Yes, and Ingot still has a Mustang.

Serious question for you Ingot / formerly BlackV6: Do they make chin and tail spoilers for the Mustangs that are similar to the old Mach one spoilers, and do you think they would look good on your car?

I only get to maybe 2 or 3 UC5 events per season, which are a blast, but I try to attend as many local events as possible for the fun!

I found the Upstate group very friendly and open to a complete stranger (even one from Canada ) but with all gatherings of this type it's only natural for long time friends to stick together because they have more in common. I encountered the same thing at last years BBOMG in Oshawa, was sort of on the outside looking in since I didn't really know anyone there personally. I just try to mingle and join in the conversations whenever possible without being too pushy. Really looking forward to the 2 events at The Glen this year with the Upstate gang.

Naw, I saw one at BBOMG last year. Just 1. Saw it again at Camaro Nationals a few weeks later. Seen pictures of the same one. Maybe everyone has to time share.

We also have to agree. We got our Camaro in June and spidiefest was the first show we attended(actually sign up for club 2 days prior). THANKS JOHN FOR SHOWING US THE WAY!!!!.

Everyone in the club accepted us in and answered all questions(even the stupid ones) without looking down upon us.) I wasn't sure at first if we would like being part of a club but we have made some great friends and memories with all of you!!!

Yes there was some razzing along the way--but that was all in fun. Overall I would definitely recommend our club to anyone out there.

I know with the upcoming year we will make more friends along the way and hope to have an even better time

We look forward to the upcoming season and can't wait for it to start

You also left out the new improved 3.6L and the ZL1 but I'll leave those calculations to those that have one or will have one soon.

No disrespect meant to the V6's! They put out around the same hp as did their immediate V8 predecessors.

As for the ZL1, it's an awesome car. Like the 650hp Shelby Mustang.

Nice going dmg. Oh well, I guess the V6 vs. V8 wars may officially start ....

NOW.

Thanks flash! I never tire of being reminded how I drive the original pony car.

Serious question for you Ingot / formerly BlackV6: Do they make chin and tail spoilers for the Mustangs that are similar to the old Mach one spoilers, and do you think they would look good on your car?

Quite honestly, I didn't know. So I Googled and found this:

I dunno, what do you think?

Awesome no doubt, but I liked the 302s with the Z28 flags on the fenders.

Is this the one you are referring to? I think it is BUT, that wasn't a official production model, the seatbelts didn't even work as I overheard in the conversation. Maybe it was a UFO

That's it. Saying that's the only one that exists-or doesn't.
