howd u order a special ford mustang v6. sorry i giggled when i read that.

I wouldn't knock his v6, it definitely looks like it's got more muscle than your GT.

DO IT!!!

+1 on that. And it actually changes from different cities and towns my state. Small town usually cheaper, but less to choosed from. I think alot of us who bought an 04 at the end of 04 got better deals because the new 05's were on their way in with much hype. Some people had to preorder an 05 GT with a 6 month waiting list. The dealers were pushing the 04's off the lot as fast as they could.

And prices haven't varied too much from 02 until now. I looked at a Mach1 in 2002 while shopping for my wifes car, and it was 32 grand sticker price. Competition orange w/ black stripes. absolutley beautiful I thought. But 32,000 was a bit much in 02. It's actually the reason I even bought a GT in 04 cause I loved that Mach so much..

Keep your Mach 1 bro. just try to refinance it maybe or hit the lottery... :)

Honestly, I might as well get hit by a truck than win the lottery. Especially here in Colorado...lottery luck is anything but. Most lottery winners here end up dying.

excpet it doesnt at all, walked the shit out of it on 33rd street...

Hence the reason why I said "looks"

there are things called options. ya know, things that are upgraded from the standard equipment. so he special ordered his car with certian options that couldnt be found on the lots

even so, it looks stock.. except for bullit rims.

They are saying that his car "looks" <-- (they call that a key word) better and faster than your car does, because well. It does. lol

Stephen, are you this dense in real life? Seriously. Dustin, anyone care to chime in on this?

Stephen needs a god damn brass monkey. Evan, where's the brass monkey award?

No, he's not dense like this in real life. I think that is just his way of arguing. He is basically saying 'how can John's (mustangV6_04) car look more muscular than mine since it is stock, except for the wheels?' And the reason why he said that ordering options for a V6 made him giggle, is because his lines of thinking are 'why order all those options for a V6 when you could just save all that crap and get a V8'? If that's not his exact thoughts put into more literal terms, then I'd say they're pretty close.

I think all of this arguing over whose car looks better or whose car looks faster is stupid. If Stephen's Mustang was owned by anyone but Stephen, people would be like 'it looks great' and would be all over it like stink on shit.

Both of their cars look great. I've seen them in person, so I know. I personally don't think either one of them look faster than the other. Looks don't matter, it's what's under the hood that counts. :p

I would either keep the mach1 and just keep paying it off. Or sell it and get a cheap fox body which can be had for as low as $3,000 for a nice one down here.

Older Mustangs in Florida are always cheaper because we have such nice weather and thus they sell a lot of them down here.

I've been thinking about that too, I'm gonna make a new one for here. :)

I personally don't like the Cobra FB on Stephen's car, JMHO. Not baggin on Stephen because if he likes the bumper, more power to him, I've just never liked white Cobra's much less white GT's with a cobra bumper...

John's car looks more agressive because of the DD rears, Hood scoop and chin spoiler, yeah it's all asthetics and yes Stephens car may be faster, but we were talking about looks here.

Anyway, back on topic.. :rolleyes:

Well to stephen's defense, the only reason the cobra front doesn't look great is because he doesn't have a damn chin, and he has shitty stock wheels. It'll look much better after he does those...the chrome headlights don't help either

I have the black headlights now..

nothing againts his car at all, i love it.. and DSG is amazing. but if i had rims.. sorry... mine would be so much better.

I'll be honest, that adds a lot to the front end. Still need a chin spoiler and different rims though.

I think stephens car looks pretty good the rims have to go but thats about it. Sometimes he is a douche online but at least he's funny

Weird thing is, his wheels don't look that bad in person. It would look better with some black Saleens or something.

Also needs to lose that shitugly spoiler

Definitely needs the chin spoiler, and given the fact that his spoiler is the '99 version I would agree that it needs to go too. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car, but it just doesn't appeal all that much to me, maybe it's just the fact that it doesn't have much to break up all of the white.

BTW, the headlights definitely add alot to the front end, good job.

Stephen, you should keep an eye on craigslist for some rims. They sell like crazy around here.

I keep an eye out for wheels for him all the time, haha. Practially every time I go on CL, I'm thinking of rims for his car. I may have found him some...

the car looked better with grill delete and chin and GT bumper b/c its was placed nicely, i got the cobra front b/c in the long run it will look better with everything. aka the drop, the chin, the hood is WAYYY out of place... i will be doing some black accents, tinted tails,side markers,3rd light.. along with black rims and i will blackhat the car (paint roof and pillars black)

my car needs that downforce with all my v8 power... :)

to mention we took about hour to measure the holes properly to make sure they didnt get drilled incorrectly.

dam dude, I am sorry to hear that but only thing I can really say is you should have thought about the financial situation you were getting yourself into when you bought the car. Honestly best bet as of now I feel is for you to either keep the car and do you best to get a job/pick up more hours at your job and try to get a positive income flowing in, or sell the car(not to a dealership) buy yourself a cheap beater until you can work your way out of debt.


I know when I was shopping for my cobra, I made sure I could afford it, ran the numbers a 1000x times to be sure I was comfortable affording the monthly payments and insurance on it. That and I planned for a year to buy it, saved up a ton of cash and sold my v6, so I was able to pay for about 60% of my car out right, minimizing my loan(hated the idea of paying interest on a car, but still consider it better than insurance, lol).

Hope it works out man, but thats just my thought on it, being a college student with tuition debt, and a car loan, and working while in school.

Fail. The ONLY person I think who has ever pulled that off has to be the yellow and black one on here (yellowstang99?)

Ive seen several cars with the black top all of which looked good. In fact i sent a white to Pcola via PM a while back. Seen it done on a red car and a white one. both looked good. dont forget about maddens stang the silver one.

I wasn't around when Madden had his silver stang, so to be honest, I haven't seen it. And I figured you'd be one of the first to go against my opinion on that because I remember a few months ago you posting a thread suggesting you blackhat your car...

I'm still not a fan of that car, but yes that is the one I was referring to.
