One thing to note is that Modshack has already moved on to his 61st (I think) car. He's in a new GTI now.

Edit: Also wanted to add that I can tell the difference between the guys that are just joking and the ones that are serious. There are only a couple that are actually serious.

So true. Funniest part is at least one of the true haters will turn around and pm me for z help...next time I'm explaining wheel offset wrong:roflpuke2:

I like to give them a hard time, but it's all in good fun. They're honestly the guys I'm learn the most stuff from on here.

Guys like you and shado are obviously just kidding. It's funny for the most part:icon17:

I do whatever I can to extend an olive branch, so if some d-bag needs help and I can help him I usually will do it. Maybe it will help sway their opinions in the right direction. But probably not. :rofl2:

I do run jokes into the ground, so I'm sure it can grate on you guys. But inside, we're all car guys, and we can all respect each other's rides, even if that's not the car for us.

I've always tried to help. The guy in question spammed me with about 400 pm's/emails just saying "mustangs suck"...his technical question got "lost"

Exactly. I mean, do I need to be liked? Absolutely not. I like to be liked. I enjoy being liked. I have to be liked. But it's not like this, compulsive, need, to be liked. Like my need to be praised.

Fine, I'm an attn whore. :rofl2:

wow seriously?

Yeah I stick around because I enjoyed this forum the most. Plus I get info from Steve and Dan, who were former Z owners and now 5.0 owners just like me :)

So yeah guys, I am debating where to spend my $$$ next. Looks or function?

Looks: GT/CS fascia, with Boss splitter
(Steve, carpartsestore doesn't have those anymore :()

Function: MGW shifter

Both options are for ~400 bucks.

I will go back and forth on these option for a LONG time, just like Dan does with his exhaust... mwaaaahaaahaaaaaa :D

So, there has been a lot of talk recently about banning all of the 5.owners from the site. As most of you know, my second account (third acct really) is a mod account. So I've been thinking about this very seriously lately. I've come up with the following risk benefit analysis of banning all Mustang owners.

Benefits

Getting rid of all Mustangs would return this site to the heady days when the 370z was the best performance buy for the money (other than GenCoupes and M3's). We could pretend Mustangs don't exist.
We can talk all the smack we like about stangs. Bench racers and rag statisticians will love the opportunity to talk about how Stangs are "made for straights, but can't handle" and have "ancient SRA tech".
There would be no more condescension, because as we know, all 370z owners get along and never fight amongst themselves.
The site would be prettier and better balanced

Risks

Mustang owners are great cuddlers. We would miss spooning with them in the early morning dew.
Because Race Car
5.0 liters of American "cause I told you so"
We would lose the perspective of owners of performance cars with decent pickup and a Front engine, Rear wheel drive layout.
The Z needs to look pretty parked next to something.

I say we let them stick around. :tiphat:

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

I say we ban them all :|

I say forgo the shifter for now... see how you like the stock one over time and ask the transmission breaks in.

I'd consider an intake + tune if you aren't opposed to it. Hard to argue with +30-40 whp.

Ya, I really see no need for a shifter personally

The Mustang owners, at least in this thread, are harmless. Red & m4a1 are great contributors with lots of knowledge. As Ive said before its nice to have some guys around that drive something different, esp the Mustang, one of our main competetors. Just because its performance is on par if not slightly better in some ways, its not reason to get all butt hurt about and ban you guys. I know I can come off as a hater but Im really not. Its just healthy competition.
