[QUOTE="jtfx6552, post: 11827312, member: 3823"] Back when I got my used 82 GT in 19813, I almost killed myself with it about 2 hours after I got it. Went around the turn and without thinking, gave it the same amount of throttle as my used to give my 200 CID 65 Mustang, and all the sudden was going sideways. Ran a blistering 15.3 stock, which was relatively quick at the time, lol, I upgraded that car in stages, got into the 14s, the 13s, the 12s, then the 11s. Took years to do, and I learned how to drive it along the way. Got my '03 and that was a handful when I got the pully on it, the 82 ran 11's but only at 117-118, not the 122-123 the Cobra ran, but I got used to it. I've been driving a friend of mines C6 corvettes for a while and am used to trapping over 130 now. It is scary to me that the base V6 Mustang has almost twice the HP of my 82 GT, and anybody with a few dollars in their pocket can go buy a relatively high HP V8 Mustang or Crapmaro, with 400+, and for a few dollars more me 580 to 668. I'm surprised more people don't end up wrapped around various trees, telephone poles etc. [/QUOTE]
