I thought about this all week.... this car is going to go with the Honda S2000 when I trade the Honda in.... might as well get them both gone....
I never heard a word other than nice car! I did see a lot of v-6's and most were getting a lot of attention.... I saw your car outside MB Speedway on the way out. I'm sorry you are bummed out..no one has a right to hurt someone's feelings..I like your car..

I think your car totally rocks. I'm sorry you got crap too. People need to be more considerate of others feelings.

Hey, I saw your car @ the speedway Wednesday and told my husband~ Look, there's Lambo!! Be proud of your car, it's beautiful!!! People that are jealous will always try to put you down. I'm sorry that you had to take so much junk and hope you still had a great trip!!!! :) Mrs. 40th Pony

Dont worry its not just you man. For every GT picking on a 6er owner there is a cobra owner picking on a GT owner. Or a modular owner picking on a pushrod, or vice-versa. I dont understand all the hating... but its out there.

Floirdagrabber got a magazine shoot and his is a 6. Don't let it sweat you man, Its a nice car that you put a lot of time and money into. Forget everyone else. Probably the same tards who even after mustang week staff drive careful and be courteous. Still made them selves look stupid when they left.

I can see where you are coming from and I can respect that. Everyone knows what an opnion is like, but if those people who were running off their mouths were raised right they would know how to keep their mouths shut. There is something out there for everyone, reguardless of what it is, what it looks like, what color it is, what it has under the hood, what model it is, etc! I too over heard many retarded comments made by others, but I managed to keep my cool and just let it go. With that being said I really could care less about what others think about what I drive, it is what I like and what I own. Where I'm from I call these people " HATER'S". All in all I really hope you had a good time. I would just take it as constructive criticisim.

I dont think its jealousy, and what Im about to say isnt meant to hurt anyones feelings, but there are 2 things about your car that invoke a few things in certain types of ppl. #1 its 6 cyl and in a lot of ppls minds anything less than an 8 is a waste in pony/muscle car. The only car I can think of that doesnt invoke that is a Grand National. Now theres 2 ways to solve that problem. Either boost it or swap in a 8. #2 would be the way it looks. The flashy paint, and lambo doors. Now to me Im one of those "to each his own" kind of guys, but that turns a lot of so called purist off. Personally I like the lambo doors, but more so on a vert than a hardtop car. I didnt look to see what yr your car is but if its a 95 or older heck Id just find an old 351 block and go from there. Especially if you own the car outright. If you dont like the paint its cheaper to paint one than buy a new one.... you shouldnt let other ppl dictate to you what you build though. Do what you want the way you want it. Its not your car for nothing.

Jus tought I would pipe in... I love Mustangs. V6, V8.. All of em... You have an awesome ride man. If someone in another Mustang is giving you a hard time cause you have a V6, then I would say they dont know the true spirit of what it means to be a proud owner of a Mustang!
Fark them!
Nice Ride Man!! Nice Ride!!

Ask any car guy over 30 what their first car was and the ones that still have it will proudly show it off.The ones that didn't (like me..1972 Charger SE 400)
only have the stories , memories and regrets for not holding on to it no matter what it was.
Also I remember while we were showing off our mustangs (either v6 or
blown v8) during the strip take-over on friday, that a couple guys in shorts, flip-flops and riding 50cc scooters kicked all ours butts!!
I saw your car all week and was impressed, if you need somebody to park next to in 2008 look me up........JP

Hey man I not saying be ashamed of the V6, but I drove a 4 cyl. in the foxbody cruise and if you never pop the hood they will never know. I go to school with a guy that has a V6 and we give him greif but its all in fun. Pull a vacuum line off and tell everybody its a 4.6 with a procharger.

That sucks because I've been reading your post and exchanging thoughts with you for about a year now and I didn't see you. I was looking forward to meeting you and checking out your car but I couldn't find you.

Everyone has different taste about cars and some people just dont have the respect to keep it to them selfs. I personally am not a fan of your car for a number of reasons, but if you like it that is all that matters. The reason I thinky you get a lot of the grief stems from the following things
-First the car is a V6, but is dressed up to seem fast(ie prostars, big back tires, exhaust)
-The lambo doors are alot of times associated with imports and is not liked by some die hard domestic guys
-To me the wheel/tire combo needs some work. The offset of the rear wheels are way off and skate the wheels way to far out(needs more backspacing)
-Lastly the paint and interior scheme is pretty wild
Like I said you shouldnt worry about what others think. If you like the way it looks then be happy and just ignore the people who are disrespectful.

