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

)

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.

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
