That look was sweet, feel like it wouldnt look right on the s197 though.

So, there has been a lot of talk recently about banning all of the 5.owners from the site. As most of you know, my second account (third acct really) is a mod account. So I've been thinking about this very seriously lately. I've come up with the following risk benefit analysis of banning all Mustang owners.

Benefits

Getting rid of all Mustangs would return this site to the heady days when the 370z was the best performance buy for the money (other than GenCoupes and M3's). We could pretend Mustangs don't exist.
We can talk all the smack we like about stangs. Bench racers and rag statisticians will love the opportunity to talk about how Stangs are "made for straights, but can't handle" and have "ancient SRA tech".
There would be no more condescension, because as we know, all 370z owners get along and never fight amongst themselves.
The site would be prettier and better balanced

Risks

Mustang owners are great cuddlers. We would miss spooning with them in the early morning dew.
Because Race Car
5.0 liters of American "cause I told you so"
We would lose the perspective of owners of performance cars with decent pickup and a Front engine, Rear wheel drive layout.
The Z needs to look pretty parked next to something.

I say we let them stick around.

Steve... thanks for this. So are these parts the BOSS splitter and GT/CS front fascia respectively? And they're OEM parts right?

Also another question for you guys. Have you heard of these MGW shifters? Anyone have any experience in their 2011+? Read a lot of good things. Wondering if it's worth the 375 bucks.

Yep, OEM parts.

MGW makes great stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to go with their shifter. If I get one that will be it.

^ also, I tried that site and entered those part #'s, and it's either not the right part # or they don't sell it anymore. Price and part # are different

Shado I have learned to live with your trollish ways. In fact, I now have feelings of affection towards you. I like to call it Shadoholm Syndrome.

You have to admit it's at least a little funny. The thought that we should rid the forum of technical and friendly members just because they moved from the Z to another performance car. It's ridiculous. I don't want you guys to go.

Look at some of the guys who've gone from a Z to a 5.0

There's a couple more. But that's a group of users who've been helpful and friendly on here. Some of these guys left or at least don't post as much here anymore. But none of you guys has worn out your welcome.

It bothers me that some Z fanbois have said "ban stang owners", because frankly, most of the guys trumpeting that message haven't contributed as much.

It's slightly annoying, but you're right, those are the members that couldn't tell a wrench from an ice cream cone, so it's not that big of a deal.

One thing to note is that Modshack has already moved on to his 61st (I think) car. He's in a new GTI now.

Edit: Also wanted to add that I can tell the difference between the guys that are just joking and the ones that are serious. There are only a couple that are actually serious.

I like to give them a hard time, but it's all in good fun. They're honestly the guys I'm learn the most stuff from on here.
