then those stock Mustangs with their fake hood scoops and fake break scoops are ricey as hell [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

This just occured to me the other day as I parked behind one.

Yeah, I'm definately not a fan of the V6 mustang "scoops". The GT's are semi-functional in the sense that stock they don't do much, but can be made functional.

Not trying to flame anyone, but the last 20 or so mustang drivers I have seen have all been the stupidest people. For instance one wanted to race from a 50 roll on the streets not the freeway or anything. Who does that I mean come on. Also, I saw one the other day who had a HOV6 emblem on the back.[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] And everytime be got on it he would have to swerve like he had been watching too much Fast and the Furious. Anyways, I am not a fan of the fake hoods either. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

it is bad enough that altezzas are made for every car in the industry pratically, but now its horrible that they are made for the domestics, like mustangs, and camaros....what in the hell are people thinking! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

I think the 'low performance' hood is outweighed by the 'high performance' engine. Even the V6s (which are considered to be the joke Mustangs) aren't by any means slow. I wish I had a Stang.

for those of you wanting a stang.

Why didn't you buy one. The base model V6 Stangs are relatively the same price as the 7th gen Civic. I don't see what reason besides insurance why you wouldn't buy one.

don't the V6's have 190hp and run a 16 flat? those are pretty sad because they're very detuned--->need to be tweaked

no offense to anyone, but if i really wanted performance, I wouldn't have bought a civic in the first place

that being said, I like those nice 'functional' side air scoops on the 'stangs I don't think they make the car look any better, so whats the point?

those fake vents came stock. if you believe they are ricey, then spoilers on our civics (an option, not standard) are ULTRA-RICEY
