Mine was a 1982 Mustang L sedan 2.3 4cyl 4-spd 88hp. Doubt it was that much. Bought it Oct of 87. I was 19. But instead of trying to make it run 16's, I traded up to a Mustang 6cyl. then to an 8cyl. I do not believe in building up weak cars, just save and trade it up to what you really want.
82 Mustang 4cyl 70rwhp?
81 Mustang 6cyl 90rwhp?
82 Capri 8cyl 144rwhp?
86 Capri 8cyl 175rwhp?
89 Must Gt 225rwhp
93 Cobra 262rwhp
04 Mach1 301rwhp
03 Cobra 452rwhp
07 Shelby 500+rwhp some day. Its the next logical step.

Don't laugh
1976 Mustang II 2+2 4 cylinder. :haha:
Bought it new as a high school senior
Funny thing is I almost got a ticket for unreasonable acceleration. It was a small town and the officer knew my family.
Mods - sidepipes and 60 series tires on back. 8track, and a CB with a PA speaker under the hood.

1986 GT. White and black 2-tone, with the black accent on the hood. Grey interior with red piping on the seats. 5-speed, 3.73s, exhaust, timing, free mods.
I had some American Racing chrome Hammer wheels on it, but then I got some silver ponies. Had M/T Sportsman Pros on it; I even drove in the winter with them. Durrrrrrr.
I loved that car.

3rd-1986 GT. Stock. Ran a best of 15.2 @ 91 with alot of wheel spin through 1st, 2nd and part of 3rd.
4th- Back to the 77. New Motor yet again. 93 Cobra Motor, Soon to have a C4 over the C6 we blew up in one of the initial test drives. Has been converted to carb. Should put down around 235 RWHP maybe more. Should run a low 13.(weight with me is around 2850)

No, I'm a car guy who has owned several Mustangs and a Lightning.
I do like Mustangs though. My friend Tim got me into them when I was 15 or so. He got his first one, a black smashed up '87 GT with no passenger door, when we were 15. We would drive it around the block, me sitting in the back seat because there wasn't a front passenger seat in it. It felt really fast back then.
Then he got his strawberry LX hatch and put a Cartech turbo kit on it, and I was in love. I couldn't believe how fast that was. He still has that same kit on a strawberry '90 GT, along with two bimini blue notches, one with a PTK turbo kit on it.
I also like Vettes, mainly because my dad had a '67 convertible when I was a kid. That's still my all-time favorite car. He passed away in '03 and we contacted the current owner of his old car and he wasn't selling it. Oh well.
Anyway, sorry for the long story. :violin:

1987 LX 5.0 5spd. I was 16, it only had 70000miles on it. Mint mint mint. I regret selling it ever since..... All I know was the guy who bought it threw a tach on the hood and nitrous under it.

You've got enough Ford in ya to be a cool guy in my book. I'm sorry I can't race you this weekend. My car is still at AVF anyway. I think I could hang around a little better than last time. But you still have me by 2 tenths + and 3mph I bet. I might be able to make 115-116, but you are making 120 right?

Yes, I paid cash for the cobra, making alright money now so there is no need to sell it. It will stay in the garage until I become addicted to meth...

My first mustang has been my only mustang. Got it in 2002 during my last semester in high school.
Someday i think ill buy another one, but even though this thing has put me though alot of pain trying to work on it, i doubt ill let it go unless combustion engines become illegal in the future or something.
