Just a thought but it you like the mustang better you can mod it to make it as fast as you want. But I like the way you made your dicision, took all the thinking right out of it[]

Since this thread is useless, I will hijack:

Mr. Rogers...that vid in your sig is interesting. I'm pretty sure that guy is having MAJOR traction issues, as it takes him all of 5 seconds, and maybe some change to get to 60mph (watch the timer for the video). I've done faster 0-60 sprints than that. However, it goes from 60-100 in the same time or less. You should do the same video in your car, but make the lower speeds a little more impressive

that seems like kind of an immature way to decide on a car.
That was the deciding factor for me and I haven't regretted my purchase decision one bit.

Yeah he did have traction issues. We all dowith these goodyear runcraps. They fail the Abraham Licoln penny test when they are brand new. But recording myself doing it would be intresting...

I voted for the GT because I don't like following the crowd.[8D]The real poll should have been how much would the SS win by,5,10,or 15 car lengths.

Maybe he wants to start with the faster car and is not pre-disposed towards one make or brand. I know I bought my SS because, at the time it was the fastest car I could afford (03 Cobras were still a couple years away). If the 01 GT was faster or as easy to make fast I would have bought one, but it did'nt work out that way.

If everyonehad a buyers mentalitylike you and bases their decisionon performance and nothing else when deciding on a pony car it would have been the Mustang that was missing for the last five years. There is more than acceleration that goes into a good car. IMOacceleration isimportant so I would say Ellis Juan!!!!!![sm=happybounce.gif]
