Good kill, I always thought those NSX kinda sucked. Overpriced and not enough power.
They are supposed to handle well. I think overpriced as well. Though stock for stock the NSX probably would have taken his stang. Of course it's hard to beat a nice h/c/i and supercharged stang.dollarbill said:Good kill, I always thought those NSX kinda sucked. Overpriced and not enough power.
True, you spent less. The local guy who runs 6'[email protected] in his Pinto at the track spent less as well. The money arguement really means I spent less because I couldn't afford the more expensive car. Not always the case but generally I think true. Nothing wrong with that, I had a h/c/i supercharged 1995 Mustang GTS that made 480rwhp/420rwtq SAE that weighed in around 3200#'s. It had a complete suspension package on it as well and it ran like a runaway frieghtrain (when it ran :sosad: ). I reget selling it though, for that car would have easily beaten my new Vette and did beat my 03 Cobra when I ran against it on the highway (wife driving the 95). I spent a hell of lot less on that car than my current ride and it was no doubt faster but definitely not better.truuble said:Stock for stock, he woulda wasted me. No doubt. But . . . then . . . mine is no longer stock . . . :winks Still spent a lot less than he did, though.
Actually .. I can afford just about any car I want. I drive my stang because I want to. I drive a 95 vert because it has the "don't mind me I'm slow" look. What I like is continually tweaking and modifying the car to make it better . . and to make it the way I want it. Anybody can write a check. The satisfaction comes from the process of taking a "normal" car and making it into something else . . . which is why I didn't buy a Saleen or a Rousch. And, when you run up against someone who wrote a check for something that he thinks will out run you . . . well . . . its all smiles. :winks95MGTS said:True, you spent less.

I just love it when somebody has to justify thier choice of vehicle with the same old "I can afford any car I want". I don't know how many times Ive heard this. No-one cares if you can afford any car you want, you dont need to tell us!truuble said:Actually .. I can afford just about any car I want. I drive my stang because I want to.

Hey now, there is nothing I like to see more in this world than rich people spending their money on the things they truly want, rather than the things that society THINKS they should have. A rich guy with a sleeper 95 GT, is WAY cooler than some rude jerk with a Gallardo and an attitude to match...fast66 said:I just love it when somebody has to justify thier choice of vehicle with the same old "I can afford any car I want".

Dude . . did you even READ the post I was responding to? 95MGTS was comparing me to a Pinto and slamming my car because the Acura is "better." I didn't bring up the money thing. I merely stated that driving a Mustang is my choice . . . not my limitation.fast66 said:I just love it when somebody has to justify thier choice of vehicle with the same old "I can afford any car I want".

What he said! :drink:Phenius said:Why all the arguing about the cost of cars? I think it's safe to say we all live and breathe mustang, and if we don't, then why the hell are we here? We like our Stangs, wouldn't trade them in for the world, kinda like why I keep my BC Rich Mockingbird instead of buying a PRS. I bought an 86 Coupe, am taking out all the guts and making everything my own...Cuz the Mustang is untamed, just like its owners! So let's stop the bickering about car prices, if the stang cost 80 grand I'd still save up every penny I had till I could buy one![]()
A little sensitive huh? I never slammed your car either. You did say you spent a lot less though:truuble said:Dude . . did you even READ the post I was responding to? 95MGTS was comparing me to a Pinto and slamming my car because the Acura is "better."

No need to justify what you can and can not afford to me. Though like someone said above, when somebody says they can afford any car they want....well, okay.truuble said:Still spent a lot less than he did, though.
Now that I agree, might just be bettertruuble said:Correct. BUT . .. faster with the top down, the stereo jammin, and seein an NSX in your dust IS better!:winks
