I know the majority of the members on this forum lean more towards the Japanese and European cars. However for the '05 Roush Mustang, as Ali G says "Much respect".

The new stang is sooooo preeetttty. Too bad all the rednecks around here are buying up the new ponies like hotcakes. I'm seeing 2-3 a day already.

yeah, it's a hot looking car... hey alicia remember arratt? well he bought a 5.0 and already has it taken apart. Already has gull wing doors. ordered a body kit but he said it should be done by march

That Mustang is soo nice but its true, ive seen like 2-3 a day because all the "Rednecks" keep buying them. I just so happend to have a HEMI one fly past me on I95.

HEMI?? Meaning hemi-spherical head engine? I thought Chrysler is the only one to have hemi engines. Please explain?

back in '69 you could get a boss 429, it was a semi hemi.

Really? I did not know that! The Boss 429 was, and still is a bad-ass motor!

yea too bad they were a B to keep working, the 427 was much better and the same engine within a cube or 2

That is fucking hot! My first car was a 70 mustang mach1, and the retro styling of the 05 is really, really cool. The Roush additions make the car look crazy!

"more than meets the eye"

Now where is that quote from?

As a total Ford Guy...Roush missed on this one...I'm sure the motor is superb...but the styling...eh

Transformers!

lol there ya go, now go back and look at the pic of the front of that mustang...

Transformers!


I think it looks like an Optimus Crime...

I'm a loser...but couldn't resist.

:p

Has anyone ever taken any old school muscle to the rally such as camaros or mustangs.

its a hot one. no but i heard theres some going this year.

Has anyone ever taken any old school muscle to the rally such as camaros or mustangs.

That would be pritty pimp if someone drove an old school car like a mustang or camaro.

Would you consider my car "old school"?? Kinda, huh?

My car is way old school...

no its not, its a 91

my car is a 90 and it isnt even near old school

no its not, its a 91

my car is a 90 and it isnt even near old school


Well, what is old school?

pre 80's

New school + old school: My 328i, my mach1.

http://m3.digital7.com/new/5.jpg

your mach 1 looks like its hurtin a little

Misery Machine do you drive the green vette if so hell yeah thats what im talking about cause i was thinking about maybe putting my 65 stang in the rally and testing it out see how it does on long hauls. If i dont put that in i might be riding a mr2 spider not sure which one yet i still got a bit to think about it.

Yeah forgot to drop this in. That mach 1 does look like it is in pretty bad shape but with a bit of paint engine accesories and other small things itd b a great car.

Road Ripper, take the 65 Mustang in because your going to want places to shove shit that you buy and in the MR2 you might not have space.

Thanks for the tip. The reason i am debating it because im not sure it will be done im hoping it will be if not then ill find something else.

Well get tinkerin, You've got plenty of time.

Mach1 was rough, it was my first car ;)

First cars are great ill get started on that stang its gonna take alot of cash and time but ill try to have it up and running.

Car is long gone. It's living up in Canada, now.

It would be nice to see a few older cars on the rally. A guy is thinking of bringing his 87 Buick T-Type. Maybe in a few years my GN will be able to make the trip.

Nick

ps. it would be great to see an older muscle car in Joe Dirt condition run the rally. :D

Um..I think I may be that guy...I'll bring the mullet and the AC/DC T-shirts...definitely. I've got about 20 AC/DC T shirts...all I'd need is a haircut.

"I'm Joe Diretay"

Cheap looking Rims other than that it looks mostly stock

Cheap looking Rims other than that it looks mostly stock


Buying a set of Gold Rims and commenting on someone else's bad bling...

Such a shame...

Im trying to convince a friend of mine to register and do the rally with his 05 gt mustang. It's already taken apart and motor been sent out. Having interior work done with lambo doors already installed. He should have the car done by march and broken in by june. Hopefully he'll be able to do the rally. It's going to be a sick looking car. Even though, yes we see 3-4 of them a day being driven by rednecks... but car still looks good to me.

I kind of wish that they wouldn't have gone retro with it. I think that the GT is enough retro to last ford for a few years.

Nick

uh.... HRE's > mustangs no-name chromies

1971 satellite sport anybody ever heard of this thing it runs a chrysler 440 at 325 horses. We are thinking of selling the stang and gettings this car its cheaper ann not near as much stuff has to be done to it plus its got more "get up power"

Is it a 440 or a 440 hemi? If you like old mopar stuff, check out the GTX.

