Cold shower needed after viewing. 8) (http://video.funfordevents.com/FFW/2004/Dallas/wrapup.wmv)
There are even several clips in here that we (turbomustangs.com) submited. hehe :)
Hope you guys like it.
Edit: Oh yeah, how funny was the black dude in the burn out box! haha

Ahh, I love Mustangs... great video.
:aok

I wish there some 05 GTs there. I want one!
Anyone know what the new ones do in the 1/4 mile stock.

the 05 came, or is coming out too late for the Fun Ford Weekend stuff. Basicly its over. Or it is over.
Its nothing special really. Mid to high 13's. I forget who ran it, but a magazine took one to the track and went 13.6 at 99mph. Pretty crapy. Considering the 04s' Stock GT's running consistant low 13s all day long.
They have gotten the gearing very wrong with the 05's... In the autos and that has got its trap speeds way down. The motor is in a bad spot when it hits the traps. Thats for autos tho. Sticks are a different story have a much larger variable (driver). If the driver sucks, so will the times. But I haven't seen any results from a 5spd 05 GT yet. 5spds can laucher harder than a stock auto car... If it can get hocked up. So you can expect its times to be a little better due to faster 60ft times.
Spring is, well its coming. :)
I've only seen one 05 going down the road here and I wanted to ram it. Ugliest thing on the road and whats worse is its wearing a mustang badge. Thats just IMO. :)

Am I going blind, or did I just miss it???
Where's the SHO!?!?!!
How can you have a Ford Fun Weekend without an SHO!?!?!?!

mustangs = teh ugly :) http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=965875
I gotta admit, I do like the new mustang styling, but the new performance model vette is looking awesome.

Vetts are over priced cobras. At the track we piss on them all day and night. Even the Z06's arent anything special. They have alot of power, but if you hook it up, get ready to replace half shafts. For the price, they just aren't worth it. Not for a street/strip car. Besides I HATE them with a passion. Ugly, they sound like crap, and you feel like your laying on the ground when driving the dam thing.
A vett, and the guys who drive them always reminded me of sleezey, old men, with mustaches, who stare at young girls.
Besides, with Mustangs, I can build one for half the price of a vett, piss all over them and still have money left over to take his girl out who likes me now because my car is faster. AND sounds better. 8)
-
gonna have to disagree with you about Vettes not being worth it. $ for $ a stock Z06 is the best bang for the buck. I wasnt a huge fan of the C5 styling but I do like the C6, and with at least 500hp, its gonna rock.
Please dont use the ricer "I could buy a (insert cheap car) and do it up for half the price and it would go faster blah blah" argument, cause at the end of the day, yer still driving a stang, which I think are butt (2005 model excluded, nice styling work Ford). It is however, a good time to be a car guy, no matter what your poison.

Hey Streetstang, you're so manly with all these hot cars. We'd like you to come do an aftershave commercial for us - when you're old enough to shave. :D:lol

Streetstang...
you left out the vette guys chick also secretly liking dudes with mullets...

Comparing a Vette to a lowly Stang is almost laughable .

LOL, Chips?
Maybe for a honda terdlet. Vetts are nice. If you like to waste your money on a name. Because your paying alot of money for a Corvette Tag. Bang for buck, a mustang will always be faster. Always. And I think this is where you "car" namely they vett lovers, aren't following me here. Build for build, dollar for dollar, a mustang will always cost less to build because in the vett world you are going to pay more for everything you buy than I will. Much more.
And what fun would it be for a Mustang guy to agree with a Vett guy? Let alone not break his balls for all the money he spent. :D
LOL beetle. You try so hard. And honestly its so cute. But I have to tell ya. I really never liked ya brits. So we could never be what you want us to be. :)

Read in a magazine 13.3@104 w/ 1.86 60' on a stock 05 GT 5spd. My first thought, that's LS1 territory. Too bad they quit making SS's. I'd love to see what they did to compete with an '03/4 Cobra.
-
No matter what car, Fords still make me vomit. Especially where I live where every ex-football player who graduated high school 5 years ago and still works at a pizza place still drives a POS beat up Mustang 5.0 while Daddys girls drive the nice and brand new Mustangs and beat them up.

