too many stangs

I went to visit a friend and decided to cruise town since it was friday night. So i go down the strip and get to the end and turn around in a parking lot, well in this parking lot there are like 15 mustangs and they are really bad. So when i go by them i get on it a little bit and go out to the main road to back down the strip and i get behind a mustang a rev it up and i guess all these guys saw that and didnt like it becuase when i went down the strip they were coming up on me and revving there cars up and then another one would come up and do it, they would take turns coming up on me and showing off then slow down and another one would. Then you know what happend, a red light and im beside one of them he had a blower sticking out of the hood and he looked over at me and smiled i didnt relly get on it becuase he would murder me and he didnt race either, i guess he knew what he had a didnt feel the need to prove it. So this 02 cobra comes flying up and get beside me at the next light and he revs it up and takes offf at the light, i wasnt ready and when he took off i nailed it but he was already about 4 cars ahead and i took it easy to the next light and he revved it up so i bounced mine off 5500 about 4 times and you didnt here a peep out of his car after that and i took off like a bat out of hell and i made him look bad. So to top it off i look behind me and another mustang is coming up doing every bit of 70 in this 35 zone to get me because i just smoked this cobra but i cop got behind him and turned his light on so i got out of dodge before i got it to since i was in the lead. But this was like out of the movies, theres my 86 iroc smoking like 20 stangs not to say some of them couldnt have smoked me but none of them did, that was the most fun i have had for a long time and i couldnt sleep because that is the first time i have raced my car since the motor was put in and it didnt disapoint. The funny thing is there wasnt a camaro in the whole town it was me against mustangs. But i hate this being such a long post but i had to get all the stuff explained and none of this is BS its all facts.

Yeah the mustangs surprised me. I rev it up for one of them and then all i can see in my mirror are stangs. And i know they had this thing planned out because they would hang back and take turns at me. The cobra i beat wasnt slow at all his back end started too walk out a little at the first stop light, and i didnt see his back end at the second one. But i know their pretty quick. I was just hoping there was another camaro in the town to back me up. But i represented for the third gens, and they underestamated the thirdgen.

Ummm I guess Im the only one who is going to say this story sounds extremely dumb. Poorly written, poorly described, there is no 02 Cobra, punctuation and spelling are your friends...

Either way, you drove through a reved at them, I can tell you when Im standing with 20 other Mustangs and an Fbody comes in and revs, after the jokes and laughter stop, you better believe he has set the challenge out there!

I can also tell you this much, Im not sure on the Mustangs near you, but if that happened near me, youd be done in for! Just last night we had a small get together, which consisted of:

-02 GT (catback)
-94 GT (exhaust, gears, bolt ons)
-03 Cobra (480 rwhp)
-02 GT (520 rwhp)
-9? S351 (1 of 2 made in his color combo, and 575 rwhp)

Now this was just a little get together in 25 degree weather, when its nice out, there are more and faster cars out there!

All I can say is if you rev to a group of Mustangs trying to show off, expect them to come after you, and if they are anything like the guys I hang out with, expect most of them, to pull up next to you, and make you look BAD!

Usually around here, we just sick my boy's Probe on them when they do that. If they can't beat that, which 9 times out of 10 they can't, there's no need for any of the rest of us to even waste our gas.

well exuse my typing but im not on here to show off my execptional typing ability, im on here to tell you that i bunch of punks in stangs messed with me and i smoked half of them. Its funny how they were flying up on me just for me to leave rubber on their windshield. And it was funny driving home thinking of the cops writing them out tickets for being losers, while i drive home happy. And no im not to well researched on the mustang because i personally hate them, there ranked right next to ***** in my book. This site dosent have spellcheck, so you can go ahead and point out what i mispelled.
BTW why are you on a camaro site if you are a mustang guy?

First off your grammar is so bad you didnt get a point across that you beat more than one. You mention ONE car that put 4 cars on you, and another where you "smoked" him, yet that race surprisingly didnt have any more details other than that and the fact you raced a car (02 Cobra) that doesnt exhist in the US!

Second off its not just spell check, its grammar check, punctuation check, and babbling moron check you would need to create a sentance even remotely close to being comprehended! The sad thing is, I dont even care that you raced Mustangs, this is more or less about the lack of GOOD details, and the fact you just cant create a group of words that comes out right...

Also hate them all youd like, I dont want everyone to like Mustangs, makes it more fun for me that there are people that dislike them. Without different kinds of people with different tastes the world would be boring! Group our cars with ricers, thats cool by me, I let track times and mods speak for just how well these cars can perform. You can hate a car for its looks, but the performance ability of them isnt an opinion, its a fact!