Nick

Would be cool if it were a hemi im not sure it is though i dont know a whole hell of a lot about the car just what dad told me last night i havent seen it yet. If i get it im gonna drop a few grand on performance and see what happens then.

uh.... HRE's > mustangs no-name chromies


go get a big penis tattooed on your forehead will ya?


Should I make it gold?

make it a thunderbirds penis

A few grand in a carb'ed muscle car will go a looong way. Header back exhaust, K&N air filter, bigger carbs, inake manifold, distributor, plugs, wires, radiator, suspension, wheels and tires. That would proably take around $2,000 from Jegs and set you up with some torq thrust II's.

Nick

Included in that 2K that I forgot about, bigger fuel pump and B&M shifter.

Nick

yeah if everything works out right you guys might be seeing me and the big thing at the 07 rally.

wow... 2K is cheap for all of that crap. Suspension and wheels alone would take me way, way over that budget.

Thats the good thing about muscle cars the parts dont cost that much. And you get alot more power than ricers hahaha.

And you get alot more power than ricers hahaha.

that's debatable

sure...muscle cars can crank out some horsepower. But if you start factoring in weight, agility etc...

Yeah thats but they do go faster in a straight line.

oh let's not start that straight line race thing again. lol

Well ok. The only thing i dont like about the car is the mileage it sux ass

a real track has turns...

Well ok. The only thing i dont like about the car is the mileage it sux ass
My STi is having that problem.

Nick

Alot of muscle cars would be good for drifting. I was reading Hot Rod and a guy was drifting an old el camino at an event.

Nick

again...another back to back post that could have been consolidated with the use of the EDIT function.

Once again, worried about posts but not what is in them.

Nick

really..you were talking about a drifting EL camino?! was I supposed to take that seriously? I'd have laughed my ass off had I seen it. Not that there're not capable. Just the thought. El camino. hahahahaha

It was pretty cool lookin, like a 67-69ish. Flat black, with flames.

Nick

but really? what is it? an ugly pick up truck? or a half ass car? It's like they didn't have enpugh money to complete it. It was like "hmmm....we don't have enough money to sheet metal a trunk on this. Let's leave it open and convince everyone it's a pick up truck!"

Its like a pickup-chevelle mix. Can't say too much bad about a vehicle that had an optinal 369 or 454.

Nick

I don't NOt respect it.
It's just ugly.
Not as ugly as a murkor of course. But still funny looking.

You don't live far enough out in the sticks to appreciate the el camino.

Nick

first off its merkur 2nd I have nothing but respect for the ElCo, my buddy used to have one

Hell yeah, another person who likes El Camino's.

Nick

An El Camino or Ford Ranchero would be a perfect twin engine platform...like Caddy did with the Twinstar. A Big Block up front and a Big Block in the bed running the rear wheels...talk about Full Time All Wheel?

Thats the good thing about muscle cars the parts dont cost that much. And you get alot more power than ricers hahaha.

Note: I've yet to see a Honda run wheels up due to massive amounts of torque...although I've seen many 440's do just that.

I was about to add GM not Ford, anyhoo. I like turbo/intercooled 3.8. :)

That's kool, but as far as I know, GN's didn't come with manuals?

Nope, only autos. The slogan was "goin fast with class". Guess that is why they didn't include a manual. To make up for the auto part I got a B&M shifter that makes it more driver controlled.

Nick

Fast with class? What a load. No leather, minimal power options, T-tops,etc.

A fully loaded SC - Full leather interior, dual power seats with lumbar, power moon roof, automatic lights, tilt wheel, CD, Air, power locks, power windows...should I continue?

I thought about a GN...it's more muscle than an SC was...but as for the class comment, it doesn't come close. And comparitively, the SC's and GN's were very close in HP and Torque...

Sorry guys im a bit behind. Im not sure the old satellite may be able to drift its got such fat ass tires. But i do know it has power when you punch it it wrinkles the tires and picks the front wheels up off the ground, its great.

Remember this was back in the early to late 80's. The cars came with leather untill 1986, power seats were optional, all have tilt wheel, moon roof or t-tops were optional, all had air, power locks and windows were optional but almost every GN has them. Auto lights and CD's weren't around back then. I would say that it has class, especially for an 80's american car. Mine has pw/pl, rear defrost, concert sound stereo, tilt wheel, a/c, electric trunk pop, remote mirror's control, and a cigarette lighter (not all new cars have those).
Here are some fun facts for the GN. BTW: the power ratings were a bit under-rated.
Production: Grand Nationals: 20,193 GNX: 547
Engines: Grand National: 3.8L V6 Turbo 245 bhp @ 4400 rpm, 355 ft-lb @ 2000 rpm. GNX: 3.8L V6 Turbo 276 bhp @ 4400 rpm, 360 ft-lb @ 3000 rpm.
Performance: Grand National: 1/4 mile in 14.23 seconds @ 98 mph. GNX: 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, 1/4 mile in 13.43 seconds @ 103 mph.

