You're right. My bad.
I mis-interpretted 'our' car and skipped ahead. Who can argue with a 10 second car in is sig?
I still love my slow *** performance machine on higher altitude 2 lane mountain twisties.

Apparently he did and you didn't, which was nothing more than a self glorification post. The guy just wanted everyone to know he can drive on a straight line otherwise he would have bragged about his ability to use the turn signal as well.
As for the idiot reference, you hang around with wannabe impersonators wearing turtlenecks and hush puppies in the middle of the summer and you call someone else an idiot?
Life is full of ironies, isn't it?

Actually, with all the"...'s" it's hard to figure out if he's stating all Mustang's, or just his because of the spool. Either way, just like the Mustang can be modded into a drag car, it can be modded into a nice little corner carver too. Which is kind of the point of this thread - that people can mod their car how they choose, and people are free to mod theirs differently, but a little bit of courtesy and respect go a long way when discussing someone else's mods.

besides which our car is only good for 1/4 mile runs in a straight line...because of the spool
For corner carving and road racing, don't you need an entirely different suspension? For us, the first 60 feet is real important. I wouldn't think that anything we've done to the car, would apply to road racing a mustang. For us it's all about weight transfer at launch...don't you need to pay attention to all four corners of a corner carver?

Our car as in this one car. I have driven the car on the street with the spool....you can do it...but the rear tires scrub at every tight turn and parallel parking is out. We put in the spool because repeated transbrake launches trashed the truetrac.

Funny stuff when you start the post with a derogatory remark.
We can go on like this forever. While I keep posting on this forum, I'll give an opinion (if asked) regardless of whether I think it conforms or not. This is your world, I am just visiting. I kinda like what 05GT-OCD did with his car and stated so and this is the guy who seems to like me the least. My opinion was about his car, not the owner. He posted pics and asked for opinions. I gave mine. He can trash me all he likes but I find his exterior mods subtle and yet bold. It's hard to find that sort of combo.

I really don't give 2 craps about anyone else's opinion of my car. I love my car and have never been offended by anyone else's opinion. The car that started this whole debacle was "trucmec's", and not my torch red car anyways. I've got nothing against your car. I wish my car had more performance, but speed costs money and I'm lucky if I make it to a strip twice a year. This isn't my world, trucmec's, or any other specific member's (other than Brad's ), it's the freakin' internet and no need to get so defensive. Chill out and stay a while, the forum could definately use some more people to give good performance advice.

As far as the performance advice.....all I can do is just share what we have been through, what we are doing, what we are planning with this car. I am the least mechanically inclined in our little group, and just share our experiences....some good...some not so good.
Don't know much about show mods (wow...what a surprise). So there's certainly a whole world of mustang-modding that I could better appreciate, if I pay attention.

OK.... This site is very different from others I frequent, that are much more performance hardcore. The trouble with some of those, is that there's lots of chest pounding and vulgarity. This site is actually a pleasant breath of fresh air.
