sound of Twice Pipes; ie: Duel glass packs off a 289 bored out to a 302 with twin 4 Barrel Holly's. Included in this package was triple traction bars; Hurst Racing Transmission & 4 speed and Macpherson struts.....looks can be deceiving B) ). The light changed and I laid rubber in 3 of the 4 gears......smoked the little S**t ! .........Felt good too!

You're absolutely right - 3RD1 had an awesome story there!

I personally don't care what the car is... no matter how sad... if the driver challenges you and the timing/situation/surroundings are right, I say make them sorry. A couple weeks after I got my car I was driving along on a small highway, two lanes, one on each side, with no median. A guy who was 19-20 in a riced out Scion XB (the boxy SUV looking one) coming the opposite way rev'ed his engine right in my face as we passed (my window was open) and he had added exhaust- you know, the kind you could fit a cabbage ball into the tail pipe to shut it up. So, I was pissed, because I was half deaf in my left ear now. So, I pulled in somewhere, turned around and followed him a couple miles. He stayed on this one one lane divided highway the whole time, so no chance of getting along side of him. So, I followed him all the way to the Post Office and pulled up right next to him and called him out. First of all, he looked like he was going to crap on himself because he must have thought I was going to fight him. But, I told him let's race. Of course, he said no way and talked about hom much he respects Mustangs and that he was rev'ing his engine to just say hi out of a sign of respect. So, basically I got to make him feel whipped without even having to race. But, my point is... if they have the nerve to challenge you, disrespect you, whatever it may be... they deserve to be stomped. And some might say "pick on someone your own size". But the same can be said for these ricers that think the louder their car is, the faster it goes and get on the side of you at a light blasting the bass in their radios so loud it's practically vibrating their 20" fake spinners off their wheels and then they are rev'ing their little engines that I could fit in the front seat of my car... on the floor. Please keep the rice in the bowl and off the street.

Every now and then this would happen when I drove my '66...It was a young punk that totaled it on a joy ride last year :bang:

OT--Sorry to hear about your '66. Yours was one of my favorite color combinations. Was she built at the old Milpitas (San Jose) plant? I took a tour of the plant when I was a kid and watched them build '68 Mustangs and Cougars. My Dad's cousin worked at the plant as well.

I have no idea where she was built. I picked-er up at a salvage yard for $500 and after 11 years got her to the shape you see in the photos. Then, sorry to repeat myself, but a warning to all.... the window tint employee took it out for a joy ride and totaled it. Way too much car for the punk. If there's a positive point about this....the settlement is paying for most of my 05.

3RD1,
The untimely death of an Emberglo 66, now that hurts! Bet that is quite a story. Seems like you should have gotten a couple 05s out of his employer! Looks like she was a beauty!

It's funny but mustangs seem to be the car that gets the most bad rap from other people especially imports and most chevy and dodge people. but yet it's the car most people want to race. imports really aren't worth the effort unless they have a few grand worth of engine mods ie..(turbo and etc.) there really not that fast. of course there are always exceptions to that ie..(STI's and EVO's) but that's about it.

That's quite true. And it can be an embarrassing (note spelling) lesson for GT owners.
Having said that, to all those imports that look forward to beating GTs, I have two words for you:
Shelby Cobra...
...or Mach 1.
Then it's buh-bye time. B)

Also, the insults are why there is a "domestic vs. import" war. Most of the imports are made in America.
I love all cars, it just seems like there was some standard set a long time ago on domestics are totally different than imports and it just stuck. An engine is an engine, regardless of who made it, companies just go about it different ways. I prefer the domestic engine sounds.
But, I also like the unsuspecting potential of imports.
Wish I could get a 350Z and Mustang GT, now that'd be great!

As far as imports go I really wish they would adjust whatever it is that needs to be adjusted to get these Nissan Skyline GTR's here in the states! I would love to own a Skyline GTR and this isn't something I would call an exotic car. I know they are usually "riced" out but I've seen Mustang "riced" & tortured as well.
Tell me you wouldn't like one of these in your driveway?
What was the topic again? :scratch:

Whenever people would ask what color my car was without seeing it...instead of telling them Emberglow...or Amber Glow..... I'd just say; "Imagine holding a jar of honey up to the sun...that's the color of my car." It was a real head turner....that and the sound of the duel glass packs....

What about the Chrysler 300C with drivetrain and suspension components sent directly from Mercedes? Is that still a pure domestic vehicle?
The point is that the lines between imports and domestics is being blurred more and more every year.

Case in point:
I have had these kids in thier buzzz boxes (you know those cars that sounds like an angry bumble bee in a dumpster) try to race me on my motorcycle from light to light. The results are comical to say the least. Nope, I ain't crankin that many horses but I will have them beat on horsepower to weight ratio everytime. Any fool should realize you are not going to beat a bike off the line driving a Cavilier with an oversized exhaust.
It will be interesting to see when my GT gets here (if it ever does) if temptation will get the best of me
