Why do mustangs sound so awesome?

when they have nothing else going for them you can atleast make them sound good,,,

It's engine internals and firing order.
Exhaust has little to nothing to do with it, otherwise the mufflers/exhaust from a mustang would make a camaro sound exactly the same.

Yep, firing order.

It's all in the firing order. Mustangs have had a distinct sound since the foxbody 5.0 days. Different firing order is why the 80's 5.0 Mustang (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8) sounded different that the 80's 5.0 F-150 (1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8).

Its the 5.0 in the foxbodies that get my attention but the 4 valve cobras, machs, marauders sound soo mean when you get the cats off them and put any nice flowing exhaust on them. Whether its a prochamber, x pipe, h pipe, magnaflow magnapacks, borla stingers, mac cat back or any of the like. I am looking for another one right now and really want an 03-04 Saleen and with that one it will be a O/R prochamber with mac catback......with a kenne bell stuck on top of it should scream nicely! Thats really my dream car

I scrolled past this picture three or four times while looking at this thread, then I finally slowed down and realized that's an LS motor stuffed in a Miata..That's AWESOME 
Bet that was a heck of a project getting it in there. How big af a traction problem did it have?

or till I see it in my rear view mirror 25 bus lengths behind me....
Let me see if I can find one of my favorite U Tube vids, talking about screaming Kenne Bell Style
Couldn't find it. The guy lights up the tires in third gear and the passenger says that thing screams. Maybe later. Sry

Gallery has my build picture. Thank you for finally realizing what it was!
Believe it or not traction wasnt as bad as most would think! At 2680lbs. With me in it, full of fuel, and toolbox in the trunk. 177mph plus was seen many times! Me in the ls6 383 miata playing with a 590rwhp 300zxtt! Speeds in the ###mph!

Video inside my miata with me driving... Passenger filming! Passenger goes aaahhhhggg when I nailed the brakes! I catch the 300zxTT not boost braking, he had to wait for his big turbo's to spool up while I have 442rwtq on tap!

One of the roll on's from 35/40 mph.... I am in the far lane... then blown 03 Mustang Cobra... video in 300zxTT
http://www.streetfire.net/video/91-tt-v ... 173950.htm
This on was on of our better runs. I got the 300ZxTT covered til 155 mph.... he goes around me at 160 mph. I am doing 177mph while he his doing close to 180mph. 26lbs of boost and big turbo's with race fuel helping the 300zxTT. If I still had the car, a hard top would of been bought and 125hp hit of spray was next! The ls6 383 was built for it! It made 448rwhp/442rwtq.... Man I miss that thing!

Here is the link to my build back in the day! Ls6 383 miata 6 speed
Question, why does everyone build AWESOME cars and then sell them? Is it because they spend too much building them to keep them? I would never have gotten rid of the Miata for example. I know a lot of guys on this board who have built cars that are awesome for a lifetime and then sell them, many times with regret. What gives?