I have been racing mustangs, and many other Ford products as well. In a game that has been getting Hi reviews ever since its release, in fact I traded in my yak for a set of online keys to my virtual race world
The game is Toca Race Driver 2, $30.00 american, comes with free unlimited server access by Gamespy. I race under the handle Rollin22"Pirrelli (cause I do) Im not great, but I have alot of fun. Got the Logitech "Momo" steering wheel for $99.00 american. rock solid thru 1st month.
the game must be sponsored in some way by ford, because so many of the cars are fords or ford owned companies(Range rovers, Jags, Cobras). But even a diehard GM guy like myself can appreciate the excellent gameplay, and the free server host. Plus there are other cars im not certain are Ford owned, like Nissan skylines, Subaru WRXs, Mitsubishi Evos and many more.
If you like racing, its well worth it.

And there is definitely not anything more hilarious than watching some l`il yup wannabe sitting atop of a dayglo ricer in what appears to be some sort of evil torture position, looking like Richard Simmons on the way to a workout down at Pansies R Us with the little meltdown magnet going DIIIIIINNNggggggg DiiiiiiiiNNNgggggg DiiiiiiiiNNNNGGG DIIIIiiiiiiiinnnnngggggg..... .....SPLAT.
Last year me and The Beast errrrrrrrr I mean my wife were tooling down the street when I heard that most annoying ding ding ding sound. I looked in the rearview ad saw Kamikazee Jr fast approaching on his dayglow steed. He whooped into the left lane, barely cleared us, then started back to the right lane. Wasn`t but one prob. Half way in lane transition this mental midget decided it would be cool to grab another dingster ratio . She broke loose and it was a most beautiful site. Ricer end over end with shiny dayglow pieces scattering like china at a rodeo during bull riding.
I got the now broken ankled dingmaster out of the street, borrowed a cardboard box from a station owner and collected the shiny little pieces for him.
I shared a few thoughts with him on pride, history and self destruction.
I saw him last week on a Springer along with a somewhat top heavy L`il thing on the back.
Nothing like showing a youngster the error of their ways and instilling a little self pride in them.
Barnett would have been very proud of the way that T looked on the passenger. :D
-
baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha Jackal lol. I think I might buy another one posibly. Talking about riding really makes me want one again. Richard simons. bahahahah.
Thats why I stuck with the 750. I can't imagine, what riding a hyabusa would be like. I did ride a 1000, (gxsr's ofcourse.) I liked it better than the 750 but the shrecker was just too tempting to give it more gas! lol faster faster!
There is a huge bike show near me that goes on every sunday, from the spring, till the end of summer or half way into fall. I made friends there with some guys and got talking about his Harley Soft tail. Sounds kinda kinky dont it? Anyways, he hated ricers, he told me that I should take his bike when we went out, and he would take mine, so I would understand why ricers suck. At first I didnt want to, because his bike was worth probaby 2 maybe 3 times more than mine lol. I only paid 6k for mine. Anyways, I road it up and down this side street a few times then got comforatble with it. So i came back and said, Lets go! haha. We had some hotdogs for lunch, got mounted up, and went for a ride. Him and his buddies, and mine and mine lol. Maybe 10 or 12 ricers with 6 big ol harley dudes mixxed in. lol Somewhere I have pictures of this. Anyways, to make a long story short, that guys Harley Soft tail felt like I was riding an EZ chair down the highway. And it wasn't as slow as I had thought. Still, I know it couldnt sit up on 1 for a mile or so. hehe, but it was nice.
But I saw a picture of me on it, lol... And it just didnt look right. I needed about 50 or 60 extra pounds, in the gut area, a huge long grey beard, a leather vest with some skull pins lol... And maybe two or three more tattoos. Oh yeah, and a fat girlfriend lol. :D

Going really fast in a straight line isn't racing.