Also Id like to point out this isnt a Camaro site, it's a site dedicated to thirdgen Fbodys, which includes Firebirds also. And if you break it down, thirdgen means the third generation of a particular model, and guess what, my car is the third generation (well actually all 5 we own) of the Mustang model. Does that mean there is a chance I could be on here because of that (hahah funny when you break it down)? I was originally on here to help my cousin, then I stayed, changed names 3 times (have maybe 4000 posts) and have made numerous friends (online and in person) on here! The fact I am here is to learn, share info about Mustangs that UNeducated thirdgen owners like you wouldnt know and to have a good time. Dont like what I post, that sucks, but I can be brutally honest about what you posted, it is a public forum, and when I actually comprehended what you typed, there were some flaws!

In the end, what I say doesnt matter to you, you hate my car, you dont need to show off your spelling and grammar, and you dont even have to read a single word I say here. I just like to voice my opinion about things I see, hear and read, and this happened to be one I could contribute to, being a Mustang owner on a thirdgen Fbody site!

Ill continue to hang out with my Mustang friends, watch the thirdgen owners lay rubber on my windsheild, and hope I dont get tickets for going after them the next time Im out cruising around! Wouldnt want to be considered a loser to someone who might have a hard time spelling it!

I thought my point got acrossed pretty good. I raced a 99-04 mustang cobra and beat it. And i know alot of mustang drivers, have my whole life. I never called you a loser, i called the guys a raced losers. When you race somebody and dont win you are a loser, right? Or are we all winners here I never intended on getting into an argument with somebody i dont know over the internet, but i also didnt think somebody would dwell on how well my literature ability is. It is funny that the only guys talking trash are mustang guys, but then again you drive a mustang. When you talk bad about me, expect me to talk back, or type. I really had a good time racing these guys, you would have looked good in my mirror as well. And i dont see any horses or blue ovals on this site.

Im sure I would look good in your mirror (attesting to the good looks of our cars, heheh) and dont get to cocky about that, you dont have many track times listed from your car yet. So until that time assume you would walk away from me, but thats all you can do to compare!

Im glad you dont care about your typing, just makes you look uneducated, thats all!

Oh well you told me you beat half the cars there yet only raced two, in the end its all good, just dont expect everyone all the time to agree and pat you on the back, if that was how it went, the internet would be a boring place!

thats cool, and no i havent been to the track yet. But plan on going soon as they open back up. And i think next friday im gonna go back to the parking lot and talk to those guys, because were all car guys and we should get along. They were probably having as much fun racing me as i were them. And as hard as it is for me to say they are running v8's and not little 4 banger pieces of shat. Even though i hate mustangs, i dont hate the people who drive them.They just got steered the wrong direction sometime down the lineLOL.

I am a die-hard Camaro lover, but I don't have a problem with Mustangs. The later ('87-93?) foxbody Mustangs (the later style nose) were good looking cars, specifically the GTs, and obviously the 5.0 performed pretty well. I've seen some 4th gen GTs that looked pretty cool too, and some of those later Cobras are darn nice cars. Even though I hate Ford, I still respect most Mustangs. But why drive a Mustang when you can drive a Camaro?

One day my Camaro will be fast, but for now I'll stay away from those 302's because my LO3 can't compete.

DANG! 25thmustang

You get real personal when it comes to gammer!
Or are you just mad that he beat a couple of stangs

I admit after the 3rd sentance my eyes were getting crossed and after the fourth time I read it I pretty much got what he was saying. I believe he did run across some stocker mustangs and got the best of a couple of them.

Just remember Blkmaroman when you post something proof read it first before you post it. It just makes the story more interesting when a little time is put into the gammer.

I also got my eye on some mustang clubs that I'm going after when I finish upgrading my car. When I spank those guys I will be sure to post it with 25thmustang's name in the title just to make sure he doesn't miss it! But if I get my a$$ kicked I swear he will NEVA EVA hear about it! LOL!

Hey guys! I got a question for you who do you think will win in a race between Blkmaroman and 25thmustang? Do you think Blkmaroman car is able to run high 12's like 25th's car?

25th runs mid 12's. Very impressive with his list of parts. (Mostly stock components)
I think people who HATE on other brands are silly. Rivalry is good, but you gotta respect a fast car. Even if it's from a brand you don't like....I don't like Subaru wrx's. But I respect the fact they are fast in the big picture, and especially fast for a 4cyl!
I have a camaro, and a mustang, both third generations. I perfer the looks of my camaro more, but the stang is just plain faster. Stock for stock. And modded for modded. It takes more $ to get the camaro to the mustang's level. That's why I chose to mod the GT. With this 100 dry shot and e7te cylinder heads I'm shooting for low 11's.

i respect a mustang for its speed very much. That is why i was so happy to beat the cobra, becuase i knew a cobra was quick. I dont know what year it was but it was a 99-04 body style. What kind of quarter mile time do they get. And this was not a stock cobra, at least looks wise and sound wise, and if he does that he is more than likely going to put something into the motor, but who knows. And in the 80's it was close between the mustang and camaro, but as soon as the 4th gen hit the mustang didnt have a chance.

