I vote we somehow ban almostki from all domestic threads....
i said i didnt believe it because of the experience i had, flame if you want, i don't care. it felt UNSAFE.
i know i rely on facts but what makes you think the mustangs could all of sudden turn around and be a safe car after many years of being unsafe? sounds fishy to me.
fox bodys are ok ive been driving my dads cobra for awhile and its pretty fucking fast. There good for driving in str8 lines but i h8 h8 h8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the turning radius and the fact that it used to fish tail before y dad did a roush suspension upgrade
Originally posted by JoeyP This is the only thing that I will disagree with. The SBC has the largest aftermarket of any V8. But Mustangs have the best aftermarket of any car.
I knew that. Which is why, the Key word i used was "modern". The Fuel Injected 5.0 would be a bit more modern and current. Ford used them last in 1995 in the mustangs and 2001 in the explorer.

Originally posted by almostki yeah, they are dangerous. they are light and have a V8, that's not a good combination. i don't believe the crash ratings on the new mustang because i have ridden in a 2002 GT and that thing feels like if i even get hit by a shopping cart it's going to fall apart, that is my opinion though.
Any car is capable of being dangerous in the hands of a bad driver. Even your porsche. Testosterone + performance car can always lead to dangerous behavior and risk taking. They are cheap, fairly quick, plentiful, and usually find there way into the hands of young inexperienced drivers. It's more the drivers fault then the cars fault. Again, nothing short of luck is going to save someone going triple digits.
They've got actual government testing to back it up. And you'd be surprised at how heavy mustangs can get. They aren't exactly featherweights. The new v6's are around 3100lbs, new Gt's around 3250lbs, new Mach 1's around 3400, and the new Cobra hover around 3600lbs. They've got some weight to them.

im not sure who posted this it might have been you.
thats why i wont even ride in one now.
If that was as serious as that site made it out to be, it'd have been out and done with long time ago. Ford still wouldn't be selling close to 200,000 mustangs a year. The reported cases are less then a dozen. Wow, i wonder how many other cars have caught some sort of fire during a high speed rear collision? That pales in comparision to the tens of thousands of mustang that have seen accidents. Just to give you a hint, mustangs are ranked #1 or #2 in accident cases. The fire cases are less then 1/10th or even 1/100th of 1%. The chances of it catching fire is equal to that of any other car or next to none.
Quote: "An evolution of the "SN95" introduced in 1993, the 2002 Mustang coupe passed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests with a top five-star rating for front driver and passenger safety, and three stars in side front and side rear collisions. The 2002 Mustang convertible was also tested, earning a two-star in side front and three-star in side rear impacts."
it seemed to have passed government testing *shrug*
BON is pretty much regarded as a tabloid on the mustang/camaro forums i've went to.
Yeah, they're cheap. Not everybody has the $$$ to throw around.
And he's one of these people because to talk the way he is, you'd think he'd at least have a $100,000 car in his garage that's paid for (and not financed). A Porche 944 is about a $2000-3000 car and if someone pays more for one, they're an idiot. They're not known for reliability and spare parts are a nightmare. And you get a whopping 150hp on a heavyass car that does 0-60 in about 9-10 seconds.
