2007 Stock GT 1st kill!!

**Grimmy73** · 06-07-2007, 12:28 AM

So there I was driving home from a 13hour day, old man style with the cruise controll set at 59mph just enjoying the weather and trying to relax. When out of nowhere comes this kid this Red 99 Mustang GT... Up on my ass like a catholic priest on a alter boy. We were just passing through Bellaire, Ohio on St Rt. 7 almost to the 470 bridge. So I wave him up along side of me there was nothing ahead of us as far as the eye could see. I wink at his girl friend and blow her a kiss and give him a nod. Mind you I'm in a automatic (it's the fiance's car) he's shifting.... I drop it back to 3rd stomp tac up to about 4500 shift to drive and he's already 3 lengths back. It was over as fast as it started. He had nothing. It's a damn shame I had to eat one of my own but screw it I was happy to go 1-0

so yay for me and my 2007 Stock Automatic Mustang GT!!! (God I suck)

To be honest I think I could have beat him in my 2000 Accord EX Coupe.

It was a Coupe and not a hatch or a Escortstang so that rules out 93 and older. It said GT on the bumper and had a 4.6 embelem on the side so that now rules out 94 and 95. The fact that the paint was Laser Red Tinted Clear coat and not Laser Red Tinted clear coat METALIC rules out everything 1998 and older. So now I'm down to 99 00. There is no way it could have been newer than 2000. So I'll change my original guess from 99 and make it a bit more broad. It was either 99-00 ? I should be about right but please don't hold me to any of this I'm sorta new to the whole Ford Mustang thing. :)

wow - just wow

the 96-98 body is way different than the 99-04. the 99-00 stock had clear headlights, no side or hood scoops, and a different spoiler. the 01-04 had smoke headlights, side and hood scoops and a more standard looking spoiler. also the 96-98 were the only ones to have a "GT 4.6L" emblem....the 99-04 just had "GT"

now if it had "GT" embossed on the bumper its 96-98. if it had a GT badge on the trunk left side its 99-04.

nice kill either way...the 05-07 5 speed auto's are no slouch's.

compared to the 5 speed they are.. If i had a auto in one of those first mods would be 4.10s and a shift kit with stall and then it would be up to pace with a 5speed

So I guess that means it was a 98' with DULL metallic paint??

Nice Kill..

Like I said.. I don't know a whole heck of a lot about Mustangs other than I just bought one. I like it. As for memorizing every detail about model change that's awesome if you know all of that, or if your able to tell the year by a glance, that's great. I was going by how it looked w/ what little model knowlege I knew. I was off one year. I'm content w/ that. Only reason I knew the pain thing is cuz a friend of mine has the 98 and that's the last year for the metalic.

As for those who were quick to jump on me for asking how I knew the year and were able to prove me wrong

I bow to your supreme knowlege.... and at the same time :flip: for going out of your way to try to make a new member feel stupid.

hugs and kisses all around,