If a car runs low 13's on street tires then the difference between 14's and 13's is all driver and/or track. Getting out of the 14's on street tires in a 13 sec car requires a good track. If you haven't driven at a quarter mile track before you will be shocked at how slippery it is.
A vette is a very capable car. A mustang is a very good deal. rice burners are a good deal and... as jakal pointed out.... pretty darn embarassing... they are disco shoes and shirts of today... a really really really ugly interpretation of the whole cafe racer trend that started in the 60's
I went to the Harley shop with my brother to get a oil pump part for his early shovel... the "parts" counter was a glass case of jewlery ... It was hidden back in a far corner of the huge unisex gucci clothing wharehouse that was the main feature of this "largest Harley shop in Northern Ca,"
and ....we were told the parts were "obsolete". The people that ride Harleys now are the people who were afraid of us when men rode Harleys.
Harleys are more dependable and live longer and are faster.. and.... women can ride em now. I would say that they are less than they were tho.
I am gonna market a fake kick starter for the new bikes... it will have the starter button at the bottom of the kick stroke so all these posers can look even more cool.

As far as adding weight you might want to think about going for the *** 1st. I think that`s where ya might be a little lightweight. :rofl
-
Harleys are more dependable and live longer and are faster..
Ummm I'm not sure i understand what you mean when you say faster...?
My bike was breaking into the high 10s' on a hellishly hot summer day. The only harleys I've seen that were that fast, were ones that where so heavily modified, you could just about tell it was sitll a harley. I'm really not a bike guy at heart. Which is why I sold it. It was keep the bike and sell my mustangs or keep the cars and sell the death trap. If I didnt have all the money and work, along with the good memories in the cars, I might have kept the bike.
Still, mustangs own Vetts 9 out of ten times at the track. :D
-
new Harleys are faster than an old panhead. What is so hard to understand? Women didn't ride old panheads... they couldn't kick em over and no two Harleys were the same.
I would also say that "track" is pretty nebulous.... the Texas mile for instance saw no mustangs going 200 mph but serveral vetts... Any track with corners on it is going to be a pretty good vett track.
I like mustangs...even owned a few but... they are not half the car a vett is... that is fine tho... they cost half as much... mostly.
I have rode several hyboosas and 1000 screwzukis out in the country wher no one could see me... they are friegteningly fast. no matter how fast they are tho... they are not fast enough for me to force myself to actually ride one in public.
When one of those show tunes guys in the day glow outfit and the helmet the size of a large pumpkin gets off of one of those silly looking bikes it is all I can do to keep from laughing... I know they are fast and all but... sheesh... they are really really funny looking.

