standout car at high school

well, i am a junior in high school, and in my senior year i want my car to be the standout car, the one everybody knows. this year it is a 95 5.0 mustang that has been converted to a full saleen and everybody knows whos car it is. thats what i want. and for the senior class every year, the top 3 stand out cars get put into the year book. so does anybody have any tips to make my car stand out more?

depends what you want, loud system, i guess maybe neons(make people remember, just not fully legal in some places), loud pipes,you already have nice wheels. Thats all i can think of, maybe flame throwers for the exhaust lol

haha the school made my friend take neon off of his car because it almost caused a few accidents (it did cause 2)  because people would stop looking at the road and just look at his neons. so im pretty sure neon isnt the way to go. im getting full exhaust in next month. but your sound system idea sounds great though!! thanks daboss351!

Lay rubber and make a few smoke clouds,and get a great sounding exhaust.That'll get attention.Intimidate a few people with the car.That leaves an impression.

That will do it.  I only drove my car a few times to school last year, but everyone knew it was me.  I've done nothing to it except but some stickers on the back window.

Loud, throaty exhaust.  HO conversion would help a lot too.  Your car has the looks, now give it the speed and sound of a real V8.

Here at college, all the ricers love to show off around the parking lots....just wait till I get my exhaust done muahaha

haha laying down a cloud does sound like a good idea but there is on little problem, well, its a huge problem, the police station is basicly next to my high school, haha.
around here, nobody goes to the track (just me and a couple of my friends). its all about the look and sound at my high school.
im looking for a explorer motor right now for my car. that should help.

I remember a lot of cars from high school.No-one remembers that guy with the loud stereo.Everyone remembers the cars that had that "sound" that would give you goosebumps,the sound someone can feel when you rev the engine.I had a '76 Grand Prix with a 455.Man,that thing got attention.Black with a black vynel roof and black interior.Sinister looking to say the least.We still talk about that car,and the '78 Trans Am with a 455 as well.They left impressions.Everyone has a "system" in their car.Big deal.Not very memorable.You want to stand out,not blend in.

Flames.

I'm not joking. I had a $#!t brown Nissan pickup in high school. It had 286K miles, rust, 2x4, 5-Speed, with a 110HP 4-Cylinder. I cleaned up the paint, painted the wheels nice, etc, made it look really good. And NOBODY noticed. So I spent a week masking and painting and showed up with HUGE black and red tribal flames (red fade on the tips, airbrushed) that I had painted myself. EVERYBODY noticed. Those and the catless exhaust with a glasspack (LOUD) made it the most talked about car in the history of that school. Sure, there a lot "cooler" cars, but EVERYBODY knew about Mike's Flaming Truck. :D:D;)

Haha nice story!  That's funny.

But yes, a nice explorer 5.0 with some true dual exhaust (with some flowmasters or some other nice throaty lers) would really help.  I know I'm gonna have fun drowning out the ricers with my H.O./Flowmaster combo :D .

haha i love it! my school everyones about the stereos though, not many people care about power, and the stereos and imports is what the girls look for, its kinda gay in my opinion, id rather have a nice v8 American car over a import any day. But i will say i have a nice system planed for what ever i get, plus the mods in the powerplant. everyone keep your fingers crossed for me that i get that lincoln!
