 Mustangs go... they're not worth getting all upset about!

Chris,

Okay, I sounded like a young punk looking to pick a fight.  When conditions

are right (read SAFE) I sometimes give in.  The turbo is new and is just sooo

amazing!  I also want proof that my money was well spent.  I don't think

anyone is upset, though.  



IMHO, the 5.0 'Stang has earned the rep. of "biggest bang for the buck."  They

are so common that they have become a good "yardstick" for measuring

acceleration.  If someone says their car is as fast as a Mustang, most of us

know how fast that is.  If someone told me that their car was as quick as a

Toyota Supra or an Eagle Talon, I would not really know how fast that was.  



Don't get me wrong, I did not install the turbo to beat Mustangs in a drag

racing, it just happens to be one of the positive side effects!
