Best value for straight line speed. Don't you dare turn though! Just kidding I can appreciate any work done to a car because it's a statement of yourself. I drive a 2000 Focus Hatchback and a lot of people look at me and ask why I fixed it up. My car is me and everyone that sees my car knows it's mine.

:clap: Tech-I like your car. I think you should be proud of the car and what it says about you. For one thing-you are one of the few American's who choose to drive a manual car. :thumbsup: You obviously have spent a lot of time keeping it groomed-the light blue on the seat looks great.

How you can change gear with the right hand amazes me!! :crying:

Just a short story-when I was a young fellow-we got a story of an American travelling in South Africa with his wife. He was injured in the outbacks and bled to death because his wife could not drive a Land Rover-Manual gearbox back to civilization.

Cheers :P

I'm likin' the 5.0...it's always been the 1st car I'd buy if I won the lottery :haha: just so I could burn off the rear tires and not have to worry about how much it's costing me. :rolleyes:

Is the red interior stock? I don't know if I've ever seen that on a Mustang.

Tech,

..... (I don't actually know what to say, as I am not a techie person... just someone who thinks he likes to try as much D-I-Ys as possible)... In reality, everything is maintained as 'standard-setting' as possible. :haha:

To add to it, Mustangs are not available in my country. But a very inexperienced person like me, might say, i think it looks like the old Honda Civic... Erg. Don't blast me for getting it wrong. :)

And the seats & interior = they match = parts of engine. Thee hee... That sure looks cool.

love the Notchback there tech...good but you should be punished for that spoiler I know we've all had issues with the notches having a sorta plain trunk but that doesnt justify that spoiler. go to your room and think about what you've done!
lol

If I had my way It would have been gone along time ago.I hate it as well.I haven't had the extra cash to buy a new trunk lid.The spoiler was installed before I bought it.It will be gone when its time to repaint.
