Ask him if he realizes that his car isn't that fast?Or if he realizes that the Mustang wouldn't be around today if Ford only offered a V8 Mustang...I bet that if you do full bolt-ons with the 5 spd and were to race him you could take him.

I bet so. He got one because they were the hot thing, I got one because I got a passion for them. They are the best looking cars around I think and they still are pretty quick. Im going to eat imports with it.

Do it.

Are you really from Boring, Oregon? Or is that just a little joke... Because that would be awesome to say that you are from Boring, Oregon.[8D]

Im really from boring or, and it is as boring as it sounds its farm land you have to have 5 acres per house. but its really only 15 from Portland and 5 mins from Gresham if youve heard of them. I was thinking about getting the side scoops and window scoops although ive only seen the vent ones, I really want the actual scoops not the vents but I cant find a place that sells them or at least the ones that tape on instead of screw in. I really dont want to screw something in to the body of my car. only 6 hours until i get it im so excited!

how bad is a turbo on gas i Know it runs off exhaust or would a supercharger be better although i know some of them run off a belt? one other thing I was considering were adding stripes and/or repainting the car. I like red but I like silver to and I would really like a paint job like the one on Gone in 60 seconds (the remake with Nicholas Cage) but since im not rich I was thinking of either just putting white stripes an instant classic or what my brother suggested Flat black stripes since I got torch red. Any thoughts?

I would go with the black stripes to offset the red. The white stripes look good but I am more of a black and red person.

I do know where Portland and Gresham are. At least you don't live far away from a bigger town/city. I can totally relate to living in a small community. My dad is a big land nut. We own about 200 acres. I think it is a requirement to own land to be in our family though. Both of my uncles own more than 600 acres and my Grandparents own about 600 acres. It is fun to take the Four-wheelers or the truck back into the woods though. lol

I dont think I want a black car, although it looks great you tend to notice all the screw ups with black. but maybe I will go with the black stripes. Well we own only 5 acres but moving from one to five was a big difference a lot more privacy and we have a forest behind us to play paintball or ride motorcycles which is always fun. I wish I could have a 100 acres some where out of the city so i could go shooting in my back yard.