There is a huge difference between the '03 and '04 cobra's compaired to all other years. Chances are you beat a GT with cobra badging or you beat a poorly driven '99 or '01 cobra.

I don't think he beat an 03 or 04 Cobra. Those things ran in the 12's stock with 390 hp.

25th runs mid 12's

25th runs mid 12's on slicks but street tires he runs high 12's and I think Blkmaroman setup might have a good chance at beating him.



I just think it makes you look like a punk when you ride by a group of cars and rev/act like an idiot.

So what would you do if you want to race a group of mustangs? Get out your car walk up to them and say, Pardon me! I would like to engage in combat dear sir. My car against yours to see who's the better racer. I'd much rather sit in my car rev it one time and see who takes the bait.

He beat two of them that doesn't make him a punk nor a idiot.
If he had a v6 and did that yes that would make him a idiot.

25thMustang, dude...your the man. I'm with him. As much as I dislike numerous cars at times, I would own them all if I could and a Mustang would be one of them. A 1992 GT to be exact. But at any rate, this other tool head who seems to think he's invincible OBVIOUSLY hasn't come up against real muscle on the street. I'm not saying I'm the fastest out there but wow, I hang with TONS of guys that have "r!cers" and mustangs that are Twin Turbo'd and supercharged to the point of them being almost illegal for street use. It's all about how you build your ride up that gets you respect and acknowledgement from other car addicts who drive camaro's or firebirds or hondas or fords...yes everyone is entitled to liking a certain car, but when it's all about making horsepower and flying down a track, we're all in the same boat. And that's what modding and building race cars is all about...

Ill gladly be compared with a heads/cam/intake 355, whether I win or lose! But the funny thing is, next summer look for some 12.3-12.4s on slicks and 12.7-12.8s on radials with the planned mods (suspension, gears, and a slight bit more power) and actually might be in one of the Mustang mags if the shootout happens in the spring time! Also a lot of the times you will see the car its rolling around on ET Streets, which it has been in the 12.6s on (on a warmer day than it went 12.50s on slicks), so more or less during the nice part of summer its on the street how it is on the track!

As far as beating Mustangs, if he did the same thing with a group of imports, Id react the same way. It was just the fact he went in, disrupted their hangout, and then after they came out after him, he was calling them losers, and claiming to have beaten over half of them, and was also glad they got pulled over, when he was just as guilty! Combine that with the fact we did have to read it a few times to understand it, and I felt I should post my opinion! Thats all nothing more nothing less!

Also he could have taken a 99 or 01 Mustangs, put a bad driver in one and they are 14 second cars, but if its modded, figure the car is maybe 13s (with said driver). Add a good driver and the right bolt ons and its a whole other story!

Mustangs are great, proven performers on the street. Thats why i wanted to race one. And why do you build a motor? To have fun with it, and i did. I went by some stangs and had fun, they were probably looking for some action too. I never said my car was invincible, and i dont think it is anything even close to that. I said that the mustang with the blower would blow me away, im sorry if that gives you the impression im invincible.
Just for the facts
I AM NOT QUESTIONING THE MUSTANGS PERFORMANCE AND/OR THE DRIVERS MECHANICAL KNOWLEGE. I simply strongly dislike the mustangs looks, and the fact that there is a blue oval on it.

You would have to define fast before we can answer that! But the answer is they can be!

lol.. '02 Cobra..

This thread is retarded. Who cares if he hates a certain type of car, it's all the funnier when one comes and owns him.

Personally I like Foxes, but if I bought one I'd have to rip that mini-motor out of there for a big 351 Just so happens there's one sitting in the back of my shop......

Or I could just swap an LT1/LS1 in it!

I know a guy that has a Chevy powered foxbody, I don't remember what engine was in it but I think it was either a 350 or 383. VERY fast car. He also has an S10 with a 350 and a Vega wagon with a 454

I wouldnt put a GM in a Ford or visa versa merely because it isnt cost effective (for the most part) and any Ford or GM engine can be made to do whatever you want! Ruins the car for me, but to each his own!

I saw a video of a fox that pulled a huge wheelie, and you could see a big bowtie underneath it attached to the oilpan. He was running a 383 IIRC.
