85, i agree with ya. Sounds like someone wants to be a mod. huh?!? hehehe anyway, this should be locked, and unlike 85, i do not like stangs at all, so thats just one more reason for this to go in my eyes... but thats just me.

 

5.0's have always struck me as sort of small. Maybe it is just some sort of illusion.

The point, the 302 might be a good engine.

But a 305 in that size car would probably get the same number's the 302 gets.

Or vice versa if you were to put a 302 into a f-body *shrugs at thought*

I dunno.. what are the dimensions of a fox body and a thirdgen back to back?

 

I have to agree with 85IrocNOH on this one. I love the Mustang don't get me wrong. I have a buddy with like 7 fox bodies and they are awesome cars but this is a 3rd gen Camaro and Firebird site. It is specific to 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds. A Mustang just doesn't really belong here. I understand he is proud of his car and he should be but it would be more appropriate to post his pics on another site not dedicated to one type of cars. Stangholic, you have a nice car and I appreciate that you are owning an American muscle car instead of a wannabe racer Honda however let's keep the posts related to the boards

 

chevy should of kept the 302 and never let it go. I bet with the 302, TPI would of looked a whole lot different... probably more like a bigger LT1 then a TPI.

 

id like to handle, stop, be comfortable, look good and not flex apart.

 

are you sure about that cause i dont have a lot of money in mods into my 305 and im sure as hell a lot faster. anyone can throw together and engine, the people that will get the impressive times are the ones that match their parts and build it right.

 

the 302 engine is good for one thing, road racing. the fact that gm doesnt use it any more is for that reason, it was good for scca but a dog on the street until it got to its ungodly high power band. the reason the 5.0L mustangs have a power band thats street friendly is because of their cylinder heads, they are still soggy in the low end and dont make nearly as much torque as the tuned port injected 305s and 350s. the TPI is the exact opposite design of the 302. Low end and midrange power vs top end. wouldnt work out. even an LT1 intake wouldnt be sufficient to wind to 8500 rpms. 350s are the worlds most popular engines for a reason too. not flamin ya, just saw the opp. to let everyone in on that.

 

I got a Stang too (85 SVO) but I dont post about it here because this is a thirdgen only, tech only website. I understand you only want to post pics and talk about cars but the truth is, its a flame war waiting to happen. Some of the members on this site cant control themselves, but it has gotten alot better since the Mods started really enforcing the rules. Nice Stang!

The truth is, the reason it's a "flame war," is because other people can't read, listen to, and follow the rules. Don't blame their mistakes on the members of this board who follow instructions. I think it's funny that you're being sympothetic with this guy and then mention the Mods and enforcing rules.

 

Partially true atleast. I think that TPI was in part a mistake for GM. the 302 (ford) and the 305(chevy) were choices to comply with fuel and smog issues in the 80's. If given a offered a 302 instead of a 305 I woulda taken it. If TPI had been built with a little more runner (also shorter) to flow in trade for torque the 3rd gen would have gone down in history as not only one of the most beloved GM cars but also one of the most awsome...

 

You shouldn't be posting pictures of ur stang here. its not a thirdgen.

 

as for a lower optioned car running faster than the dual cat car, the dual cat car might not have been broken in as good as the lower option car, which will rob hp and make a motor sluggash.

as for imports, whats rong with them as long as they are rwd or awd, and dont have nos stickers all over them.

my 84 1/2 supra, it is a good car, but currantlly it has a spun rod bearing .

 

Exactly. Unless the post is thirdgen related, save the pics for stang boards. It looks to me that you are just trying to start trouble, posting pics of your ford on this site without any technical content at all, thirdgen related or not. Don't act all innocent, you knew what the response would be from the board.

 

What are you talking about? I'm not being 'sympothetic' with anyone, and I'm not blaming anything on anyone. I was telling him in a nice way this is a thirdgen only, tech only website, and he might get in trouble by posting stuff about Mustangs. Sheesh!!

 

put in appearance and detailing from street ricing? LOL

 

they moved it... why!!!! just frickin close it...

 

I have seen this one to many times. Every time I put my two cents in people get mad at me including 3rd gen members so I am going to keep my mouth shut. What the heck I will put my 2 cents in anyway! In my opinion I think he just wants to see everyone argue, he is turning 3rd gens against each other!!!!

 

Sam's right!! FIGHT THE STANG!!! Im posting a pic of my car so maybe this can be saved.... theres more pics in my sig if anyone wants to see them

ok, how about the sig this time

 

If your posting pics of your car I will post pics of other members cars including mine!

 

If anyone wants me to post more pics of my car let me know!

 

 

Always like this one!

 

Here is another one! I love the scenery on this one!

 

OK

 

 

you need to find some real hookers to lay on your ride

 

it'd be too explicit to post up.

 

My friend has a show mustang he wants me to shoot both our cars with some strippers we know at a granite rock quarry next to the natural springs pond.

 

All of your cars are very nice looking

I am not trying to play innocent man, I never tried to argue with any of you about anything nor am I trying to "make the 3rd genners fight." Thats rediculous, I will take my pics off and maybe you guys can stop getting so pissed off.

I posted my pics because I like my car and over on corral.net people that have or even used to have mustangs will post pics of their new cars(whatever they may be) and people don't start to whine about it. I'm sorry all of you got in such an uproar about it. The pics are off.

 

I guess those girls are good looking.

But I am only 5'7'' and 8 foot girls really turn me off.
