Owning a mustang II is no funnier than owning a Lebaron we both live in Utah I wouldn't mind running against you in my II. Ford only put the 302 from 75-78 and the v8's all had the same amount of hp 139 even the king cobra's and the regular cobras were the same only difference between the cars was that the king had a huge decal of a snake and it had a huge air dam on the fron of the car but the engines were all the same.
2.3L Four-Cylinder 92hp @ 5,000rpm
2.8L V-6 103hp @ 4,400rpm
5.0L V-8 139hp @ 4,000rpm

course my 302 isn't near stock.

Yeah those mustangs are sweet. Why does everybody hate them??? Way better than those 80's Fox mustangs. My dad had a 78 King cobra and a 77 cobra II. Both black=awsome. I want one. I've seen one with a 429 shoe-horned into it with a blower stickin out the hood. I would be proud to drive a Mustang II.

Most probably don't like them just because they were a little different. Those differences are probably why you like them. It's just like with any other car. Everyone's got opinions on what looks good, apples or oranges...

Ah, the beauty of racing a Honda.... You have time to notice when you've hit 35 mph in a race unlike V8 powered American muscle that blasts by 35 so quickly you miss the moment. Ah, treasured moments..

because we have those short gear ratios that domestic racers would kill for, and 35 happens to be one of my shift points.

Oh, sorry. Since you're racing a Honda I expected you'd have a 5" monster tach on your dash with a shift light big enough to blind those behind you in traffic or even yourself if the glare hit the Mr-T-gold-chain-starter-kit you're surely wearing. It's quite amusing when I hear 2 hondas going at it from the next intersection. It sounds like 2 F1 cars launching and rocketing through the gears, but then there is the awkward toe-tapping wait for the cars that sound as if they should have blown by long ago. Suddenly they appear, sounding like a swarm of bees on crack, but barely outpacing a parade cadence. Your expecting to have to lock-your-eyes-on to the action as it blows by only to be disappointed by two former econoboxes going by so slowly you're embarrassed for them.
BTW-I have 6-gears spaced just fine, thank you!

no i have a stock tach and no shift light and i believe is was the rednecks that liked mr t, and since we are all stereotyping here i guess that would classify you as a redneck therefore you make the reference to mr t, instead on the typical uncels ben, or rice burner said from more higher class yanktanks(credit to whoever said ir first), so you can now just go along driving your iroc z and don't forget to trim up your 'so-low' before you go pick up yor sister for your 2nd date. since that's what rednecks look like and do, well the stereotypical way.:finger:


p.s. gold is outdated, i prefer platinum and i might be goin down to miami here in a few weeks to pick up something and i could be runnin through TB. care to put up or shut up about how hondas are slow if i go down there???

Right buddy, I'm sure your 130 HP car can run 13's. Can you even run 13's with nitrous???
Anyway, I think my 12 second truck owns both of U!!!
