That's just it. You're plunking a LOT of money down into the chassis just to make it come close to what the Mazda3 does stock. if I put just sway bars and stickier tires but wih the same size on the factory 16 inch wheels of the Mazda3, nothing else, I'm positive it would downright embarrass my mustang in the handling…

You nailed it. It was a good city car as long as you kept it within the city below 40mph. The functionality of the interior was also amazing but I used it so rarely that it wasn't worth punishing myself with all the highway and hilly B-road driving I do. Living in an area where the city is surrounded by farmlands in…

Thanks!

Yup. Add a good quality catback (ie. Borla) and a cold air intake and you also get greeted by all sorts of nice noises from the front and back of the car. Though the catback does nothing for power, the Borla setup is quiet at idle and polite for sedate driving around residential areas at night or around law…

Well I can definitely speak to the wonders even an Off the shelf tune can do to the liveliness of the 3.7L V6. It feels already pretty good for a V6 Mustang stock but the tune is rather dramatic. But please, just please get the stick!

Raph, as I've posted a few times including in an "article" of mine on Oppo, I've been bummed out by the same car: The Honda Fit. I bought it as a commuter/winter driver since the Mustang is better served as a summer toy based on all the damn hype around the car and was... let down.

That thing is friggin cool. The whole secrecy and intrigue makes it exponentially cooler. It also makes me so curious as to it's purpose it hurts!

You know, that's some pretty decent shooting there! And banana clips ftw!

Opening doesn't do shit if my head is touching the roof pannel because the sunroof makes it lower. Also getting my head stuck on there duribg a crash and breaking my neck doesn't sound pleasant.

No! No more damb sunroofs! Every time I get into a small coupe with a sunroof my head touches the damn frame of it or goes INSIDE it and I'm only 5'10 (long torso). No. No sunroofs.

Fake badging is a maladie that seems to afflict a few of my portuguese bretheren that I know. Like Si badges, spoiler and rims on a DX.

Reminds me of the time in 2011 when my Mustang was exactly a month old and a damn deer decided to JUMP IN MY PATH WHILE I'M INCOMING AT 75MPH! (On the highway). Needless to say, i did the exact maneuver of the scandinavian moose test and managed to dodge the damn idiotic creature. I was proud of my own natural…

Whereas most of my driving is done above 60mph where horsepower really does make a different for passing.

You know, I had to wring my Honda Fit to redline oblivion all the damn time when I had it just to get it going with traffic or get to highway speeds because that 117hp quoted figure was only after the v-tec cam phasing kicked in at 6000rpm (redline at 6500). It was also almost impossible to execute a pass in two-lane…

Wow, I'm learning something new every day!

Canada! F*CK YEAH!

So it's the british's fault that an idiotic dictator made a poor decision? War is always tragic and there's always loss of life. Don't act as if Argentina are the only ones that suffered any heavy losses during a war and the draft was NOT a new idea at the time. See world war 2.

I don't count true rednecks in my list of civilized populations. But then I guess I'm jaded from living in Canada.

Except the population of the whatever islands you want to call them consider themselves culturally to be British. Regardless of where the islands are located, if the population don't consider themselves in terms of personal and cultural identity to be Argentinian but instead to be British, then there was no reason for…

Me, next summer in the jetski: "hold my beer".
