A Few Questions from a perspective Mustang buyer!
 

hey guys, i'm currently seriously looking for another toy and i've been looking at quite a few Mustangs as of late! my last toy was a 2002 Camaro SS M6 and it was the best toy i've had yet!

basically wondering what pros/cons there are for all the different years of Mustangs. i'm currently looking at '99 to '04 GT Convertibles with a manual tranny!

my first choice would be either an '03 or '04 Cobra but they are still a little pricey for me being that it will be my 2nd vehicle!

any help will be greatly appreciated!

p.s. my SS ran 13.2@108 bone stock, what would it take for a GT to hit 12's because that will be my goal! thanks in advance!

for a 99-04 GT to hit 12's would take a bit,
they run, what?...14.0+ stock
i dont know to much about GT's, or thier mods, but i do know mustangs are one of the easiest cars to mod.
im sure other ppl will help out here.
good luck

12's in a 99+?

4.10 gears, a good tire, subframe connectors and nitrous.

why did you sell the SS? those things are killer

12's in a GT vert??

you will probably need a power adder...blower/NOS

even a cammed GT coupe will only run mid to low 13's

not saying it can't be done....I mean with some drag suspension, D/r's, sub frames, gears, removing alot of weight and a great driver its possible I think. But I havent seen anyone do it yet.

Good Luck :tup

i hear you about the cobra...would be nice but too much cash...if want something 99+ I'd look for an 03/04 Mach 1, over 300hp NA, easy to get into the 12s....

ya i was looking at Mach 1's but i think i want a Vert this time! i sold my SS on a wim and now i wish i hadn't! i'm not totally sure what i'll end up getting but i need a toy! :biggrin:

Buy a Mach 1...Chop the roof..weld some sub frames...talk to G Fonger and your into the 12's with a vert...O and only drive it on Sunny days :biggrin:

it's hard to beat the older foxes for all out go power...some gears, some gutting, some tuning and you're hitting the 12s....my 85 vert was nice too, and different compared to the stuff out now...

thanks for the help guys!
