All of my freinds make fun of it because it looks like an old man car, but hey who am i kidding, it is an old man car. Hell, i got it from my "old man". I had a pioner headunit with a pair of infinity 6X9's on the back deck. The bass hits so hard with just the 2 speakers it raddles the rear view mirror. Also i have a pair of infinity 5 1/2 inch speakers in the front kick panel.
The car is made to cruise. Its got a 250 Cubic inch I6 that isn't that much in the horse power department but is a major torque monster. I can spin the tires if its slightly damp outside. The standing joke is my car will go to 0-45 in about 5 seconds if i floor it. But after that it's a gutless peice of shit untill i hit 65MPH. The spedo only goes to 85 but ive goten it to go farther to what i would think would be around 95-100MPH. Remember kids drive safe and sane, only speed when the coast is clear and there are no 5-0 around.

(update 6-20-06) well i have a new custom Exhaust system. Basicly where the catalyic converter bolts onto the exhaust manifold downpipe, a 2 1/2 exhaust goes stright down to a high flow flowmaster race muffler then dumps down right infront of the axle.

Not a bad car for less than $1250 in it. $650 for the car and another $600 on the stereo.

Hey man, thanks for the comments! I actually paid $4800 for my car when it was stock. You can find deals on the fox stangs if you look. Check out the classifieds on stangnet.com and thecorral.net forums, there are some really sick cars for decent prices.
