PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

A guy down the street from me where l buy eggs sometimes has a Ranger Diesel, last time we talked about it he said it had over 300K on it.

 

@shakerhood says they're the last over-engineered Mustangs ever built!

 

It honestly is alot of fun to drive, plus there is connected feeling you get that is missing with more modern vehicles.

 

Not necessarily over-engineered but the drivetrain was decently over-built lMHO.

 

That thing prob hates ULSD!

 

ULSD?

 

Ultra low sulfur diesel. Old machines run like shit on it and it doesn't lubricate like old school diesel. Its kinda like running 0w20 in an 80s motor.

 

At my old job we had a basically retired runway, guys would drag race during lunch breaks before it was frowned upon, but the 5.0's basically won from the pool of cars guys were bringing back then.

 

LX is one of the best mustangs ever.

 

Better than the GT?

 

I don't like the hatch. trunk is so much cleaner. Hatch on a built drag style but on a daily, trunk.

 

The old Mustangs were cool.

 

There is also LX Hatch, the LX Coupes are quite valuable today.

 

The LX weighs a little less, would be a little more desirable for racing.

 

One of my buddies had one of those yellow special edition's, he said he always regrets selling it.

 

yeah I totally forgot about that. No body kit stuff but hatch. I’m talking lx coupe w trunk. They are nice. It’s a bad time to be a real car person. Every f-ing thing that is cool cost a fortune. Except fj-80’s, they are in the biggest slump ever.

 

When those were new most guys thought they looked like Chrysler K Cars and were mostly ignored. Funny how years later they gained popularity and actually have attractive body lines.
