im curious about something...

[19TbirdSC91]

i was wondering why a lot of people on here have so much "beef" towards fox body mustangs, i mean, they are truely decent cars, they look good, sound good, and they are/can be quick, cuz i know when shane mentioned getting one, everyone like freaked out at him about having gary's car and everything, but personally i dont see a problem with the car sitting for a little while until he has enough money to do the car right, but anyway, what is it about fox mustangs that everyone doesn't like??

-im just curious btw...not trying to start any crap! lol

[ThunderDave]

I guess because there are so many of them and more people pick them to mod over a tbird. I don't have a problem with them. I used to have an 88 GT and an 86 LX before that. I wish I still had my GT and maybe I'll have another one some day.

If Shane wants a Mustang as well as having the red 92 he bought from Gary to mod later, then he should go for it.

The aftermarket is so huge for the foxbody.
I will be getting one as my next project, but a t-bird foxbody.

haha...nice...i have my fox body cougar...bleh...i actually love the cars, but there are so many people who are so biased against them i just dont understand it!

[19TbirdSC91]

*bump* as everyone says...lol

I think it's because most 'Stang guys have no idea what an SC is. They think the Mustang is the only fast Ford, so that's why we're here, to show them up :D

At least, that's what I gather. Half the fun of the SC is that it's NOT a Mustang.

EXACTLY! I believe buyin a mustang is for the lazy car enthusiast,any mommas boy can flip through the pages of mm&ff or 5.0 and make thier car fast without having any real knowledge about the car.

but I also like them because they are Fords and they do look good (when done right) and they are fast(when done right).

My fiance used to have a 88 lx convertible,yea just a 4cyl, but an easy 5.0 swap ,suspension upgrade,an flowmaster exaust and that car would be quick.

but I love the SC because it's not a mustang. In florida all I see is mustangs and every mustang owner thinks his car is the baddest car around, then u ask em something about it,and they have no clue.I would love to make the SC as fast as the mustangs just to see the look on their faces when I pop the hood and say its a V-6.

I guess its something like sibling rivalry. STANG GT VS THUNDERBIRD SC

[Ddubb]

I havent seen anybody talking down on the Fox body mustangs here, just alot of Rice bashing.
Oh well, I like the Fox bodies. :D

very true, very true...but even siblings can get along sometimes :rolleyes:

[redtbirdsc]

I think that is a big part of it.They have almost a ricer attitude "well its a mustang so it will beat anything".

[quick35th]

I think that is a big part of it.They have almost a ricer attitude "well its a mustang so it will beat anything".

That seems to be the attitude of the majority of V6 stang owners and a few V8 guys as well. I think it comes with owning a stang that gives you that sorta attitude, its like a bad disease lol. But by all means not all stang owners are stupid like that.

I happen to like the fox stangs. I almost bought one before getting my Cougar. The Stang guys DO seem to have that "tough guy" attitude MOST of the time. I have several friends around here with Mustangs, both Fox and newer ones. None of THEM guys are as narrow minded in their thinking as most others though. A couple of them would have little problems handing me my butt if we were to race. I know it and so do they. But it is the same way with the slower guys.... they know they would lose to me so they don't even TRY to talk like they are faster, other than a little trash talkin in good fun.

The ones that get me are the ones like my little bro's friend with a Pontiac Gran Prix (NON GTP) who constantly puts down my car as well as all the Stangs, simply cause they are Fords. I challenged him to a run and he said it would be a waste of his time to race a Ford.:rolleyes: So I went and got my old beater Beretta GT and handed him his ~~~, then my wife asked him if he wanted to race her in her 4door Buick... LOLOL... He said not a chance. The thing is, we were on twisty back roads not just a straight shot blast and this kid can't drive worth a darn so I think he realized that it didn't matter WHAT car he had, or I had, he was gonna lose. (I even offered to run him in my step-moms mini van:p )

As for the Fox Stangs, though... I still may get one some day. But for now, the Cougar keeps me plenty happy and DEFINATELY gives me something to spend my money on.

[19TbirdSC91]

I think that is a big part of it.They have almost a ricer attitude "well its a mustang so it will beat anything".

i think the rice attitude should consist of "i know im going to lose with my honda, so why race?"

[TwoToneThunder]

id buy one in a heartbeat but the sc is better for driving in general
how many mustangs handle bumpy roads well? last time i checked u feel like a milkshake going over bumps in a mustang

You obviously have not ridden in a mustang with IRS.

Maybe you will get to ride in a mustang equipt with an IRS rear in march ;) :D

Yeah guess i should of said some of them have that attitude.

i think the rice attitude should consist of "i know im going to lose with my honda, so why race?"
yeah it should but the one i heard not long ago was "i have a 97 civic and i know i will beat anything around so i dont bother racin"

[19TbirdSC91]

Maybe you will get to ride in a mustang equipt with an IRS rear in march ;) :D

Shane

maybe......anything can happen

[kevenj90sc]

I give the Fox body Mustangs credit for it's role in re-creating the American muscle car. If it were not for the '87 Mustang GT and the enthusiasm it generated back then, we probably wouldn't have so many awesome cars to choose from today.

