I am new to mustangs. I have had some hot rods in the past but that was years ago. They were fast but not really comfortable.
I have a company car as a daily driver but the mustang I am wanting to buy will be be my primary personal vehicle. I can use the company car for whatever and my wife has her own car so I will not really be relying on the mustang for transportation but I want something nice with AC etc that the wife will want to ride in and we could take on weekend trips or whatever. I am not an avid racer or anything but I want it to be fast. My last hot rod ran high 11's. I don't necessarily need to be that fast (but it would be nice) but I don't want a slug either.
I have always liked the looks of the SN-95's but doing some searching and reading they are not that fast stock unless you are talking about a terminator or something. It doesn't look like it is very cheap to make them fast either. I know nothing about these mod motors though so I may be wrong. I know the 94&5 had the pushrod motors so that is an option but I don't know which is better. The newer cars with the coyote seem pretty dang appealing with 400 hp out of the box and creature comforts also.
With my background in mind what would you buy if you were starting from scratch? I don't mind doing work myself but I don't want to sink a ton of money into something that I will never get back.
Lets say what would you buy with a 5k budget, 10k, 20k?
Thanks
