I remember my first car a few years ago, a 94 seville northstar. You could get 3.73 gears and a 300 hp screamer of a v8 stock. Any mustang owner I ran into wasnt much of a match stock for that car which was pretty light and had a pretty stiff suspension in its first and maybe second year of production.

Also people brag about honda and their great little motors and I do love my new black si more than any mustang (camaro is another story) but the most powerful and reliable 4 cylinder I've driven for an extended period of time was an olds quad 4.

They probably shouldnt have had the hurst name attached but when your in the 80's making a dohc inline 4 at 2.4 liters with descent torque and pushing 200 horsepower you must have been doing something right. My dads favorite motor of all time and hes worked on everything from boxer engines to building a 500plus cubic inch powered fwd olds tornado. Didnt use a drop of oil either and I hammered that thing all the time when I first got my liscence. Of course it got wrecked by a dumbass caltrans worker with not enough insurance to cover the chain reaction she caused in her brand new ford fiesta though.

Sorry for the long post just wanted throw in some different cars which are somewhat common in my area but that nobody really mentions much.

And is there anybody who cant stand v6 mustangs or is it just me?
