I have the coolest girlfriend ever

[miketa95]

My girlfriend is looking at this mustang. She likes These and GTO's, she doesn't like the f-body though because she can't see the hood.

It's still ridiculously awesome though. How did I get so lucky?

If anyone knows anything about this car let me know too, she's setting up a test drive soon.

[LTb1ow]

Um, its a mustang.

It there fore sucks.

[miketa95]

Yeah but it's a muscle car. She could be a civic driver

[LTb1ow]

Mustang = Muscle car? lol

[miketa95]

I didn't say it was perfect.. more muscular than her eclipse haha

[LTb1ow]

Get her to upgrade it to a whipple.

[miketa95]

hmm she's also mustang biased. Her dad has an 08 bullitt. I am the minority around here. I think it's pretty sick though, for a mustang.

[LTb1ow]

Better get working on that LT1.

[NJ Torque]

She have any like-minded friends? Heh.

[Jersyboyy]

DAMN thats a sick pretty stock little mustang, esp for a chick. Shes going to whoop ur lt1 but all over the road. Time to procharge that beast or get nitrous. You have one amazing girl their and I am pretty against mustangs.

[LTb1ow]

Oh man, now instead of two valves it has four!

Whoop de doo.

Still slow.

99 cobra motor vs. LT1 = cobra motor barely edging the LT1 out, unless the mustang driver cant drive...

[LTb1ow]

Idk if the 2003 has IRS or live axle but a 99 cobra goes a low 13 on a good day. An LT1 can go low 13s on a good day....

[miketa95]

Its not a cobra just the motor. The Gt has a live axle right? so therefore it would have that.

Mustang and F-Bodies are pony cars

And I would like to think I have the coolest girlfriend. She drives a F-Bod

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Thats a bad car...I like the 4V swap too :nod:

Im not sure about "barely edgeing out" a fixed 99 cobra w/ the right driver will smoke a LT1.

[GP99GT]

i'd rock it. should be a quick car w/ those mods.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

i'd rock it. should be a quick car w/ those mods.

Yep 12 second car for sure, she needs to ditch those 410's first for some 430-456's :nod:

No, I'm sorry. SteveR has the coolest girlfriend ever. With Teds89IROC and Rich189 close behind ;)

[deadtrend1]

your opinion is biased and uneducated. j/k

[LS1Hawk]

My girlfriend drives a Honda Accord...any American car to her is crap :lol: So I would say if she wants the Mustang by all means encourage her! Mustangs have always appealed to girls and girls look cute in them.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

How would you feel about your girls car being faster:mrgreen:...because until you get that work done it will be. btw thats a great price!.

[sweetbmxrider]

she doesn't like the f-body though because she can't see the hood.

fixed

if she isn't used to driving a rwd with torque, you might want to have her practice some before jumping in that and going. good luck though and get some more mods + tune!!

[LTb1ow]

How?

[sweetbmxrider]

well being really shallow here, i think it would need a driver mod to take a stock lt1 :moon:

[WildBillyT]

1999 Cobra motor? Isn't that the one that had the big recall?

[miketa95]

So it looks like I have the 4th coolest gf ever and The 99 was recalled because it didn't make the hp numbers it was advertised as.

Well, deadtrend is right, his gf has a high cool factor, and teds gf is awesome but has a mustang tattoo. Yours might be 5th since she still has an eclipse.

[deadtrend1]

I was only kidding Mellissa. Every guy has the coolest g/f ever.

wtf

[BonzoHansen]

wtf

Did we just learn something? :shock:
















:lol::lol::lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

sheep?

[Lt1_8U]

i know the kid selling the car haha, if his name is zack i went to school with him,

its been to a lot of whyckoff car shows. he did the motor with his friend in his garage. It sounds nice and it is def quick. he didnt beat on it at all, he liked to take care of it haha

id say your gf would def be happy with the car

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

How?

Your telling me a 4V w/ all the bolt ons and gears couldnt beat his Lt1...Its would be a slaying.

WildBillyT 1999 Cobra motor? Isn't that the one that had the big recall? Yea that was the year, but even if it didnt have the fix (which it probably does) the mods done to it pretty much took care of it.

[bandit88]

Well, deadtrend is right, his gf has a high cool factor

aww thanks ;)

[Bangin Bob]

Miketa95 she sounds like a keeper. :nod:

[91chevywt]

Thats a lot of car to drive around everyday, itll be like night and day between an eclipse and that. Everyone knows the 2 valve motors are pretty slow, but the 4 valve motors are pretty quick, it should scoot pretty nicely. It should be a little faster than the average stock 4th gen. Just make sure everything is done properly, you wouldn't want her driving around something that has a good possibility of leaving her stranded.

[GrandmasterCow]

nice looking mustang, be careful buying a car with work done to it. and who cares if its a mustang, at least it's a domestic, so ford and gm are better than imports.

