I lived in Germany for a few years, the cars there arent so much better than the US made cars. Over there they are cheaper, Mercedes and BMW are taxis there. The same car here would be looked at with awe just because its a Mercedes. I owned a BMW, I never will again. Slow and drove like crap. The new mustangs and the f body or vette are far better driving cars. I will take a Gran Prix GTP over almost any Mercedes or BMW. I have repaired them, driven them, and been all over all the cars I have mentioned above. I dont like a "balanced car" as the magazines put it. What that means to me is it cant get out of its own way, and drives merely okay. Everything is 50/50. ICK!! I like rip your head off and Sh** down your neck. Very European cars have that. I do enjoy Prches though, well not 924 or 944. The 911 based rides are impressive, and fun. Easy to work on. Like a VW bug.I'll take one of those, with a whole slew of RUF mods on it. Check into those once... Then sell the Honda and buy one of those... Go kill alot of cars with it...lol.

240 horses isn't much when you talking stangs, a stock 4 banger sti puts that out and that to 4 wheels. 200 shot? surprised you haven't blown the car up, what mechanic let you do that?Admin38028.4973958333

Lpstang, we are on the same page, the car must put about 23 or so to the wheels stock then!?! I've never seen anyone dump a clutch at 7,000 in any car before, but I've never been around those kinds of people since I was stuck in the same class room in high school with them. As far as running with an 03 Modena, I doubt it, I don't bother running against cars like that in my 03 Cobra, so I can't picture a Modena waisting its time either. A tubbed out V6 Mustang sounds like it should have its own Special Needs Mustang Club page or something, I'd definately love to see what the paint sceme looks like, I bet it is funnier than the origional yo,yo,yo story!