Nick

http://riekmann.prohosting.com/verkauf2/plymouth_satellite_1971.htm thats a real car its just like mine in every way except for tires paint and a little slower prolly. I know where an elcamino is for like 250$ its a pile but itd be a great project.

That is a beautiful mopar and most piles are good starts for projects. :)

Nick

Supposedly the GNX will be available in GT4?

http://camaroplace.com/Web/GT4GNX.jpg

Sweet. I have been un-patiently waiting for GT4.

Nick

Sony sucks, they keep delaying every game and game system

Just one more reason why Nintendo>all

Nintendo usually releases its products BEFORE the stated release date

True, sony is very slow in releasing their products especially if its comming from japan. Japan is still a power country as far as world trading goes becase more stuff comes outa japan than the stuff that goes in especially cars and electronics, which is why many countries have debts with japan. They also limit on what they export out.

Nintendo is pathetic if you want a real system get an XBOX. Its like a computer only better and its like 200bucks fully loaded with XBOX live. PS2 Is ok but if your going to buy one now, dont buy this new slimmer looking one because it dosent have online functions, it over heats and it dosent have a hard drive.

I guess in the long run patience is a virtue.

Nintendo is pathetic?? Please tell me how?

They are a front runner in the gaming industry, they ALWAYS make their release dates, their games are by far the most fun to play. Nintendo is a gigantic company, right up there in profits with microsoft and sony, and all nintendo does is games while microsoft and sony obviously have many other things going on.

Xbox is pathetic all they have is Halo and Halo 2.

Dont get me wrong, i do own every last Nintendo system and you do got a point they have never missed or delayed ANY release date for a game. Xbox only has halo and halo 2 but you forgot about Dead or alive 3, 3 ultimate beach volley ball and BVB2

Not to mention that nintendo has been in the gaming industry before microsoft was even around, and before sony even considered it.

Also the Nintendo DS owns the playstation portable.

You have started a battle that I will not let you win, Nintendo for life niggas.

LOL, you say it like PS2= cripts Nintendo= Bloods and Xbox is just their trying to get some action.

Hmm that seems sorta true :)

Dont get me wrong, i do own every last Nintendo system and you do got a point they have never missed or delayed ANY release date for a game. Xbox only has halo and halo 2 but you forgot about Dead or alive 3, 3 ultimate beach volley ball and BVB2


Those games sucked, you want some real good games? Lets talk Resident Evil, how about the entire Mario series? Want old school? How bout some Contra, Megaman, Metroid, Donkey Kong and Bubble Bobble. Xbox cant touch shit.

Now dont get ME wrong, I own xbox, and halo and halo 2 are some of the absolute best games out there now, but to say that xbox is better than nintendo because of those 2 games is very far off.

OMG im suprized you even know about contra. Them things are throw backs. Resident Evil gets me on the edge of my seat everytime i play it.

Hehe colico vision vs atari?

Surprised?? Man, I used to beat contra on weekends, as long as the nintendo didnt freeze and reset!

Atari for those 2, but ever hear of a system called In-Television? my grandfather had it when I was real young, it rocked!

Dont think ive heard of it. I used to hate it when your on the last level then it freezes. Classics at they're best. For some reason im adicted to that viewtiful joe game. It rocks.

never played a viewtiful joe game...
My buddy is huge into gaming, I'm talkin literally has every single system from Atari, to Nintendo, Gameboy's, Sega, SegaCD, N64, PS1, PS2, Xbox, uh wtf was the name of that one that you put on your head and it was all red and right in your eye? well he has that, he literally has every system I can think of not to mention over 500 games. He writes online reviews for games and systems so he gets games before they are even released. He is also die hard Nintendo, so I guess it kinda rubbed off after listening to his wisdom on the subject.

He has a horrible website that is not at all gaming related but check it out

www.rawmeatcowboy.com

Thats also his halo2 live name Rawmeat Cowboy

and no, he isnt a homogay

Kool, well it was fun postin back to back but i g2g.

Xbox is pathetic all they have is Halo and Halo 2.

you shut your foul mouth. They have KAREOKE EXTREME!

damn asians and your kareoke

we were blessed with beautiful voices, what can I say?

