Why a Mustang?

[KungFuHamster]

I grew up a GM guy...dreaming of the day I would own my own Trans Am.

One night my buddy had just gotten his small block 400 ci Nova rebuilt and thought it was badass (to us it was) saw an unfamiliar fox body pull into McDonalds. We set up a quick street race and the 5.0 handed the car its ass. I couldn't believe it. A couple years later this kid i work with gets one with a cam, 4.10s and a couple of bolt ons and I couldn't believe how fast it was. The seed was planted.

Fast forward a few years...I'm in the Navy, GM announces the death of the F-body so i go to trade my Camaro. Long story short, a horrible, shitty experience with the Chevy dealer sent me looking at the Fords (I loved the 99+body style when it came out) and boom, got into a 2001 GT and haven't looked back since.
