I did look up the meaning of your username, and it's not a *****, or particularly funny, at least not to me. I've always been much more interested in female anatomy, but I admit, I don't know any of the latin terms for them, either. Hey, don't knock the Mustang. I had an '01 Cobra, and it was a great car, until I drove a Corvette. I put Magnaflow catbacks on it, and though it wasn't loud enough to suit me, the exhaust note was pure music; yeah, better than my 'Vette. I was at the point of considering a blower, because it's not easy (or cheap) getting decent power out of the quad cam 4.6. You won't find the same problem on the simple old pushrod Chevy small block.

They just re-posted the ad. I'm going tomorrow morning and I'll give you guys an update tomorrow on whether or not I'm going to get it, drive it back home, or am gonna pass.

And zeevette, quit being a negative nancy i didn't make this my username to please the masses its just a random name i picked lol :P. And yeah I'll be negative about mustangs because like you said, it was cool until you got a corvette aka a decent car lol. If it wasn't made of plastic on the inside and I didn't see 500 mustang every day I would've possibly kept it :P I'm really surprised there are people on a chevy forum defending mustangs lol. On my old mustang forum there was constant chevy bashing...but hey, the mustang crowd tends to be a bit less mature

That is true about seeing Mustangs everywhere. And it's hard to tell the difference between a V6 stripper, and a SVT Cobra, at least at a glance. BTW, lots of guys here are former and even present Mustang owners.

I guess I could see them being good sleepers if you're into street racing and crap otherwise meh, I've had my fun with one and I'm done. I'm sure they are, I'm not saying all mustangs are garbage, just most the new 5.0's are pretty sweet... and i used to dream about owning a terminator.
