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 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.

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...
