It is definitely fun to see other stangs on the road and to have that mutual respect.

Problem is I doubt I will get 10K out of the rear tires...LOL
Mine will rot before they wear out

One of my good friends recently replaced his turbo'd 2007 GT with a brand new 2010 GT500... it's a very impressive car. It's not quite as fast as mine is right now, but once he does some minor upgrades it's going to smoke my car. It's also WAY more refined on the inside with all the 2010 updates... it feels like a luxury car!

BTW, I always give the nod to fellow Mustang drivers, especially if they are modded. Except for one punk driving around my area in an orange/black Foose Mustang. Everytime he sees me he just tries and tries to race and acts like a fool. One day, when the conditions are right, I'm gonna show him what a blown GT can do. :-)

I drive like a granny in my lil sixxer, I used to have a 03 standard and would haul *** everywhere, then one night, between stops we got a light bit of rain. I was reving the engine showing off for some girls in a Escalade. I sent the mustang sides up against a curb and flipped it into a 6 foot ditch, BTW came out without a scratch, passenger had a slight burn from the seat belt. So I take it easy in cars now, as for driving fast, I like to fly by gt500's on my r1 on one wheel .

That's a nice bike - my buddy just sold his R1 for a Harley... I think he's nuts since we're young and you may as well enjoy the rocket while you can and then get the Harley when you're older but meh...


@whitegt500 that would be super scary! Could thing you got some forewarning on that!
