    Mustang Question...advice Needed

    Hi all, not sure if this is the right place for this or not...but here goes. I have an 06 Civic Si right now and it's ultra-reliable and pretty fun. However my dream car is a Mustang. I am at a crossroads here and I need advice. I owe about $9k on my car still. Should I trade it in and...

    Might Be Looking To Buy A 99-04 Gt

    Follow up question: is it fairly easy (and reliable) to get 300hp at the wheels? That's about all I would want from the car.

    For the cracking intake manifold, is there an updated OEM one that we swap over to?

    Might Be Looking To Buy A 99-04 Gt

    Hi guys, I may be looking at 99-04 GTs soon. Possibly a Mach 1 if I can find a cheap one. I'm just wondering what are the common problems with these years. I know of the spark plug issue already, not how to fix it tho. Any other advice when shopping for one? Thanks.

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    I assume you mean me....lol. Well, I still owe on my current car, but as soon as I can sell it and pay the bank off I'm getting a Fox. This might be as long as 6 months from now, which would actually be ok with me, as I've never owned a RWD car before before and I'd hate my first few months of...

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    as I get older, I'm learning that going fast isn't all that matters. Now I don't want to drive a Prius, but I also don't have to win every little challenge on the roads either. Let the guy in his $40k STi beat me, that's cool. I wouldn't want his car payment. The positive things about a Fox...

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    haha....every video I see on YouTube of a new-ish car breaking while racing I try to imagine how they could explain it to the dealer. It's a fun game.

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    I've never been to the dragstrip, and I'll probably never go. I just want a fun car that is loud and relatively fast...at least faster than the cars of similar age/price. Obviously an average Fox won't beat a Coyote or other modern fast cars, but I'm perfectly fine with that.

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    Some of you guys said that the Foxes aren't fast by todays standards, and I won't argue with you there...but really, in my price range of $3500 and under I think it's the fastest, most fun car I can get. I can get a Civic/Integra and those are fun in corners, but also painfully slow. Those...

    i know but listen....if I bring a Camaro home, I'd be disowned. and the T/A is more sexier

    New Guy Looking For A 5.0 Fox To Be My Dd In The Near Future

    I never got that beater Civic, and am still shopping for a DD Stang.....but it's funny I actually just added the LS1 Trans Am to my list. they are going for around $9000 + here tho. not really 'beater' pricing. I can pick up an LT1 for like $4000 - $5000 tho. I know they aren't as prized as...
