Just wondering what motivates you guys to mod your stangs? I know most of the time its just me WANTING to have the best looking and performing car so the list never ends.
But i know when i had my last coupe , it had a semi built 302 with a little over 300 to the rear wheels (you guys that know me and know my old car know it ran good for what it was). the suspension was bone stock and i was on 580 one time around 1am going home from Hayward to Oakland and there was a 65-66 red mustang sitting real nice on some torque thrust with a big rear tire and 4-wheel disk brakes. So im rigth besides him looking at his car and he drops a gear and slows down and i do the same and we take off, i jump ahead by about a car on the straigh away but every time we come around a curve i have to slow down and slightly brake because my car feels very unstable. He just stays on it and handles the curves like nothing and gets ahead every single time, untill the straigh aways when i catch up. And that night definetly motivated me to do some suspension work. A few weeks later i lowered the car wiht Maier springs and welded in sub-frames and 5-lugged it and also bought a panhard bar (never got to instal it)... So just wondering what motivates you guys to do the mods you do to your cars!

What motivates me to mod my cars is everything , I love my cars ,and I love the comrodery that comes with your car that i moded, and the appreciation you get from having it ... The thumbs up I get cruising it down the street, the questions I get asked about my car at shows or the track, and even at ride outs, most of all I just love doing it can't really explain it but wrenching on my cars with a bunch of friends ,bullshittin while doing it . It's all fun for me!
