadays and parents need to be more responsible about what they let their youngins drive.

 

it wasnt even a year until i got my 5.0... im only 17 now lol, i drove my mothers sunfire for about 4 months, then i bought a jeep for 4 months, now i drive my mustang.. well..my father and i have been rebuilding it for the last 2 years it just finished this summer. i dont think im a high risk... i race a bit but i see people older than me driving way worse..

 

well that jeep isn't the most safest car as is about seen as the same risk

 

insurance also accounts on the car. if its a worthless POS or a popular car it will be low. but if its an expensive or rare car it'll be high. also gender and age are another biggy.
