I'm so naughty
Out on my bicycle again today (dropped 25# since I have been exercising). I pedal through the local Frod dealer's lot to find a Mustang car show going on. There is some oldfart extreme potbellied dude there with a blue supercharged Roush Stang. He actually has a pair of those chrome "nekked lady" outline stick-ons applied to the rear facia of his Mustang. 
What a tool!
Nice cars but I just gotta go home and get the Vette and kinda "rev" on them a bit as I cruise their show. While pedaling back home I encounter a 60s GTO vert at a stop light. I tell him about the show and he agrees to cruise through there too and show off some of the General's handiwork.
Now I kinda like sublety rather that out-and-out showing off. So I cruise through the lot with the top down in first gear and rev just a smidgen. The exhaust on this LT4 is stock and only hints at its possibilities with the slightly lumpy idle.
When I pull out I only rev to about 3 grand until smoothly shifting up through the first 3 gears. I think everyone there got the message.
Here's some pics that compare just how nice the low slung C4 body compares to the bulky Mustang.
Here is an underhood pic of a new supercharged Roush coupe that stickers for $49,999. I'd rather have a C6.

Yeah, the C4 roof line is just slightly higher than the truck on the old mustang. I noticed that the other day when one of those roush stangs pulled up next to me and I was looking up at him like he was in a truck.
Sounds like you had some fun. Way to show off!

The stangs look nice... until you get another car next to them, and then they look like some kinda oversized coupe version of the Crown Vic.

The Roush boys think they are the top dogs now. The car is nice, I like them and they sound really cool... Nothing special, but cool. I grew up with a 66 mustang so I show respect to the new style. BUT! Any stang after 93' is garbage and I enjoy schooling the High School kids who drive them and think their $80 Flow Master mufflers give them 100+ hp.