Very well said T76 , while the style is not something I would build myself,
I always try to respect the effort and imagination anyone puts into their ride.
A couple people politely asked why I was trying to make my car look like a GT,
I told them that I wasn't, I was just trying to make it look like "mine".

Hey Lambo, check out stangnet.com, on the home page they have a s197 4.0 car running 10.90's w/a turbo and 75shot. Some folks just don't understand marching to the beat of a different drum. I personally like your car, I looked for it this past week, but never got to see it or meet you. Back when I was into bikes everyone gave me grief about fixing up Honda's, Triumphs, and anything non HD, but that was just fuel to the fire for me to be different. Your car is what you made it, if you want a V-8 go get one, but make sure it's what you want not what "society" dictates.

Lambo, Don't let that crap bother you. You have a nice ride . If you wanted a race car you would have bought one to start with. 32 mpg I get about 10 on my cobra.
MuscleMustang
07-30-2007, 08:58 PM
Yeah dude, everyone that See's your ride might not like EVERYTHING that's been put on the car.
Just my 2cents.
I don't like the wild paint and the interior color.
I don't like body kit neither.
If you saw my Mustang GT you'll see that it's pretty stock on the outside.
I like the stock Mustang look. But again that's just ME and people may say to me that they don't like my boring looking Mustang but all that matters is that I LOVE it and every time I see it I say THATS MY CAR! and very prod about it
Don't sweat it.
I heard a FEW rude comits about other Mustang last week.
And I tell you some people need to shut their face up becuase they are NOT the one to judge

gee's $14,000, u could buy a 97-98 cobra, 03-04 mach1. seeing that fox body cruise pictures, makes me want a fox body again. I think your cars cool. I like the way it looks. I think i would put some nice deep dish rims on there, like bullits, maybe black. i wouldnt let anyone bother u. who cars what they say. My Gt's almost stock, everyone talks shit to me, how i should put a blower on it or N.O.S. i like driving my car, so i leave it pretty much stock.

Grab some cash and come see me.....I have a idea that will make most think twice about "why buy a V-6",when you are killing them at the show and blowing their doors off on the street....errrrr track.....They will be selling their GT's to buy a 6er.....:D

07-31-2007, 10:43 PM
Lambo, there are a lot of people on here that have the right idea... I ordered my V-6 and it was delivered Dec. of '07. I love my 6... And I know what you are saying I have left the Mustang world for years due to "What have you done to your 6 lately" or "When are you going to buy a real Mustang." What they don't know is that my 6 will run very well up against a stock 5.0 Fox.. I've come back to the Mustang world lately due to getting married two years ago, and he has an '01 GT with some mods.. But you know what... That doesn't stop the Crap... Why don't we sell it and get a Cobra, Mach, or Bullitt. Man, I love our cars.. Our Ins. is a lot lower than others, and we don't have to run the $$$ Fuel... Hubby and I are able to drive our cars daily for a lot less than the higher dollar cars... Your not going to get away from this crap unless you have the Copper Saleen, or Molly Pop.... Or something that is just so out there that no one has something better. But then again you will have those that can't afford what you have making comments about how you should have saved your money and bought three Cobra's for the price of the Saleen. Like someone stated earlier... As long as people are talking about your car, they at least noticed it...
Make it yours and enjoy it.

Lambo, FYI... I help with the Reg. at the car show and judge sheets... I was AMAZED at how many V-6's were in the show... Very shocked... If you can get $14 for a '98 V-6 that is great.. But I hate to see you sell Your car, the one you have modified to be yours, because of Jerks that own Mustangs and don't have any manners.
Victor, Hey... Like I posted to Lambo, I left the Mustang world due to the V-6 crap and with the poor workmanship on my car, I just didn't want to hear all the crap.. But I am back. I still have old blue.. She would have been at MW if the A/C was working. Hubby and I were there in his Red GT, we are members of the MOB and helped with parking, judging, ect.. I kept my eyes open for you, but we were so busy. :( I was the six and a half month Pregnant one w/Staff shirt on Fri.

I have heard lots of "why did you buy a 6er" comments in the last two years since I have purchased my 04 V6 vert. I love my mustang and that is what matters. I have my reasons for owning a 6er and those that know me know why I am not driving a GT or Cobra. To each their own.
