LMAO at the wrecking part, touche' good sir.I'm not sure that you understand the definition of "hipster."
Rather, do you mean that Mustangs are no longer being owned primarily by people who enjoy wrenching, racing, and wrecking at Mustang Week?
No, no it isn't. Not one time on the street or track has anyone ever lost, and everyone follows up with "well you lost to FI, so it doesn't count".It's so much more rewarding when you race people and they realize you aren't power adding.
With that said I eventually plan on a positive displacement somewhere around 700rwhp. It is going to be a daily after all.
But yes, I very much so "am that guy" and have been.
I've known a few guys who dumped tons of money into having a fast NA car, fast forward years later and every single one has a turbo or blower. Each one is open it was a waste of money only to get worked over by someone with FI.
Take the average GT/Shelby owner and put them next to the average 4cyl/6cyl owner. They won't have a lot in common. Lot of the base buyers want something that looks cool with decent economy and doesn't think about anything else.OP doesn't realize the original 64-1/2 mustang was intended to be a "secretaries car." Plenty of flower power hippies were driving them.
Nothing has changed since then. Vast majority of base (v6 and 4cyl) model mustang owners probably could care less about getting oil on their hands or racing.
