[QUOTE="Jroc, post: 13750916, member: 51847"] Incorrect. While not a world beater in terms of performance it's still a performance based car. It's about having a car that makes you feel good, and cool about yourself, and having fun because the vehicle has a sporty nature to it. If your sole purpose for buying a car is for it's practicality then there are way better options than any Mustang. If practicality is the only reason for the car then there would be no reason for Ford to sell, or for people to buy a RWD, 2 door, budget v6 coupe with an optional manual transmission. That doesn't make any sense. A Miata or FR-S is slow as shit compared to many performance cars, but they are still sport cars that are made to appeal to their owners senses, and for them to have fun driving. A v6 Mustang is to a v8 Mustang what a base Corvette is to a Z06/ZR1, and a base 911 is to a 911 Tubro/GT3, etc for people with less $. In it's purist forum Mustang is still about enjoying the way your car makes you feel, and it's image which some people find cool regardless of it's cylinder count, just in a much more budget forum and with less performance than a Vette or 911. Believe it or not not everyone wants or needs a 500 HP Vette or 550 HP GT500 to have fun driving their cars. You never have anything good to say about a Ford. You constant argue against them. Lets look at this thread for example: First I do know a little bit about a EVO. I'm no expert, but I have a decent knowledge of them. Back in 03 when the EVO came out and hit our shores I was a big import guy and had a huge hard on for the car. I know the 4G63 is built like a tank, and has huge power potential. I know the EVO's chassis has an extra 200 welds over a base Lancer chassis. I know the Recaro's and MOMO steeringwheel feel wonderful as does it's shifter. I know it has extremely quick steering. I thought having 4 wheel Brembo brakes on a $35K performance car was the shit back in 03. I know a EVO has the potential to beat up on some every expensive/fast cars when modded correctly.

I can say that you can throw $10K in performances mods at a Foxbody and go beat up on stock C6Z's in a roll, and I'm sure their are quite a few examples that will, but I guarantee you that not every Foxbody with $10K in mods running around the streets will take down a stock Z in a roll race. In this thread you and several others started acting like it's inconceivable that a EVO with $10K in mods can lose to a new GT500 which is pretty ridiculous as you are great selling the GT500 short on just how fast it is. Sure some people started talking a bunch of smack about the EVO, but if I remember correctly it was only after y'all started bringing the GT500 down like it was BS that it could beat a budget performance car that's been around for 11 years with a factory 276 BHP from a turbo I4 in a high speed roll race when it's had $10K in mods thrown at it. Like I said earlier it wouldn't have surprised me if the EVO took this victory, but it doesn't surprise me and it should surprise anyone else that it didn't either. [/QUOTE]
