    are 1999 mustangs reliable???

    Actually, Consumer Reports rated the Mustang "the most reliable American car" for 2004, which is the same as the '99 model (I know you know that '66. That was for the new guy's benefit if he didn't already know that. :) ) The breakdown of problems per 100 cars for 2004 was: Asian: 12...

    Tampa Area Car Show/Meet

    Hey, glad you are considering coming... and definately bring all your friends :). Oh, and good idea contacting all the local clubs. I've posted this on several forums, so I'm actually hoping for more than 50 cars, but we'll see... as long as there's a lot of Mustangs :D. Also, I went to the...

    Tampa Area Car Show/Meet

    Hey guys, Obviously this is for the guys that live near Tampa, like OxMox, Engage, 66, etc. Although, if you want to drive a ways, you can. :D Anyway, My chuch is planning a car show for Sunday, March 5, so I figured this could be a good time for some of us to get a meet together. You...

    99 hood on a 96

    In order to do the "Split Port Swap," that cruisin is talking about, you need to swap the heads, and intake manifolds, as well as modify the fuel rail among other things. It's pretty complicated, but you would pick up a lot of power, that's for sure. Oh, and no, the hood won't fit.

    sponsorship???

    Yeah, every car I've heard with Pypes exhaust sounds like absolute crap. 2V's, 3V's, you name it, it sounds like total garbage.

    Your cars other than your Mustang

    What kind of mileage are you getting in your Fox. When I checked, mine was getting ~25mpg in city-ish driving. Pretty dang good considering it was only rated at 21mpg when it was new 13 years ago. :D BTW, dang are these things SLOW. One day, I'm gonna hook up my GTECH just to get an idea of...

    Your cars other than your Mustang

    Yeah, for $500, the Notch was a great deal. It has 185k miles, but runs like a top. No problems at all so far. Unfortunately, the paint isn't nearly as good as it looks. The clearcoat is peeling all over the place, but for now, I don't really care how it looks, I'm just interested in it...

    Your cars other than your Mustang

    Picked this up recently to drive because my V6 is still not back together. 1993 LX Coupe 2.3 ... set me back a whole $500. :D

    Longer pushrod question?

    OK, best case scenario is that he gains a little more valve preload and maybe gains a hp or 2 from that, being that the valves would open quicker than they would with slightly less valve preload. The car will not LOPE noticeably more, if at all, because you are not going to get significantly...

    Manual or Automatic?

    Manuals... on all three Mustangs. ...And I wouldn't have it any other way. Auto's have their advantages, but I just don't care for them.

    Front wheel, rear wheel, or all wheel drive?

    Yeah, FWD is inherently HORRIBLE. The same 2 wheels are doing EVERYTHING. Driving the car, braking the car, and steering the car. Performance wise, it's a stupid idea. Plus, FWD burnouts are gay. :D
