I've been around here for the most part for 16i years. I enjoy reading posts mostly vs posting and while I do not own a Porsche any more (also sold the 'Stang!) I still come back to this forum as enjoyment/small break in my day.

You guys complaining... ever heard the saying "if you do not have anything good to say, say nothing at all?"

As far as I am concerned you're looking more the knob than you think Paul is.

What's with that? Can you order a loud exhaust from the factory?

What is worse, a post you don't like to see, or five replies to it complaining that also keep bumping it?

The way people reply to complain on a message board where a reply keeps a topic hot baffles me. If you don't want to see it, don't reply, replying makes it multiply.

Personally I enjoy Paul's stories, he had a cool Porsche, he now has a cool Mustang.

I didn't sell my Porsche's to get my V8, but I sure drive the V8 more.

Wow, you are confused.

Do you know what Month we're in?

Are you dizzy?

Is it because of the pain? ...your massive butt-hurt?

Some models offer a dual exhaust feature...not just twin pipes but a feature of a dash switch "for the track":) that opens things up more.

That said, there are tons of aftermarket exhausts out there for Mustangs. I suspect that's probably what you're hearing.

Michael, you'd be welcome on IMBOC, the Bullitt Mustang board, anytime. Some L.O. guys there, also a Canadian who posts of tracking his 350GTR. Poor guy...his original tires were good for only 500 miles. ;)

THIS! How hypocritical is it to to post complaining about.... wait for it... complaining!

For heavens sake we are car guys and gals, we all love cars... American, German, Japanese, Italian, English, Korean (that one is for me :p) 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 cylinders... it is all good.

So is that a Hundai ? I'm liking the new Camaro and the Mustang.

Uhmm...

you do realize that you are now complaining about those who complain about complaining.

Right?

Just an observation. :cool:

Meh, I think we're being pretty gentle with him. Trolls are usually dealt with quite harshly in most forums. Cool GT350 BTW :)

I absolutely love what they did with the details on this newest Camaro, a really sharp aggressive car. I would say it is Lamborghini like. The exterior styling now has a lot of appeal.

I was looking for the modern comforts of a current gen 911 without actually getting another Porsche. I ended up with a car that the brand mascot is at risked of being grabbed by the president.

The current gen 911 is a better car, but I have more trust in the kitty's reliability given Porsche's 1999+ history has a lot of grenades.

Very pretty...I like the lines of both the Jag and Aston Martin...long hoods are kind to the eyes. Have been ever since the E Jag caused a stir over 1/2 century ago. I still remember Henry Manny, writing of the E jag in R&T. Called it "The greatest crumpet collector".

ckelly78z 12-10-2017 10:39 AM

This is the OFF TOPIC forum, I enjoy talking about everything from other brands/models of cars, to retirement, to cats/dogs, to pool problems, and other real life situations.

To those of you who want only Porsche 911 talk, there is a forum for that, I suggest staying there.

Yes, I have a Porsche, and a Mustang, love them both.

At this point in time, there are 3,742 variations of the new Mustang, and counting...
How many more are needed?

It is marvelous technology...and nobody should complain about 25+mpg/gobs of gojuice/good looks/good price/homerun...But I would like to order mine in a Focus RS please.

If I were shopping Mustang/Camero I would opt for the 300HP V6.

But then again all a matter of taste, I'm sure many here lust after the 800HP tire destroyers that are now available.

When I drive around Charlotte, I really want more horse power, helps me avoid clusters and bad situations to be able to snap from driving peacefully in the slow lane at 55, to whatever the left lane is doing in less than two seconds.

Driving out in the country, my 290HP is all I need/want. A 45MPH speed limit, and a single lane to drive in doesn't give a lot of need for power.

It is really a matter of where and how you drive. I like to drive easy, leave space, maintain momentum, and stay to the right unless passing. When I'm on a busy multi lane road and someone cuts in front in my space and hits the brakes to make a turn, without horse power I'm stuck, with horse power I can blast into the space they just left and reach the speed of that lane.

^ Good point on the use of horsepower. It's not all about drag racing.

Hmmm, IF they build an '18 Bullitt, maybe I should give it a serious peek, despite my current one having only 27,000 on the odo.

I still have the 928, but I find I would maybe like something a little more carefree. It's still sweet to drive though. I'm thinking your Bullit is right around the sweet spot.

Tervuren 12-10-2017 03:22 PM

I'm not sure just how many years Jaguar offered it, but you could get the same engine spun interior trim for the XK as the Bullitt Mustang.

It'd be fun to get a British Racing Green XK with the spun aluminum interior and custom made torque thrust wheels in the correct bolt pattern and offset and have a bullitt Jaguar.

Damn..that does look familiar! Yep, a Bullitt Mustang exclusive...You know, that Jag might look pretty spiffy with torque thrust of even minilites! :)

On complaints...those cup holders are worthless for holding cups if you have a manual. All Bullitt Mustangs were built with a manual. Great for holding my sunglasses..also, the billitt aluminum shift knob looks cool, but can be problematic on freezing cold or blistering hot days. I can't blame those who switched to a round plastic Hurst shifter style. Thinking back to my old '65 Goat...probably the best shifter knob of any car I had. The Hurst round ball...it felt just right.
