I, like probably all Mustang owners, love to just listen to the engine roar when I put my foot down or drag someone. But i also love to listen to music that just makes me wanna go fast...so heres my question. What songs do you like to listen to when your either driving fast in a race or alone? whatever pumps you up!

For myself i love the song "walk away" by the Nadas. (its the theme song to that SPEED network show Pinks...the one they play at the end when a guy loses his car.)

"Let Sally Drive" - Sammy Hagar
"Steve McQueen" - Sheryl Crow
"Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" - Nickelback/Kid Rock
"Born to Run" by the Boss does it for me.
'fast songs'

So far, a lot of songs have been posted that are great songs to drive to, that make us want to drive our stangs fast, so I have one more, that most probably are very familiar with. Im in my early thirties, so I grew up watching the TV show, Miami Vice. In several of the episodes, there was a song played called "Chase," when Don Johnson was chasing some cars, while in his Ferrari. It's nothing but instrumental music, but it makes me wanna rip the street up while I'm driving. You can find the song on the original soundtrack of "Miami Vice." Great little song.
In addition to several of teh other listed about (fuel, ***** built my hot rod) here are some of my favorite driving songs:

highway star- deep purple
black sunshine- white zombie
Paranoid- black sabbath
radar love- golden earring or white lion

hmmm... that's interesting they all have colors in their band names.

MORTIS' offical song is "Master and Servant" by Depesche Mode
I can't keep from pushin' the pedal when Led Zeppelin's "Wearing and Tearing" is on. Also, My Chemical Romance's "I'm Not Okay (I Promise)"!.

Pretty much ANY Zeppelin song is going to make my foot heavy. I have every one of their albums in MP3 on two discs in the player at all times. Lately though I've been more alternative when racing...Modest Mouse and She Wants Revenge type stuff.
Well...

...I won Jessica in Vegas, so
"Pretty Vegas" by INXS
There's another good one on their new album Switch called "Hot Girls" that's pretty good for driving fast too. Sexist as hell, but good nonetheless.
Also:
"Dragula" by Rob Zombie
"California Dreaming" techno remix
"I Like It" by Narcotic Thrust

Those are my favs.
Ray of Sunshine

Mijk Van Dijk's song "Ray of Sunshine" [on iTunes]. It's very techno and entirely instrumental, I think. Play the sample on iTunes and see if it doesn't make you want to drive fast, just sitting there, at your computer.

Wish I could find the "Rays of Sunshine" from Nitto's website video.

Boom.

Yup, you're right: We all love the roar of our engines - we all have that in common. Looking at the various responses to your post, one thing for certain we do not have in common is our music. Talking about diverse selections; Wow and that's great!!
For all the cars I loved before..

I'm and old fart. So here is part of my list:

Highway Star-Deep Purple
Spacestation #5-Montrose
On the Run-Pink Floyd
Moonlight Sonata-Beethoven


Just kidding about the last one. I'm not that old!!
I would have to add "She sells Sanctuary" by the Cult, There's just something about the opening that makes me want to put my windows down and the the right foot with it!

If i could add another summer, windows down, cruisung song... Van Halen's "Dancing in the Streets".
The Cult

Wow, I remember them.... I saw The Cult opening for Billy Idol, in.... yike, 1987?

The only coherent memory I have, of that evening, is of "Mony Mony".

I'm pretty sure....
I like rock songs too

"Raise Your Hands" by Bon Jovi from Slippery When Wet

"Bust a Move" by Young MC
"Dead and Bloated" By STP (Stone Temple Pilots)
How does that one song go? "I laid rubber last week and the street's still smokin'!"


Ow, my head.... stop blinking so loud.

My girlfriend doesn't consider herself drunk until she is laying on the floor... and has to hold on.