[HeadlessNorseman]

I would never recomend a modded/motor swapped car as a DD for a girl. If it breaks down your not gonna get any help from a dealership, they wont touch that thing. then finding a mechanic with dohc modular v8 skills? But, it is a nice car in general. I would buy one cause the interior is nice, there much lighter than 4th gens, and have tough rear axles and trannies. My order of pref would be a 3rd gen, then a 5sp/FI fox mustang, 4th gen lt1, new edge mustang, then an ls1 4th gen at the top.

Edit: of course i own the car at the bottom of my list :(

[ta350]

I have the coolest g/f.... her name is Jill, she's always by my side, never says no when I'm in the mood, and doesn't cost me any money :D

[Squirrel]

mine is alright, but for some reason she gets mad when i hit on her sisters/friends

[DaSkinnyGuy]

that mustang is better than your average girl that you see driving a scion TC 90% of those TC's young girls drive i would say.

[miketa95]

she can handle a rwd high hp car. She has driven my car in rain, she drives her dad's bullitt all the time. She likes the v8's too, she comes to the track with me when I go, and she got the v6 eclipse because she wanted to go fast..er than your average eclipse.

[rscamaro73]

Dunno...all these girlfriend comments....

Lets get some g/f's posing on some cars to find out ;)

BTW - with the right driver that Stang would beat a stock LT1.....easily. Pony's 'open up' with the right gears (anything 4.10 or better).

Anyhows, if she wants it and wants to deal with it (and what a engine swap can mean parts/maintenance/repair-wise) then hop on it :) Definitely isn't a sloucher car....

[Jersyboyy]

my buddys 99 cobra with 373's and exhaust beat my other buddys ls1 ws6 Its def fast than a lt1. You guys dont give the cobra much credit, it is ON PAR with an LS1 car def faster than an lt1 and with those gears and bolt ons that car is a 12 second car period!

And why does it seem everyone on here acts like their are NO girls that can drive or are knowledgable about cars.
He mentioned earlier her family being big ford car people and the fact that she picked that car out means she knows her stuff to an extent, If she wants that car then that should be the car she drives DAILY.
None of us were pro race car drivers when we first started and we wouldnt get better with out learning to driver faster and faster cars shes started with en eclipse and shes working her way up, I know you guys didnt all start with fully modded ls1's right?

[79CamaroDiva]

its not everyone on here, just a few ignorant ones. Of course there are girls here that can drive and have an extensive knowledge of cars (ahem..) but some girls may want to drive fast or nice looking cars and not want to work on them or be bothered when something breaks.

If she's young, however, I wouldn't recommend a fast car as a DD for ANYONE, regardless of sex, if they're under even 19 or 20 years old. I'm not saying people from 17-20 are all bad drivers, but that's when people tend to think not only are they the best drivers in the world, they're also bulletproof.

I have never been impressed with a Mustang's stock performance (special editions and forced induction excluded). They are great looking cars, and fast as hell with light to moderate modifications. But they have always seemed to perform "OK" and don't perform better than expected stock. At the track I have seen a lot of Mustangs run and most of them are running slower than the LS1 cars. Even some of the Mach 1s and normally aspirated Cobras. Those cars run numbers that reflect their rated HP numbers. LS1 cars run better than their ratings. Constantly.

Before you go all "You are just a GM guy" on me- a good friend of mine comes from a huge Ford family (8 car fleet, 2 stangs) and I've had seat time in pretty much every car they own, and I will admit that Ford makes/made some good stuff. I even came close to buying his '91 5.0 since it was such a solid base for a buildup.

But non special edition and non FI mustangs have always been overrated in stock/relatively stock form to me. If a stock NA Cobra has 320 horsepower then why do they get their ass beat by stock LS1's at the track? And not just a loss- half second ass beatings.

This is probably a great car for her, and from what it looks like there won't be a problem. If she is happy then that's what matters! If she hangs it up, then there is a strong chance that it was too much car for her- regardless of her gender.

[HeadlessNorseman]

to defend myself, i wouldnt daily drive that car as well as not recomend it for anyone to DD, girl or not. If i built it, sure, but not somebody elses project i have had experience trying to do that and it didnt turn out well

[Stroked355Z28]

My friend Tara who is extremely gorgeous has an '02 Mustang GT Convertible Triple Black, black interior, many upgrades, car has 400 horse and she has beaten many guys, she also has a '95 Mustang GT, 5.0, white which was her 1st car and she is about to get her third mustang this summer, which will be an '09 Roush. Her dad who is one of my mechanics is a real gearhead as well. A girl that has 3 mustangs is dream. I love a girl thats goregous and into muscle cars. -Jeff.

[Squirrel]

long ass post

Billy thats true to a point, but ive had my ass handed to me multiple times in the TA and the jeep haha by close to stock 5.0's... people dont realize that having the ability to drive is the number 1 factor in a cars performance... ive seen tons of showroom stock GT's hit triple digit traps, and ive also seen ls1 cars trap in the mid 90's, its all relative

[69BirdX]

99 cobra motor is still quick. Its the same as an 03-04 mach. my buddies bone stock is runnin 13.1. Im sure a 99 motor wont do that stock but still a good motor. Not no GT. Id rather have a gf who drives a stang then a honda. Fn Musting!!!