Oh, my bad. Sorry for not reading your mind on that one.
you said... "harleys are more ......" Not than, Not "harleys of today..." Just harleys. And it sure looked like you were saying Harleys period are more of what you mentioned than street bikes. I guess I missed the connection you were trying to make between old and new.
-
You can make a Harley, like any other vechicle as fast as you want it.
If you have never been to a The Nitro Harley finals , you have def missed a ground shaking , eye opening experience.
Ricers make a lot of ding ding ding sounds zipping up and down the streets, basicaly being a nuisance and and embarressment for the motorcycle world.
If you wanted to go reallllly fast I guess you could hang some lights, windshield, etc on a rail dragster and zoom up and down the street looking ridiculous. Sorta like a ricer. The thing is I wouldn`t want to take off on a road trip driving the dragster and expect it to hold up. Same with the ricers. Here today, gone tommorow.
Yups have been the biggest downfall to the Harley world. Running up prices with the 'IN"thing to do. ( I will have to say though, I took a lot of that old moldy *** Yup money from their pockets in the business. )
Number one rule for the pure Harley rider: Never, ever, ever go to an "Authorized Harley " dealer for anything. Not parts, oil, apparel....anything. They are there to take Yup`s money and grin.
I`ve got an ole `61 model I have had for a long , long time. Stretched, chopped, lowered, extended. Strictly Old School. S&S from top to bottom internaly. Printed, stroked, bored, balanced. 10 plate Barnetts with racing springs....... just for that Oh Yea feel when she grabs.
Wanna turn the little ladie`s head? Just putt her down the road. Never fails. :D
-
Well Jackal. What would happen if everyone road harleys instead of Ricers?
How would you be able to look better than them anymore? :)
Honestly, I really dont like bikes all that much. They are fun, neat, a toy, cool... Yeah.
I get more enjoyment from going on a cruise with some friends. Be it down to Sea Side park in NJ or just down some interstate in our cars. I will most likely never own another bike, ever again, and will most likely always have a Mustang. Thats just me tho. Critisize all you want guy. I wish I were as perfect. :)
-
jakal... I like old school.. I am old school. I would probly like your bike a lot. Apparel? yep... thought I was walking into some weird leather village people version of macy's or something instead of a Harley shop.
streetstang... How would you like it if everyone drove mustangs? you are the one who started all the hostility toward anything not mustang now you want us to just quit picking on you and celebrate diversity?

lol "us" Lazs. hehe :)
Your really too cute. 8)
Nah, I enjoy very much having it out with a Chevy guy. You said you drove fords tho? I got a Chevy truck. Its aight. More than enough to pull a trailer with my car on it to and from the track.
I almost shead a tear reading your post lol. :)
"us chevy guys" lol :D

As the original owner of a 1996 Impala SS....I love to spank the 5.o rustangs in a 4 door 4200lb car.
Now that ford has stepped up the bar with the 05's I will have to start some major mods to compete with the 05's.
The thing with the 05's is you have to be able to disable their traction control to get them to do burn outs etc. With minimal mods a new stang can easily get into the 12's around 109 mph. Guess I'm gonna have to get a GTO now.
-
With us mostly being mustang guys, we love nothing more than to knock on the SS owners doors at the track. A few of our friends do have Chevys. Mostly cameros, one's got a chevelle, 67 SS. Pretty sweet car.
This years mini-challenge was between my friends 2002 GT, and another friends Camero SS. Both basicly stock, stick cars. Minimal mods done to both, nothing that couldnt be bolted on in an hour or so. No bottles. On street tires. Was fun, because both were stock, and we made rules about what they could do to their cars, or couldnt do.
Here they come. :)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ststang2/100_1276.jpg)
There they are. :)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ststang2/100_1264.jpg)
There they go...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ststang2/100_1271.jpg)
Doh! Chevy wins that round, but just by a hair! hehe. :) How much did you pay for that SS? lol
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v156/ststang2/100_1280.jpg)
It was good fun for these guys. It always is when we go. Which is just about every weekend. And most of the weds. nights. Always a little bet to be had. All in good ol fashioned fun. The mustang ended up winning, by a 10th in the last rnd. Best 3-4.
Koda, unless your going to start racing Cobras, the O5GTs are nothing spectacular. MID to low 13s, and thats with a good driver. And there is no way on gods green earth that your impalla SS, stock will start beating Cobras. They are low 12 second cars stock... WIth chity drivers. Their traction control can be turned off with the flip of a switch, so burnouts will never be a problem.
-
Oh I totally agree with ya but for bone stock the past 8 years has been fun......I bought it new off the internet for 21k...she now has 80k and still goin strong. Thats why I said I need to get a GTO if I want to go mod crazy.....the wife tells me to finnish my 61 falcon pro-streeter first......lol

Ya see, that`s just the thing. Everyone that is a true Harley fanatic adds, customizes, changes things on your scoot to make it "yours", a one of a kind. That is what is so cool about spending a little time in a place like Sturgis. During bike week at Sturgis there will be anywhere from 500,000 to 750,000 Harleys there. You will very rarely see two Harleys alike.

