Good job making this point. In my community, a couple good kids lives went bad when they went street racing. Someone lost control and got charged with vehicular homicide. Things have a way of jumping out in front of cars, like other cars and children. I also agree with the point that the 928 is far rarer and better looking to onlookers. Rest assured that your car is top shelf in every relevant category.

If you want to get the 928 in it's sweet spot, offer to race him to LA. He'll be exhausted after a day, you'll be fresh as a daisy. And then you get to turn around and drive home too!

Now who would do something stupid like that?

This whole drama is teen angst. And this suggestion is typical of same.

If you just can't handle this guy's mouth, then take it to a track.

And if you did that, for a moment, let's just suppose you both total your cars (no one is hurt). Who would suffer the greater loss? Stock Stangs are common, and frankly some of our OBs don't bring any more on the lot, but you would have a hard time replacing your car. Not to mention what it would do to your insurance, if you could get insurance after that.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (AP) — Two men were racing on an isolated stretch of highway when one plowed into a crowd gathered to watch another illegal race, killing eight people, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Authorities revealed that two drivers, not just one, were involved in the February crash as they announced charges against Darren Bullock, 20, and Tavon Taylor, 18.

Each was charged with eight counts of vehicular manslaughter, along with reckless driving and street racing.

Bullock and Taylor were not part of the race that fans had gathered to watch along Route 210 in Accokeek



Christopher Mejak, the Lancaster man facing manslaughter and other charges in the street-racing deaths of two young people, waived a felony hearing Tuesday, and Lancaster Town Justice Mark Montour sent the case to a grand jury.

Mejak, 21, is free on bail on charges of manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide linked to the May 8 deaths of Mark Harhigh, 24, and Melanie Page, 21.

Lynette M. Reda, chief of the Erie County district attorney’s Vehicular Crimes Bureau, said the grand jury will begin action on the case within the next 45 days, but she declined to comment further.

Police said Mejak and Harhigh were racing along Transit Road at speeds of up to 120 mph when Harhigh lost control of his car and crashed



ALBANY — Benjamin Kirsch had just picked up his prom tux, a day after getting his driver’s license, when he lost control of his speeding car and hit a tree. The Holland High School student died at 17.

Christie Trummer, a sophomore at Salamanca High School, was ejected from a car when her friend, a teen driver, became distracted by a dog in the vehicle and crashed. She died at 15.

On Staten Island, Michelle Arout was in the back seat of a car driven by her teen boyfriend, who was racing a friend at speeds up to 90 mph. When they collided, the car Arout was in was sliced in two. She died at 17.

And on Long Island, Saul Lopez and Quinntin McDonald just wanted to grab lunch off school grounds. They died in a crash in a car driven by another teen. Both were 17.

The stories go on and on, putting faces and names to the sobering statistic that car crashes are the number one cause of death for teenagers — accounting for 36 percent of all teenage deaths. In New York State, more than 200 teens die a year in these crashes.

I understand your situation. I had my 82 in high school and got offers all the time to race. I knew my car wasn't that fast and I figured it was better to let people wonder if it was fast or not rather than race someone and show that my girlfriends Grand Am GT could out run it to 60 (those little things are quick). Besides Mustangs are a dime a dozen and you see them around every corner. You didn't buy the 928 because it is fast you bought it because you appreciate its unique design.

PS...I think the sweet spot for the earlier auto models is just under 40mph. If you can get into first around 35 and run to 60 or 65 then at least you'd look respectable.

For less than $1,000 you can beat him in a 1/4 mile race, but it requires about a 150~200 shot of NOS! I'd go with twin bottles.

just wait for a snowy day..I've never seen a mustang of any vintage be able to drive in the snow..we used to give people rides home from work on snowy days because they were afraid to drive them home