Did you get a satisfactory answer to your question? ;)

[19TbirdSC91]

nope....

you haven't heard ANYTHING yet, this is really just a "secret" base for more hidden information, its way complicated to figure out, but basically someone on this website has a lil secret, and they want to reveal it soon...gonna be interesting, thats all i can say though...:rolleyes:

[Thunder427]

Duh. sccoa = Tbird site. Tbird= overshadowed by mustang. not alot of people like them here.



but yeah tracy, I have a kid who just told me his friends "GTP" is gonna take me out haha,

it was a regular grand prix and he supercharged it or something. hopefully not an M112 :eek:

but i doubt it, those guys dont know anything.

[ThunderDave]

Oh the suspense is killing me.:rolleyes: ;) :D

[DamonSlowpokeBaumann]

So what secret about who why where and when how?

Um yeah....I like my mustang because its a convertable. I like my Fox cougar because it kicks butt. And I like my Tbirds because they are good all around cars. I do need to liquidate however!

[pablon2]

When I find myself gettin' pissed at/disgusted with Fox Mustangs I just remind myself that at least it is a Ford. That makes me feel better. I then hold up a picture of me and my SC while looking into a mirror and I say, "Because my SC is good enough, fast enough, and gosh darn it, people like it!" :D

you will know with time, patience is a virtue:rolleyes: ;)

i definetly dont have a stang, but i like them, MY fox cougar is sooo SLOW, but i still love it, gets me from point A to point B with no issues, and i love my SC, but damn it....its broke down again obviously, thats alright though..i still love her...

[Blown 91 Bird]

I think it's because most 'Stang guys have no idea what an SC is. They think the Mustang is the only fast Ford, so that's why we're here, to show them up :D

At least, that's what I gather. Half the fun of the SC is that it's NOT a Mustang.

might as well have "beef" with all other car drivers too then. Hell, ive had people in regular LX Birds ask me where i got my body kit for my bird :rolleyes:

Do you know what the pace car mustangs were? How about the 7up mustangs?

[Blown 91 Bird]

but I love the SC because it's not a mustang. In florida all I see is mustangs and every mustang owner thinks his car is the baddest car around, then u ask em something about it,and they have no clue.

ha.. thats pretty funny. From somebody who was born & raised in south florida, you just live in podunk FL where nobody knows anything :p

Whats the quench distance for your bird? :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[quick35th]

Do you know what the pace car mustangs were? How about the 7up mustangs?

Yes I do. There was a '64 1/2 or was it a '65 Mustang, a '79 mustang and a '94 mustang pace cars. The 7up mustang I believe was an '90 or '91.

Shane

wasnt really directed towards you, but at least you know. Happen to know what powered the 79 pacecar? :)

[quick35th]

2.3L Turbo 4 cylinder :D

Shane

[Blown 91 Bird]

2.3L Turbo 4 cylinder :D

Shane

but what was the a/r for the T3? :p


but this just goes to show you, that few people really know about "special" model cars. There are more people in this country then you'd think that dont have a clue what a "SUPERCOUPE" is other then a t-bird with a "body kit".

Id bet most people reading this thread dont know about the 79 pacecar, or the 7up edition mustangs (green/green vert lx)..hell, even the Super Stallion (though it wasnt a production car).

mmm... the Super Stallion was a nice a$$ mustang thats for sure. I believe it was a 5.4L DOHC, it was supercharged, twin throttle bodys and would run on either gasoline or alcohol. Not sure about the power rating but I know it was up there.

What about the Boss 429 that Ford did back in like 94/95? That was a beautiful car as well.

The motor wasnt even half of what was awesome about that car. I got to see it in person at the FRPP booth at FFW Bristol a couple years ago. If i recall right, it also had a IRS wth a crazy shock/spring setup all seen from inside/trunk. It made in the upper 500's... yea, 5.4, M112, twin throttlebodies.

[ndoftyme69]

another special model car hardly anybody knows about.
the 1961 mako shark corvette came with a 427 zl-1 V-8

[Rick Mink]

I personally like the Fox body Mustangs, but I have to agree that I think most people think that they have something special just because its a mustang. I really prefer the styling and comfort of an Sc over a mustang anyday. I like that I can go to a local car show and be one of a handfull of Sc's. I like going to a national show and see thirty+ Sc's not 3000. I like having a car that is different, just like me. I like having a car that is special, just like me ( we're not talkin all back of the buss an ~~~~ here). I love the fact that I can drive a buck forty down the highway with four friends in the car and a half barrel in the trunk, upright! Try that in a fox body. Not to take anything away from the fox bodies, I've seen a few really nice pieces. I've been in more than my share of fast ones, but it really takes a lot more to impress me with one than it does a SC. I guess the fact that you say mustang and every idiot of the face of the earth know what you're talking about, but you say SC and some idoit thinks you're talking about sport center might have something to do with it.

yes, one of my favorite features of the SC...the beautiful IRS :-D some mustangs come with IRS though, like some cobra's and such:rolleyes:
