What makes cars not fun to drive daily.

[TallyGT]

In your opinion, what mods make mustangs not fun to drive on a daily basis. This will wildly be dependent on your location, please include why where you live affects this if it does. These can be purely opinions, or backed by actual first hand experiences.

I live in Nebraska.

Mods that would make a mustang not fun to daily drive:

• Too much low end torque, as this causes issues with snow, ice, and slush driving
• Being too loud (interior and exterior), this also includes exhaust that is loud but does not sound good at all
• Ride way too stiff
• Car won't start in certain conditions

Probably having a giant vagina. That makes it difficult.

A close second is a race clutch.

My personal things would be -

• Spherical axle bushings.
• Heavy clutch.
• loud brake pads.

 

[R.D.P.]

Loud, lowered, stiff clutch.

How about a bad shifting mt 82 transmission !!

 

[fulanititoo8198]

Noise/Vibration, Being too low, Visibility, Space, bad in snow/ice, ticket magnet. Those are the reasons I don't daily the mustang. And too much time and money into it at this point.

 

[The Beast 2014]

Hot enough horsepower

 

[jbs$]

A leg breaking clutch or a road speed drone.

All the ass clowns that ride your ass or along side of you thinking they can run with you in their tomato can Hondas, and Subarus!

If it is to loud. The S197 has the mufflers at the back end now compared to the older chassis (fox,sn94) with tailpipes that would muffle the sound some. Which can make these cars sometimes a little obnoxious with certain muffler combos.

My personal opinions, I already know you'll demand my man card for this:

1. Too high of gears. My 3.73s are fun but 4.10 would drink gas on the freeway. Didn't buy the car for fuel economy but why waste?
2. Axlebacks that drone. Pulled the outlaws off for this reason.
3. A blower. I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I am very happy with a bolt on car that I know is safe. Meaning I am not at all worried that my trans/ block is living on borrowed time. Critical point of being a dd- it has to be ready to go, all the time, without being a source of worry.

~ on loudness. I'm pretty loud but if I baby it I am not going to wake the neighborhood. Corsas are pretty mellow down low. In certain situations I could see how this would be a bigger problem.

I would also say that adjustable suspension is very nice- can make as hard or soft as I want. Would not want full hard for a dd.

Being catless and pcv delete sucks. I can combat the pcv by keeping my hvac on recycle but the gas smell from no cats... Nothing to do about that besides run e85

Eh, my car is damn loud with the Bassani's and O/R X, rides stiff(er) than stock, is a cop magnet, but I honestly love driving it every day. Sometimes the exhaust can get a little overbearing on the interstate as I don't really wanna listen to that at 4am driving to work, but it sounds too good to change.

A dirty ass car and too many mods to where you second guess if its still dependable.

 

[Tuffnuts23]

A loud ass woman in the passenger seat listing reasons why her mother doesn't like me. That always ruins a nice car ride

 

[Holovacko]

Drag radials..... I leave them on the car, but don't daily drive it anymore in case of rain. The exhaust is obnoxious, but I refuse to admit my wife is right, so, for my neighbors sake, I try not to start it too early in the morning.

Mine is a great dd atm. Basic bolt ons, not too loud. I'm adding long tubes and cat less X pipe, hopefully it's tolerable. I think lowering it too much makes it no fun. My mach 1 was that way. This car rides great with its set up. The auto helps, I got tired of shifting as well.

Solid mounts/suspension bushings. Thats the turning point for me when my nice car goes to sounding like my 24 year old fox
