Maybe this is why some S197's get so much flack...

[blck04gt]

I disagree. MOST older guys with S-197's just seem to stick a bunch of BS all over their cars, badges, snakes, those stupid stuffed kids that lean on your bumper at car shows, stickers, painting weird things ON the car, just plain weird stuff. I don't get it. I'd be willing to bet that all those goofy looking S-197's are all owned by old guys. I just don't get it.

I completely agree with you Mike.

We have a couple of hideous S197's around here. They go to every show, every week. They both went through the APC catalog and ordered everything. The best thing is when they get upset at the awards ceremonies by not winning....I'll try to dig up some pics.

Here's mine:

mis-badging is so much more accepted on 05+ mustangs... not sure why. Its probably either having 10,000 special editions that everyone feels ok with it or ... so many first time mustang owners picked up 05+ mustangs and just put stuff on them that do not belong and dont know any better.

You guys should see this V6 that goes to my local shows. Guy is a complete moron. Even has a Steeda badge upside down. Next time I see it I am taking pictures. Here is mine btw... needs wheels.

I honestly think that the S197 brought out a new breed of Mustang owner. Seems that most, not all, but most of us came from the Fox-body era and have progressed to some extent. The S197 caught the attention of a whole new market who had never had a sports car, let alone a Mustang. That group honestly feels that the more crap you bolt/screw on the outside, the better the car gets. This same group feels that you should win car shows based on how many appearance mods you have. Not the case at our show (Mustang Week). We judge on cleanliness and overall appearance, so all the appearance mods strapped to the outside of the car aren't going to gain you anything.

People need to start worrying less about what someone else thinks of their car and more about what they think of their car. There is just too much stress at larger car shows these days.

Clean car except for the badges and brembo stickers.

I went for a similar look.

the S197 chassis has many extremes, from race to rice. I guess if you were to spend most your time at car shows, youd just see them being riced, same as if you spent most your time at race tracks, youd see them being raced.
