On this I agree.

I disagree, cars with 12 cylinders always cool. :) They often may not have more power, but 12 cylinders are cool.

ford gt...*drool*


does anyone know why the dodge stealth never became real popular, considering its venerable horsies and torque?

Cool car. But manike's is cooler. :) When we were in Hawaii over Christmas, the cheapest rental convertable was a mustang, so they were EVERYWHERE. Them and those sebring things, but I think the mustang is much cooler.

I would rather have my car go $2000 faster then look $2000 more ricey :)

I think the stealth was comparable to the mustangs and camaro's. Both of which had more power assuming you didn't go for the base model. Look how many mopars you see compared to GM's and fords from the muscle car era. I don't think mopar ever sold close to what ford and GM did as far as cars go.

He answered it for me. Besides the fact those body kits look like ***. Why would I want my car to look like a cobra unless it WAS a cobra? Thats like getting a fake muscle suit and wearing it under your clothes so people think you are built. Its lame, and I just laugh at people who do that.

Cutting your hair and shaving are more like washing and waxing your car, not making it look ridiculous with a stupid body kit.

Mopar = Dodge, Plymouth, Crystler, and now Jeep
Kind of like how
Ford = Ford, Lincon, and Mercury
GM = GM, Chevy, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, amd Pontiac

My car has a body kit.

Do you think it looks stupid?





I'm not talking about some gawdy excessive pos body kit. I'm talking subtle.

Believe me, Mustangs could use an upgrade in the looks department.

I do, It has around 300 hp and 300 ft/lbs and it weighs 3800 lbs. Come on 3800 lbs that thing weighs only 500 lbs less than my roomates 2003 jeep grand cherokee.

My point wasn't that all body kits look stupid (Although I think purely cosmetic modifications are just a waste of money in any case).

He wanted me to get a Cobra body kit, to attempt to my my stock v6 mustang look like a v8 Cobra beast. That is the stupidest of all modifications, a cosmetic modification to try to make your car look faster. That specifically is what I was calling stupid.

Thanks Mango.

If you come to Texball you can see it up close and personal.. That is if I ever get it cleaned up again. It's so filthy right now.
