Surely, you must realize that Ford is taking a piss at Bullit buyers...

OPTIONAL HID headlights.... wow :rolleyes:

Lowered by a whopping 6mm.... wow :rolleyes:

Shocks and struts retuned for bounding down Taylor street in SF.... wow :rolleyes:
(seriously, they are kidding, right?)

Black is ALSO available.... wow :rolleyes: (Awesome, Osama is dead AND black is available... Life does not get any better than this...)

A different color for the wheels... man, these guys don't know how to stop .... wow :rolleyes:

All this AND painted calipers to boot!! .... wow :rolleyes:

And they leave the Ford badge off... The only option that makes any sense.....

I will confess that some under the car detailing happened...but 20 minutes to change & rotate? Uh, I like to let the oil drain a LOT longer than that...

Keep bringing it on guys...I'm laughing my donkey off. :D

You put your old car on a pedestal, no one else did, it really looks like you are trying to do the same. I think they call it trolling.

I believe that was the result of extensive wind tunnel testing.

The blue oval is a big drag....but then, so are some Bullitt owners. :)

The great Hugo has finally been suckered. I have seen worse cars than the new generation Mustangs. I expect that they are fun. You know, fun.

Did you decide as a kid that you were never going to have friends, so you might as well make everyone an enemy and pretend it was your choice ? Well, it is not too late to change your ways. You could actually have friends here.

But you would have to try.

Why, if the oil is warm , like if you have just driven the car..
It will come out there like greased lightening.
Those few straggler drops of oil in there... really won't make the difference.
It's a moot point considering the size of a 911's oil system and the different pockets that will always remain..

Unless you put the car on a rotating jig and shake it around a bit, you'll never get all those last drops out anyway.
There will be 5 cc in that pocket, 6 cc in the other, bit more in the popes, the pomp, the galleries...

I can envision you sitting there... cheering on the car.. common boy, another drop, you can DO IT !!! GIIVE ME ONE MORE DIRTY DROP OF OIL !!!!

For what... 10 cc worth of drops? or at most, less then 5% of the total oil remaining in the system?


Hilarious.

Oh, and why do you think they can do an oil change so fast on the stang?
I'll tell you.. Because they probably do not drain the oil, they suck it out through the filler. You really do not wanna know how much oil remains in the block with that method,the amount of oil that doesn't even get's changed.. You really should do your oil change yourself again, if it matters that much to you.
But you apparently don't care, you sit there in the waiting room with your coffee and magazine, feeling happy about yourself, while the a trainee tech get's given the job of changing the oil on your Precious Stang.. And yes, a n00b worked on your car, cause the experienced tech can't be arsed to do a lowly oil change... And i can't blame him , there's no challenge to it... open filler, insert sucker, suck, add oil, close filler cap.



I wonder how much time you'll need to do it on the Stang.. Not sure how much time you wanna spend cheering for more drops to come out...It's a difficult thing to predict and plan for...:rolleyes:

I agree. Someone was taking the piss with those "bullit points".

But I quite like the car though.

My DD, well my only running car, is a Ford Focus. I sure wish my dealer experience was anything close to yours. They couldn't fix a popped chain on a bicycle. Had my car in for warranty work 3 times, and it still has the same problem over and over again with the added bonus of now being out of alignment.

Now that I am out of warranty my car will never see the dealer again, even for the free state inspection.

I dunno about pedestals...but when you don't advertise, yet get phone calls offering 6 figures for a car over 3 decades old, ya kinda know others want to own the car. :rolleyes:

Stijn? Yes, I drained the oil hot...My time spent? It also took time to move Cindy's car out of the garage, lay down cardboard for drips, get the 911 on the stands, pull the wheels, run it until oil got to 180 on the gauge, etc. I included that time as well. If I only count the time of removing the drain plugs, R&R the fliter, replace filter, replace drain plugs with new crush washers, pour in new oil? Yeah, 20 minutes.


And the Mustang? It's only a Ford, easily replaced, hardly "precious" to me...and that's the beauty of it! I got damned tired of fretting over the irreplaceable...a never wrecked or repainted '72 S.

Also, if you think only the highly skilled technicians do the oil changes at Porsche dealerships, you're mistaken. Yep, Porsche dealers use the young trainee types, just like Ford dealers use. That doesn't mean they don't know what they are doing, though...oil changes are pretty simple, really. Suck the old oil out through the filler? That would be quite a trick...with all the overhead cam stuff to work through. Maybe you meant the dipstick tube?

Oh...a tip for those who do change oil on their conventional iron. If you have the time, let it all drip overnight. Replace the plug & filter the next morning, when everything is cool and easy...

It really must gall some of you...all these buyers of Mustang among those who post here...Kurt merely the latest. From a Boss 302 to my low on the pecking order Bullitt.

What can I say...Mustang is one hell of a bang for the buck. But rest easy, Porsche will continue to have a HUGE edge in snob appeal.

I understand now that you are probably better off without the 911. Cause you obviously didn't know how to enjoy the darn thing properly.

See. the fun way of doing things (and better for the engine), would be to First drive the car, that's what it is for, that's why you bought it.
And when you DROVE the engine to the right temp, THEN you jack it up and change the oil

Jacking it up, pulling the wheels and then running the engine to temp is just trolling the engine... just like you're trolling the Porsche board with yer Stank.

I hope that the car is enjoyed better by it's current owner.

Driving it made it difficult to get the oil to temp...that '72 front radiator cooler, you know. Fear not for me, I had my good times with the old 911S. Just not so much the last few years, as it's value increased.

BTW, be thankful not many Mustangs where you live...a good one would embarrass you...Does it anger P-car people that Detroit is finally catching on?

Man, big clunkers like that , embarrassing me and my Bimforce 1?
You're a funny guy.

Stangs don't go fast around here, not when gasoline costs 8.65 dollar per gallon.
They mostly idle around on the right lane on the highway, at 90kph being overtaken by trucks.
While i'm crusing at 160 on the left.

None of these over there yet? They may have ugly graphics, like a GT3, but they are quite fast. Beware...they are faster around Laguna Seca than the BMW M3...160 clicks...Wow! That's amost 100 MPH! Amazing...not. That's right lane speed for stretches of the Autobahn. Better keep you eyes in the mirror.

No, lots of people put his car on a pedestal. I also like the fact that Paul left a paint scrape on the car - to show some history -- that it was driven.

No problem with this other green car either (das Bullet) - but don't claim that it is more than it is, Paul.

I think paul misses knowing the he has something special, something that others lust after. So he is trying to build up the bullit as something special, but it won't work. Hence his anger...

I Luv that SUV.

I'd rather be towed in a Yugo than drive a Mustang.

Old bold fat guys that can't afford a Vette and are trying to hold on to their youth through Propecia and Viagra drive Mustangs. No secret there.

I don't think the issue is that Paul has a Mustang. I'm sure they're great cars, and they do appeal to a certain demographic. The issue is Paul's constant baiting/trolling of the virtues of his Mustang, on a Porsche BBS. When people do become tired of his old man musings, he immediately calls them out as Porsche snobs. I mean, what's the point? How long are you guys going to put up with being called snobs? I find it very fascinating :)

What part of this didn't you understand, Sid? From a post above:

"And the Mustang? It's only a Ford, easily replaced, hardly "precious" to me...and that's the beauty of it! I got damned tired of fretting over the irreplaceable...a never wrecked or repainted '72 S. "

Please re-read the opening post...the thread that caused me to make the post, to begin this? IT was redundant, boringly so.

Then why do keep waiving it everywhere, telling us how "special" it is.
