Can we get a thread going about Mustang alternative truths?

  • 4.30:1 gears are too much for 96-01 NA Cobras.
  • Explorer intakes are GT40 intakes.
  • 160 degree thermostats will keep the computer in open loop.

What's your Mustang fake news?

Please don’t talk unless you have personally owned a N/A 4v with 430 gears,your giving them a bad rep.I’ve had 430 gears in my DAILY driven 96 cobra and now my 03 Mach 1 (owned the cobra from 2012-2015) for the past 6 years,just recently switched from 430s to 456s in my Mach 1 and drive it 35 miles everyday for the past 3 years and don’t hesitate to take it on far trips to the bay area or wherever I need too.Both cars made over 20mpg and my Mach is a new set of slicks away from running 11s on a stock longblock no power adder,not to mention the fun factor when you let it eat.Best gears HANDS DOWN for a n/a 4v,if you don’t like the rpms they provide at 70mph you shouldn’t be in a modded Cobra or Mach 1 and keep the sorry 327s or 355s Ford provides factory.373 gears and 410s leave way to much on the table.Anyone who has had such gear I don’t think will hesitate to agree with me.

I think he is saying that people who say 4.30 gears are too much gear for a na 4v are wrong. Like you mentioned the na 4 loves gears. Unless I am reading it wrong.

Lol it could be read both ways, I just assume he was saying 430 gears are overkill most people can’t fathom having a gear like that lol

All mustang owners can't drive. Because youtube proves it.

You have to be a convicted fellon to drive/own am ex chp mustang.

The only way to make a Mustang fast, is to put an LS motor in it.

Automatics are always slower than a stick.

Verts can never be fast.

A speedo that says 220mph means the car can do that. So a mustang with a 85mph speedo is def slower.

Taking cats off of your car ALWAYS makes it cooler.

You can't pass smog with an aftermarket cam.

All mustangs should have two chamber flows or very loud exhaust. Otherwise you'll be weaksauce.

Women love loud music comming from mustangs or fast cars with no AC.

The Mustang Rapist was the worst thread of all time on CaFords.

Turbo 50 is the best engine builder to ever be a member of this website.

Iron 50 is the best welder on Cafords ( JB being a close 2nd ) and Duncan def didn't R Kelly him.

Oh lastly N8 def paid Lee for his tow and Dave beat up N8 cause I posted the video years ago.

Iron 50 was a welder. He did a shitty rollcage for a member and it caused quite the on going joke about needing welding. Speaking of welding. Someone really didn't know what JB weld was. Someone really thought it was a real dude named JB.

N8 was a black dude from stockton who owned a 95 cobra aka Ashy Larry. He had another member Dave work on the car. N8 and Dave had a big blow up and another member Lee, towed the car for N8. Who didn't pay Lee for the tow. This site has had some EPIC threads over the years.

The most internet famous one has been the troll know as the mustang rapist. If you can find that thread, please pull it back up to the front page.

No that was after the original JB weld post.

There was a funny video with Iron 50 getting pissed on but I don't know if the video is still around.

Oh and I forgot all about cobraracer46 and bike to work day. [dance]

https://californiafords.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=049984 I think this is the JB Weld thread.
What is the cobraracer story? Some people accused me of being some cobra racer when I started posting. Don't know the gentleman.
