I am not sure but I am sure it contributes. I want to peel the paint off of everyone I see. I hate them and get such a laugh out of the fart cans and wings. Am I alone? The strip packages are even worse. How about the body kits? Its so stupid and they dont realize it.

My friends 19 year old girl though my Mach was a joke because it was a Ford and not a Honda. WTH? I just told her to bring her ricer friends out to play. It just amazes me how stupid people are.

Sorry, but it wasn't a Charger.

My mistake. I must be still asleep this morning. Yes it was a Charger.

Ricers are even stupider. LOL.

I am not into racing on the sreet. I try not to do it. Ricers are my only exception. I will put them down fast. if things are safe. I dont condone it at all. But, its so much fun to put them away. I try to be responsible and please dont think I am crazy. I know its against the law.

Ricers are my enemy and not Camaros or other Mustangs. I hate them. I hope to god I was not that supid at a young age. My good friend has a son who is a ricer with a Neon. He has a Covrette and his son has no interest in it. WTF? How could you not be interested in a Vette? ?What is wrong with kids today?
Just make sure when talking to a ricer and quoting horsepower that you multiply the actual HP number by 4. So that new 5.0 has 412 x 4 = 1648 HP in rice power terms. lol

It took over 15 years to convince people the mustang GT didn't have a 5.0....
Now it'll take them just as long to convince them its a 5L and not a 4.6.....
great..

Debadge it and have even more fun! I did that to my Z28, much fun. Few knew that black roof's on 4th gen cars means Z28 package unless they opted for the body colored panel. Quiet exhaust, no identifying badges, it suckered in and leveled quite a few in it's day. I like debadged vehicles it's sneaky, why do you think I got a GTO lol.

Non car people are funny. I remember many people looking at me sideways when driving in the parking lot after my Ford 9 with locker install. That click click had more than a few "I know something about cars" guys telling me sounds like my pinion gear or c clips are going out! "Ya I know I'll get around to fixing it one day".

wow. funny. i can pinpoint the 94-95 5.0s and the 96-98 4.6s easily. of course its the tail lights being the biggest hint, but even the GT badges are different. the 94-95 read 'GT Mustang' then suprisingly enough the 96-98 read 'GT 4.6L'. from all you guys stories i cant believe how slow some people can be. i can understand mistaking the new 5.0 for a '10 4.6 GT, but for a V6??? i bet these are the same people who mistake the Camaro for a Mustang. then again maybe its the fact their not really car people...who knows

94's were rounded front and back.. 1 solid piece

I believe some VERY early 95's still had the one piece... so it's 99% correct.

The main difference between a 94 and a 95 Gt, is that the 94 GT had a leather shift ****!

So if you didn't know that, does that mean you're stupid? Idiots? C'mon guys! Do you all really expect the world to have as much interest in your cars as you do? Everybody knows a lot about something. You/we just happen to know a bit more about Mustangs than average Joe at the gas pump!

Let it go guys! Who cares if your neighbor doesn't know you have a brand new FIVEPOINTOHHHHMY GOD!! Get over yourselves and just go enjoy your rides!

You should check that out; as that WAS a difference between the two years. At least that's what my service guy told me years ago when my leather **** became defective. He said the 94's had it and the 95's did not. So I could be wrong, but I'd never admit that!!!

And I would never "flame" you!

Ha-ha... Too funny. I ordered my 94 with everything but the 17s, and it had the hard plastic shifter. I put a SuperCoupe **** in it.

Not sure when a leather **** made it into the GT...