LOL Yea it is really amazing at what you see in some of these shops now.
I was in Sturgis a few years ago and decided I needed a chrome himes joint for my extended controls. An "authorized" Harley dealer sets up there every year in a big warehouse sized building. Since it was handy I thought I would just pop in, grab the part, head back to camp and put it on, no prob. Wrong
I walked in this place to see what appeared to be an acre of shiny and leather thingymabobs, etc. Way in the back was a small counter marked Parts Dept. I waited in line for Mr and Mrs Yupster to do their thing. The three guys behind the counter had on white shirts, pants pressed to a T and enough gold stuff hanging around and on em to embarass Mr T.
I pulled the himes joint out and handed it to Jr. behind the counter. He turned it around and around in his hand, then went and consulted with Jr.#2 , who consulted with Jr#3.
Jr.#3 got this enlightened look on his face and headed in the back. He returned with a smile on his face and an "Authorized" Harley package in his hand. He handed it to me and I couldn`t help it...... I busted out laughing. He had retrieved me a banjo fitting for a fatbob tank setup.
I cruised on down to J&L , got my himes joint and went for a putt.

jakal.. even back when.. we never went to Harley shops.. that was for the dresser crowd and such.. nothing much there for us.
street... I have had both fords and chevies. a motor is a motor.. it is just an air pump. You can build a chevy a lot cheaper. Chevies dominate the HP race. there is simply more money spent on research. Mustangs are nice... they are uncomfortable and they tend to swap ends too easy and handle in an evil way but they are a lot of bang for the buck... a good deal.
I have an el camino and an Austin Healey. Both have chevy engines for various reasons. I had mustangs but even if I could get em into the 12's and be smog legal like my el camino I couldn't haul a refrigerator or washer dryer with em. plus...
I can find both of my cars in the parking lot... sometimes that was a little hard with the mustangs.
Oh... I do have a Lincoln town car that I use to take trips in with the grand daughter and girlfriend. Nice car.
but go ahead and think that the only way to go is with a ford...or worse.. a mustang. cuts down on what you have to learn I guess.

and.... I can put up with your penchant for calling other men "cute" but...

Yep. There are still a few carrying the authorized stamp that skirts the suits policies that you can depend on and get what you need, but very few.
Some of these guys have the frills and "Instant Easyrider" stuff but still are pretty Old School behind the scenes. Barnett in El Paso has some pretty in the know folks even though they are gigantic. They still remember who and what got them there.
Old man Brown and his behemoth "boys" are pretty much of a legend. :)
Guess my fav here in Texas has to be the guy in Temple who was refused the official Harley stamp because he wouldn`t cut his hair off and wear their "uniforms" to get their approval. He sued Harley and won, got the stamp and put in the shop. Sorta in your face to the wigs that you gotta get a chuckle out of.
J&L Cycle has always, to my way of thinking been real dependable and they had and still have a good rep.
They couldn`t resist the lure of the big Yup money, but you sure can`t blame them for that. They still speak the language.
I happened to be in Sioux Falls S. D. last year visiting my daughter and son-in law (Deth1) at the same time they were having their Grand opening for their new monster size "official" Harley dealership.
They had on display some scoots that didn`t exactly walk the line of the suits.
They also had an acre or so of the "cute stuff". :)
One guy walked by headed to the front where the scoots were and said " Oh cool, they put some motorcycles in this dress shop". :)
-
I pretty much like the attitude of Texans.. California is pretty much a lost cause even in the North now... the PC and aura folks are real quick to come out of the woodwork and point a hysterical finger at any aberant behavior.
Lot of my buds in the modified Healey club live in Texas and they are a fun bunch. When I went to the AH convention they kidnapped me for a night of driving chevy and ford powered Healeys and jensens and even a 240z... hundred plus on city streets but they were wide and commercial and unpopulated and... it didn't take long to get up there and back down in those cars.
Harley shops are really strange... mostly just a place to transform accountants into village people look alikes.
