Nitrousbird Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ack....I'm becoming a Mustang owner. http://www.cofba.org/users/timbrss/Mustang/mustangGT%20006.jpg http://www.cofba.org/users/timbrss/Mustang/mustangGT%20002.jpg http://www.cofba.org/users/timbrss/Mustang/mustangGT%20008.jpg http://www.cofba.org/users/timbrss/Mustang/mustangGT%20013.jpg http://www.cofba.org/users/timbrss/Mustang/mustangGT%20010.jpg After my Jimmy decided to grenade its motor last December, I've been borrowing my roomate's Mustang, as he never drives it. Well, as of tomorrow, it will officially be mine. My tax return arrived in my account today, so that's what it is buying. So what's done to it? - 97 Cobra Rims - 1.5" drop - Homemade CAI that needs to go ASAP - Flowmaster catless H-pipe and exhaust - March Underdrive crank pulley w/ AIR pump belt bypass - B&M Ripper Shifter - Every option except it's a hardtop, 5-speed, and no Cobra package. This thing has just been a daily driver for a few years. My roomate bought it back w/ 90k on the clock, it now has 197k! It's been damn reliable for him though....this f'er is a TANK. Exactly what I need, a reliable daily driver (yes, I could have gotten a reliable Civic or whatever, but that's not my style at all). Had it been any other 197k Mustang, I woulda passed. But I've been around this car for years, and know its full history, so I know EXACTLY what I'm getting into, and that makes all the difference in the world.

Nitrousbird Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Originally posted by stealthmonkey: YES. It doesnt look like a tuna canHell no. This car is supposed to be the exact DIRECT competition for my car; I can't imagine buying this over the Formula when new. Stock for stock, my Formula was significantly faster, handled better, more comfortable, and IMO looks better. Had my roomate had a F-body as well for sale w/ same miles/condition/price, I would have taken that over this in a heart beat. I just wouldn't dare buy either with this kind of mileage from another owner, as these kind of cars tend to be ran a lot harder than most others. Originally posted by vitaminCJ: Congrats on the purchase. I have always liked the way those 4.6's sound. CJ94-95 GT/Cobra's = 5.0. 4.6's didn't go in until 96.

If I find anyone selling a 94-95 Cobra spoiler, 94-98 Cobra front bumper cover, or 96-98 Cobra hood painted the same color for cheap, I'd probably be all over it. smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked FaSSt Posted February 27, 2005 Report Share Posted February 27, 2005 Fucking shit. I gave Joe the best mother fucking deal ever on this car. I think that he should be good to it to change the oil and polish parts that should be polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see the year in your post and thought that was a 4.6L year. I guess I need to go back to "Identifying Mustang Model/Year 101".

I've got other toys that want to empty my wallet too. Exhaust video the roomate took last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
