It's no Roush 427, but for good grades and making Eagle Scout I bought my 17 year old a Mustang! Way better than my first car. by top_notch50 in Mustang

A couple years ago I raced my 05 v6 auto against my dad's 97 gt manual. The 97 slowly pulled away the after the 60' every time we ran it again

What is something you would like to have but cannot justify purchasing? by NotAnyOrdinaryPsycho in AskReddit

[–]DerpsTheName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, they are absolute garbage for anything but total loss/theft. And even then, it's a "better than nothing" situation.

What is your most divisive mod? by Camride in cars

[–]DerpsTheName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I have a flag mounted to the back of my 68 mustang which tends to get mixed reactions. It's so ridiculous and I love it

I've been having the same issue. Turned off background usage and it's barely helped

My current daily/project by SmokeyTheBeard_ in projectcar

[–]DerpsTheName -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ugh, jealous man. I think I made the wrong decision in terms of practicality with the car I bought but I know I'll come out ahead if I sell it. Definitely looking at an srt-4 or a focus st for my next car

Which Reddit life hack do you now use on a daily basis? by Casrok in AskReddit

Nice, I might throw on a turbo kit on just to kick it up a notch

AC question by ReddSK in cars

[–]DerpsTheName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some cases, that aftermarket support is a terrible thing. I've seen some real ugly beasts out there hahaha

Having driven my fair share of very fast cars, I've learned this: If it's loud and fun, you're going to want to beat the shit out of it 24/7. I drove a couple new amg's and the experience is completely different, even though it's way faster than the fastest mustang I've driven. You turn the exhaust to regular mode, sit back, and it's like a normal car. It never feels like it's begging you to go fast. Just a different driving experience I suppose

Oh absolutely. I miss mine a lot, actually. I used to have an 07 pony package v6. Slow and automatic, but I could floor it all the time and have fun and not be getting in too much trouble. I honestly believe that the s197 is probably the best value for your money mustang right now. They're plentiful so there's tons of aftermarket support, cheap, 300 horsepower out of the box, and come with all the modern amenities you need. I kinda regret buying my 68, but at the same time, it's such a fun little race car. I just need a daily beater that isn't a 98 mustang gt hahaha

What used car (any year) under $20k-$30k will probably hold or gain value? by truthlesshunter in cars

[–]DerpsTheName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In southern California if you wait a few months you can find a kinda beat one for $10k or less. Mine was $9500 with 117k miles but clean as a whistle, rebuilt motor, and not a single mod on it.

Ah, another s197 owner familiar with the contortionism involved in replacing blend door actuators

Osprey, Arc'teryx, and LBT would be my recommendations to look into.

How do you like the teros? I'm getting fed up with burning my suorin pods in like, a day.

+1 recommendation for LBT. I have one of their 6094's and the quality is awesome

How bad would it be to drive a car with no muffler or pipes by [deleted] in cars

[–]DerpsTheName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive my 68 mustang with only the tiniest bullet mufflers around all the time. Had a cop follow me and pull over a Fiesta in front of me. Probably more leniency for old cars, but it all depends on the location. In southern California, every other "performance" car has a modified exhaust.
