Default What's Everyones Hurry??

So, please don't all take this the wrong way, but, why are the majority of posts here about "how can I go faster?" Personally, I prefer to "cruise" in my 05 redfire, like back in the 70's when cruising was in. On the highway, I find it very relaxing to drive non-chalantly in the middle lane, and watch bozos in the cookie cutter cars zip past me. I find it amuzing seeing them stare at my beauty as they go by me! Of course, every onece in a while, I love to blow off from the redlight too!
Mustangs rule!

I know what ya mean. Just tonight my husband and I were coming back from dinner when this guy in an '88 Mustang GT kept taunting me. He would speed up and slow down while staring at me! I just kept cruising along minding my own business. I looked over to my husband and said, "What, can't he see this is a V6?"
When I purchased this car I was not out for a race. I've been there and done that with my old Mustang GT.
I just want to be able to enjoy driving without having to bepulled into a race every time some young punk gets the nerve to edge me on.

I agree. I like cruising in the 6. Not intersted in trying to show off and get a ticket. Very comfortable to drive and of course when I need the power it's there. Now when I get in the Mach it's a whole different story. I get possesed!!

1988 Ford Mustang GT 0-60=6.4 1/4 mile=15.0 (MT Jan '88)

2005 Ford Mustang V-6 0-60=6.9 1/4 mile=15.3 (C&D Feb '05)


would have been close...

I don't know if you were cruising the same 1970's as I was. But as I remember it, there were more people saying "How fast can I go" than there is now. Those were the days!

Just because a person wants to build the car to go faster doesn't mean he/she is going to be doing it all the time.Sometimes while cruzin all nice and cool like something goes by that just needs to be addressed, know what I mean?
