I am going to have to side with beemrmem3 here. He is simply defending himself against ricers that think they can run a 13.7 in their ITR with a "muffer". Some of you are blind. Truthfully there is only a few ways to match the speed/dollar that domestics offer.

1. Nitrous- My weapon of choice. 500 for 75 additional horses.

2. Motor swaps- Get an old Civic hatch with a blown motor for 2 grand and drop a H22A in it for 4 grand. Mid 13's or possible high 12's with slicks.

3. Insane weight reduction. Free!

If your arguement is hp/liter, then get over it. Who cares who has the most hp/liter if you still lose.

However I would simply never chose a Mustang over my Lude. It can't touch it in the ways that I care about. It looks better, cheaper to insure, gets better gas mileage, picks up more ladies, handles better, and can hold its own in a straight line with most domestics. Of course I spent 25 on the car and about 7 on mods. I could have bought a new GT for 23 and have it in the 11's by now. To each his own. Don't flame beemrmem3 for stating the truth and defending himself.

That is my .02 cents. Flame on.
