    Lowering = caster/camber

    I used the Steeda lowering springs. They are not a 1.5 inch drop, but they did the trick and I'm very happy with the handling. It is remarkable that a single mod to suspension on these cars actually does so much; if it were not for the cheap Z rated tires (hard compound) the car would handle...

    Little FR500C Present for ya via Thunder Road

    Had the opp to go to Watkins Glen and get up close to the Mustangs, Multimatic guys and visit with the Zippo Motorsports owner and driver Paul Smith. I spoke with Gunner and Co-Driver James Gue of the 05 Multimatic Mustang as well and met David Empringham. Great bunch of guys. Welcomed us...

    Mitsubishi 2006 Eclipse

    I'll add in why it would seem the Eclipse was put up against the V6 instead of the GT. Those are horrid performance numbers for a car with 263HP. The Mustang has 53 less HP and still pushes the same numbers in the 1/4 - or it's got to be close. Look at my ET with 204 BHP and the crap 60 foot -...

    Who got the best deal on a V6/GT hardtop?

    Dealers in NJ are selling at or below MSRP for the most part. PA may not be much different, but you have to look for them. Try a search on Ford's site via zip and then start calling. Ask them FLAT out if they sell for sticker and honor plans. Find about three in one area - or reasonably close to...

    Bought a 99 V6 Today

    Toss in 3:73's and you can still take it to 90 in third... and chirp 4th through the traps. You'd be about 700 over redline so a chip is needed. I've owned a 5.0 and the V6 is so close to the stock power level. It's all I needed at the time. I moded right away for looks and a minor power...

    Winter Beaters

    No, no - that one was an 84 and a sure fire gonner. The one in the first post is an 86 I picked up about 1 month after the accident. I was pretty messed up with the head injury and when my wife wasn't paying attention I bought three more SVO's. The 1E (Silver) and the 2R...

For over 3 weeks Pok has a silver V6 and a black GT and Highland has 2 redfire GT's. Both these lots compare to...

    I notified my insurance that i own a GT now rather than a V6...

    Ha, I've been hit 11 times now - the key words being "been hit" - The last one was near fatal. My Mustang had nothing to do with the sevarity of the accident, as I was going about 10 miles per hour just leaving a light - -According to witnesses at the scene I was "barraling down the road"...

    Sway Bar/Sub-Frame Connectors

    Maximum Motorsports Sub Frame Connectors GT or TC Sway Bar Forced4 Motorsports PLA Strut Tower Brace I used the full length MM sub frames on my 84 SVO and it made a huge difference in how the car felt. Odly enough cornering was where I felt the most difference. Z.

    Rear end noise.

    I second the above post. I had my car into the shop for an intermittent throw out bearing noise and they had it in the air, running and went all over the back of the engine and entire length of the tranny with a steth. They ended up replacing Pilot bushing, bearing and throw out. Didn't get a...

    Why get a V6 over a GT? doesnt make sense....

    He's not far off Silver. I pay $150 per month for three cars. 02 Stang, 86 SVO and 02 Turbo Bug. I had the Sliver 84 insured for a while and it added $48 per month to the policy. Rates very from state to state and company to company. Each person is going to be pre-assesed in some way or...

    2.3 turbo-2.3 SVO clone?

    If you look you can come across SVO's for reasonable money. You will get what you pay for, but buying the package can make the difference. In a way, the 84 2.3T is more rare than the SVO. The only other car of the year that beats them both out is the aniversary model. So - Find the 2.3T car...

    horizontal vs vertical

    I may have missed the pole, but I can give my opinion. I never liked the horizonal lights. Sorry. Just not Mustang. Even less so than the Fox, and that rendition was as far away from Mustang heritage in every aspect a modle could be... by name and power plant alone - we were told it was a...

    Why get a V6 over a GT? doesnt make sense....

    I don't think you are going to hear much negative about your decision all things concidered, specially because it involves the well being of your son. I'm 30 and had the opp to get anything I wanted. I still bought the 6 because it had all the power of my old 5.0, the awesome looks of 99+...

    svo's

    This thread was hard for me to read, but the truth is the truth. Plain and simple. I like to encourage people when it comes to these cars, but realistically you really need to do as much research as you can before you get into one. It’s a true collector’s car not in the sense of age or even...

    Lower Intake sensors

    *lol* Kid - you nailed it on the head. Turd is the word. If you looked at all the pictures, you may have figured out that it's going to be stripped and painted. The car is being as fully restored as it can be without removing absolutely everything. As for the lower intake, the XR is much the...
