    Only 9 ponies from a K&N intake and some fancy exhaust? That sounds conservative. A V8 mustang makes 315 hp; a 9 hp bump is less than 3%.

    Is Ford's stock intake and exhaust just that good, or is the 9 hp number wrong? #mustang

    @pinkshinyalan: I think it's that good. The intake on the 2010 models is the Ford Racing Performance Products air intake previously only available on the Bullitt and frequently purchased as an aftermarket replacement itself for 2009 and older cars (tho the C&L or the JLT intake in use with the SCT tuner seem to be the preferred combo meal). The stock exhaust is pretty free flowing, and most only replace it for the sound; hp gains from changing the exhaust is like three horsepower. But sound matters too ;) #mustang

    @PotbellyJoe - As seen on I-287:
    Alright, now see this? This is a four-way road, okay? And dead in the center is a crisp, new, hundred dollar bill. Now, at the end of each of these streets are four vehicles, okay? You following?

    Good. Over here, we have a non-stickered, dealer installed, with factory warranty intact Mustang drifter. Down here, we have a stickered to all hell poorly accessorized Asian import drifter. Over here, we got Santa’s sleigh, and up here the Mach5. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first?

    This is a serious exercise. It's like an SAT question. Which one is going to get to the hundred dollar bill first the non-stickered drifter, the stickered drifter, Santa’s sleigh, or the Mach5? #mustang

    @Van Sarockin, rogue trebuchet: Yes, there are certainly worse (and less cost-effective) upgrades to be had. You know, like adding carbon fiber parts to a car that wasn't designed around carbon fiber structural bits. Fiberglass is cheaper and lighter, but less bling, I guess. #mustang

    Holy crap. This is just like my first car. Mine only had 28,000 miles on it in 1996 when it was put to rest by Grandma running the red light and slamming into me at 45mph.
    I loved several things about this car.
    1:The horn was a push button on the end of the indicator switch.
    2: To open the vents there were pull levers on each side of the cab- I called them my 'chutes.
    3: It burned so much oil my school parking lot never had problems with mesequitos and oil changes were optional b/c of rate of exchange.
    4: The spoiler made a great place to sit and make out with whatever girl I was dating at the time. (However one girl did burn a perfect circle in her leg on the exhuast pipe when she got down.)

    On one hand, this is not a bad price for something very low-mileage, clean, and rather unique in that respect... on the other hand, for the same amount of money, you could easily find any handfuls of early-to-mid 2000's reasonably-mileaged 325i's that would: a.) Be MUCH more fun to hoon; b.) Have actual real leather seats & interior; c.) Would last just as long if not longer after purchase than this particular piece of unfortunate Americrap, and; d.) have much better-sounding stereos.

    Just sayin'.

    Bah. Those who suspect odometer rollover need to look at the evidence and apply Occam's Razor. Is it more likely that some crazy guy bought this car 25 years ago and put it into a bubble, or that Ford built a car in 1985 capable of looking this good after 100,000 miles?

    Wow, that car is Like a Virgin. Granted, if someone pulls up next to you in a new Mustang V6 and says, "Take on Me," you should probably Shout, "No thanks!" But cruising is just like Heaven, and it will make your gal pal Crazy for You. Hell, she'll probably be really sad Everytime You Go Away, but that's The Power of Love.

    @Tomsk mourns the Jezebanned: I Feel For You, but this guy wants Money For Nothing. The owner may think this Angel is from Heaven, but he better Cool It Now because he’s Out Of Touch. I mean, Who’s Zoomin’ Who here? Does he think that he’s such a Smooth Operator that he can put on a Raspberry Beret and make us fall Head Over Heals with a trip down Sentimental Street? This car is far past its Glory Days. I work the Nightshift and for that kind of cash, I could enjoy One Night In Bangkok that would be a veritable Sea Of Love All Through The Night. Maybe even some Jungle Love.
    Then Suddenly, I realize The Search Is Over. This car is Born In The USA and she is Solid. Once I have her, I’ll cruise down the Freeway Of Love and pick up some California Girls. I’d certainly be Walking On Sunshine then. Freedom!
