I just wish everyone would listen - this world would be a much better place if we treated others the way we would want to be treated.

Very well said and I couldn't agree with you more!

you wanna know why people make fun of the sixers and why the sixers get no respect? Here's why, no offense to anyone who wants to take my honesty as some sort of stupid personal attack:

Say you know nothing about mustangs, and all you know is that they are supposed to be fast. If you go looking for a "fast" car, and you see a mustang, and you drive the v6 one, you are usually left saying, "well that wasn't fast at all, in fact, it was slower than a 2001 v6 eclipse. How disappointing, there's no way can I compensate for my needle dick with this car, I need a v8." (those were my exact sentiments when I was shopping for my car). granted the s197 has a little more kick to it, but it's not like it's a world of difference.

Then you come on this website to learn about the GT you just bought and see that half the people in the sixer section can't get a fact straight, and you just can't help but lose respect. please don't make me find examples, I'm not here to judge, just figured you might want to know the point of view that a lot of people have. I know I'm not the only one who thinks that. if I didn't see threads saying "You might beat a new edge GT, but no way could you take a stock 5.0!" every other day, I would think differently.

oh, and v6's are the main vehicle of choice for all the 16-18 year olds who drive around like idiots and make the cops pull me over thinking I'm one of them, so that adds to it as well.

I apologize in advance for the honesty, I know someone is bound to get all pissy cause of it.
You don't want anyone to take your honesty as a stupid personal attack? Whatever man.. a personal attack is exactly what you said! It's like saying, "Oh, no offense, but you're an idiot."

You say half the sixer people here can't get a fact straight? Get real. Half? You're just another arrogant GT owner that acts like a playground bully that has to have the big bad V8 show the whole world that you're not a weenie. Sure, let the big engine define who you are.
Let me tell you who gives Mustang owners a bad name. It's the narrow minded, mullet-donning, GT V8-or-die crowd! You're the same mullet-headed backwoods hick that calls the Camaro owners rednecks. You guys are the ones spreading the hate to fellow Mustang enthusiasts, and any other car owner that didn't "reckon to buy a good ol' V8. "
You're the ones with the mental block thinking that you're the fastest cars out there when the GT's aren't always the fastest Mustangs! I have taken out 5.0's and S195's in my stock V6 s197!
What about the 4 cylinder turbo NEON that beats GT's? Or an EVO, or WRX? I've personally witnessed a turbo'd CIVIC run a 12.4 second quarter!! Your GT can't do that! Your arrogant GT attitude is why people dislike Mustang owners because you guys act like you're invincible and then come up with excuse after excuse when someone beats you in a race. Alot of GT guys refuse to believe that a smaller engine can actually make more power sometimes. Heck, check out the racing forum, when a GT posts that they lost to an srt-4, everybody responds by saying, 'well, at least we don't drive ugly Neons.. girls cars.. econoboxes" Rather than give praise, you guys just spread the hate. And the sixers are the immature ones? Right.

There's a green 98 GT driving around my city right now, with stick on "autozone" flames all over the door, a NOS sticker, and a grey aluminum, tall wing. He has a huge windshield banner that says "Powered By Ford". (gee thanks, I thought it must have a Porsche engine), and on the back window, it has a sticker that says "GIT-R-DONE". Now, tell me.. who is giving the Mustang a bad name?
you are such a defensive *****, no wonder you get no respect (I don't mean v6's, just you) amongst car people, you can't even see what someone has to say without feeling like I ****ed your little sister in the ***. notice how in my post, all I stated were facts, and your post responds with nothing but retarded generalizations. sorry, next time I'll make sure I know which car you like and I'll be amazed by the test drive instead of disappointed. maybe you should be mad at mitsubishi. I'm the real victim here, and mitsubishi is the evil entity. if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have been disappointed that a v6 stang didn't have more kick to it than a v6 eclipse.

and I'm completely nuts when I talk about the v6 tech sections on here not exactly being the cream of the crop, right? it's not my fault I see a higher percentage of uncorrected bad info in the v6 sections than all the other sections. I'm not the only one who notices that.

edit: lemme say I see a lot of weird crap in the 3.8 v6 section currently and not as much here recently, but this one used to be pretty bad at times.
Redass, I understood your original post clearly. Sure, you posted 1 fact about how an Eclipse impressed you more than a V6 Mustang. Good for you. I don't need an engine to define who I am. Then you followed with a bunch of your opinions. Just like my response: a bunch of MY opinions.

The main idea behind your thoughts is "GT's ARE THE REAL MUSTANGS" and it's the V6 crowd that tarnishes the Mustang name! So does that mean the Cobra owners should bash on you because your GTs make their Cobras look slow?
shoot, I'm wasting my time because I don't think you get it anyways..

If I want to see or listen to "teammates" argue and talk s%it, I'll watch T.O. in the next few months rip another franchise apart.
LOL we can only hope!! Boo Dallas, go Skins!



Seriously though, we all own Mustangs and that's all that really matters.

Agree. He ruined my Eagles last year. Oh well, now he's Dallas' problem. My brother-in-law is a big Redskins fan. NFC East is going to be wild this year.

Sorry to get off the subject. We need to unite all Mustang owners!

Hey everyone stay off REDASS, he is well slightly slow! He knows everything and um... well... he thinks he got those baboons as an option with the car. See he likes to troll around and look at ways to bash the V6'ers. IGNORE him. It will be worth it, I promise. He is just upset he drives an inferior car with overrated HP, what he really wanted was a Cobra but was to stupid to wait... then he could bash the drivers of the GT also, opening a new window of people to show his MOKEY power to.
Seriously just look he goes from forum looking to bash V6's.

It's all he wants to do!!!!

I love my V6 it is far fater than the other 2 V8 mustangs I've had, its safer to drive, gets loads better gas miliage and heck it looks good too. To all the hater out there so what. I got what I wanted and could afford at the time and seeing as no one helps me pay my car note they can go straight to H&ll.
As far as I concerned the only car owner w/room to talk is the GT owners and the GT owners with any class knows that V6 buyers are the reason the GT is affordable. Besides did I mention the look good too![sm=americanasmiley.gif]
Um as it looks reading the forum and seeing the posts since it started many have, It's idiots like REDAZZ that look for trouble and keep it going.

v8's are great engines, but they're not for all mustang owners.
+: power, sound, durability -: gas mileage, price

v6's are great engines, but they're not for all mustang owners.
+: gas mileage, price -:not as much power, durability

to each his own, and everyone needs to learn to respect other people's decisions/preferences. this debate is so pointless.

now let's stop this arguing and agree to disagree on which engine is better.

Crap, this thread is still alive. It's like the endless re-runs of springer on TV during the day. ROFL.


We all own mustangs, that is why we are here. You know, the only pony car to survive the decades!!! The only one you can buy today and the one that started it all.

Cheers!
