These cars are cheap people, and so easy to modify... GET ONE!!! lol i prob only have 5k into it.. and it'll smoke by most mustangs.. (but not all.. still fallin behind the FI guys:tup)

yeah no mustang in the winter for me... but are talons reliable???

No winter driving for my stang, I plan on keeping it for quite awhile. The winter conditions here in Cape Breton are not the best and lots of salt.

81 mustang coupe is the winter car and the 88 Mustang is the summer car.

I bought my '03 GT brand new with the intention to keep to the bitter end,so no snow driving for this one.That's what the daily family driver is for.:)

I was driving the V6 through this winter until the thing died on me.

The Cobra would just be suicide.

i drove my mustang home from work last fall/winter the day it got parked, it snowed about a foot, drove home on 275/45/17's BFG G-Force Sports, it turned my 20 minute drive into a 2.5 hours drive, it wasn't pleasent, at that point i vowed to never drive a 2 wheel drive vehicle in the winter, 4x4 is the way to go