That is a beautiful mopar and most piles are good starts for projects. :)

Nick

Yeah i found another last night that has the type of tires and setup that mine does.

Well guys im siding with the xbox people on most of the great games but there is another game system only mentioned once in these posts and thats the atari the god of all games sure they have simple graphics and games but has anyone tried to play one lately i got my ass kicked in them cause im used to halo and halo 2 and toka and shit like that.

xbox?? obviously you have no taste in gaming... but to each his own


everyone that matters knows that nintendo owns and has owned since the came out with the NES

Nintendo is OG xbox is about as good as ja rule is gangster "Noooo Monica!"

PS2 all the way. Can't wait for GT4.

Nick

Sony and Microsoft are only concerned with $$, while Nintendo is more focused on gaming.

Each system has their select group of games that are totally kick ass, but overall Nintendo has the competion by a landslide

Nintendo has some great games. My roomates and I play Mario Kart on a bi-daily basis. But PS2 has better new games.

Nick

New Saleen.

Nick

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v466/suboobaruWRseX/3dmustang.jpg

nintendo sucks on graphics and they should have never gone to a disk.That saleen is purty.:D

By mario kart, I was talking N64.

Nick

i got mario kart on 64 and goldeneye the best game ever!

nintendo's graphics suck?! have you seen the new resident evil??

tell me that these are bad graphics:

http://www.cube-europe.com/games/re4/2.jpg

http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/2004/screen0/535840_20040305_screen002.jpg

nintendo graphics aren't bad but ill still stick with the pixcelated goodness that is the ps2

eh.... to each his own

I thought that resident evil was gonna be available for PS2.

Nick

hmm, I know ps2 is getting Resident Evil Outbreak I'm not sure about RE4 tho, maybe

Ok, I didn't know there was more than one version coming out.

Nick

me either, I just saw some screenshots while looking for the gamecube ones

alright...

Nick

We have all this debate about new systems, but you've all overlooked the greatest game of all time. Colico Vision. LONG LIVE BURGER TIME.

X Box here, but I just got to play with, My pc is the true gamming system. You think those graphics are good you really need to see DOOM 3 on my system.

or world of warcraft on mine, 128 megabite graphics card

Good game....

yeah i enjoy it have you played it yet

GT4 is coming out for ps2 soon and its looking pretty damn good. I have Need for speed underground and its along the same lines but im sure GT4 will blow that away.

yeah i have under ground two its pretty addictive, ecspecially the url section, i guess they wanted to make it a little more like grand turismo

yeah but the urls are pretty easy if you ask me, im on the 2nd or 3rd level and im having trouble in the drift races. pain in the ass.

the trick is to let the other cars get like 4 secs. ahead of you, than drop it back in neutrul and drop the clutch. Whats becomes a reall pain in the ass is the downhill drifting that takes a while, im using an audi tt maxed out

I still use the first car i got in the begining of the game, im pretty sure its the toyota, I have every mod you can get on it but am just saving up all the money I win for a better car when it becomes unlocked. Did you know what you can unlock a lot of stuff by doing the outrun contests.

yeah ive unlocked every upgrade ive done like 53% of the game

oh ok yeah im not that far, i had to take a break from that game and catch up on some GTA

is GTA 4 out yet?

god i need to go to Best Buy like now

Grand theft auto (GTA) or Grand turismo 4 (GT4)?

gt4 i already have Grand Theft Auto, Within the first week i had it, my PS2 took two drops, the system still works the game dosen't , i got all the way to vegas to :(

my friends brother and his friends played the game round the clock till they beat it, they took turns playing it till it was done, non stop playing one of them were always on it. NERDS

IT Is an addictive game, but i only put like 3, or four hours a day into it, i need to find something to fix the disk, dont feel like blowing 50 bucks to buy another copy of a game that i already own.

I confess, I couldn't stop playing NFSU. Iplayed for hours everyday till I beat the game. Sad thing is, I don't even like vids.

well except for kareoke for xbox.

did it just get scratched or something worse?

it got like deep scratched but only on near the rim i think it was right in the load path, the game spools up and runs but like five miniuites in it gives you disk read error

maybe putting it through a disk cleaner or something may help but if its nicked or anything you are pretty much fucked.

i wonder if like the disk dr. thing is worth looking at

yeah but if thats the case then your looking at spending more money for a new ps2

the ps2 works just the game is screwed up

oh well if you almost beat it then who cares, im sure you can get a ppg (previous played game) for cheap if you really wanted to beat it.

yeah thats what im thinking wait until summer and buuy one off Electronic Boutique, thats how i got grand turismo

oh by the way.
