Since when did Mustangs become hipster cars?

I'm not sure that you understand the definition of "hipster."
Rather, do you mean that Mustangs are no longer being owned primarily by people who enjoy wrenching, racing, and wrecking at Mustang Week?

I agree with all that but the S550 part. I want a manual S550 I can turn into a 10 second N/A car.
And I'm a gun loving Trump supporting 'Merican! Not sure I'll fit in...
Ahhhh you’re the ‘i want to keep it NA’ guy. It is becoming clearer now.....
LMFAO...I want to cry when I think about the money I wasted trying to ring everything I could out of NA setups on previous cars, heads, cams, intake manifolds...monumental waste of ****ing time and money. Go FI, buy once, cry once...
bingo.....i've got a ton of customers that go the whole NA route, only to find they'd make 200whp more than they currently are if they spent the same amount of money, only going FI.
Its 2018 guys, use FI.
Definitely and the setups for centrifugal blowers, pd blowers etc have factory like fit and finish these days, very complete kits. You won't look like a mad scientist with a ****ed up science project.

and that's fine, you have a purpose in mind, the road course. I would agree NA is best there, could definitely see some endurance issues, not to mention the added weight of an FI setup on the nose of the car.

It's so much more rewarding when you race people and they realize you aren't power adding.
With that said I eventually plan on a positive displacement somewhere around 700rwhp. It is going to be a daily after all.
But yes, I very much so "am that guy" and have been.
and the heat...
The road course killer
I need to V3 my foxy lady
So if you lose, and they're running a power adder, you dont think you lost? I dont follow.
Fast is fast. 700whp is 700whp - All I'm saying is you'll spend 3x as much going NA. If not more. And it wont have good street manners.
OP doesn't realize the original 64-1/2 mustang was intended to be a "secretaries car." Plenty of flower power hippies were driving them.
Nothing has changed since then. Vast majority of base (v6 and 4cyl) model mustang owners probably could care less about getting oil on their hands or racing.

This shit started with the S197.
I think that the original Mustang was an American design made to look European where as the current Mustang is a European design made to look American.
I always thought hipster cars were eco friendly shit boxes, prius, hybrid hondas and the like...
Do some douchebags that kinda look hipster-ish drive mustangs, sure, but it's not a hipster car in the least. The mustang is a crowd killah, makes war, not love
