It's a good thing there was visual because he said to depress the clutch and the accelerator @ 1:10.

What makes you assume 944 owners don't know how to drive stick? Hell I'd bet more 944s came with sticks than those candy assed mustangs....

Lighten up, Sidney...the thread starting post was a joke...that accomplished it's purpose. Still, isn't a Bullitt Mustang stock exhaust sounding cool?

I find the "tradition" card being played by a kid still in his teens amusing....
Still, The past was then, and this is today...

I wouldn't call the current Mustang GT's performance against the E90 M3 an ass woopin'. But the Mustang is certainly a helluvalot a' bang for the buck. But I'll take the sound of 8400 rpm trough 8 ITB's among other things any day.

You give me that GT and a few grand for track tires and wheels and that M3 would be lookin' at Rustang tail lights all day long. I could take the rest of the dough I saved on not buying a BMW and go buy a well set up 944, just to piss Paul off.

It takes $3500 to get all the bits required to make a stock 944 a well set up 944.....

Properly sorted? Probably 5-6k.... If I had to sell mine I might get 6-6.5k out of it... But I have tickets for about 3500 of work this year alone... Fresh paint in '08, etc, etc....
