    4 lug 10th Anniversary Cobras??

    Ya know the more I see stock Mustang wheels that are 5-lug the more I have been wanting to type this post in reply. Why don't these companies just design a unique 4 lug wheel that's made just for the Fox Body guys. Just be nice to see something on a fox other than another Ford wheel. Ford does a...

    Motortrend just tested the NA 2010 Mustang and got a 13.7

    You said everything I would've said. The Mustang outsold the Camaro and Trans Am combined and the F-bodies were faster than the Mustang. Then the Camaro was put to rest after 2002 until now. Yeah 1/4 mile time are important to us freaks but remember that 50% of Mustang sales are V6s sold to...

    BEFORE you butcher a 4 eye... (56k beware)

    Well I see someone posted a side view of my blue notch above...Here's a couple more along with some misc. pics.... Here's a shot of it when I bought it with 50,500 miles on it back in 1999 pretty much all stock.... For a short time I had to drive it every day just as you see it here. DRs...

    how many of you are excited?

    Well I'm pretty stoked about the car. I always liked the 1969-1970 Mustangs the best. The 1969 Mustang in particular is a car I've always wanted to build a g-Machine out of. The new Mustang styling is inspired by the 69-70 Stangs and looks aggressive. I think the bottom of the front and rear...

    GT-40 heads HP increase...

    I bought a crate 302 from Downs Ford a few years ago that was producing 320 hp. at the crank. Stock 93-95 Cobra shortblock (stock cobra cam), GT40X heads, 1.7 rockers, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, Holley 650, and longtube headers. Not bad for off the shelf parts and a stock shortblock...

    2010 Mustang?

    Like anything new it will take time to adjust. Anytime I thought I didn't like a new car's styling - I'd later see it in person and think to myself - that actually looks better than I thought it would. I think the back of the car is angled out towards the bottom a little too much - kinda like a...

    Cobra emblems on a non-Cobra

    Hey as mentioned it is YOUR car and it really doesn't matter what others think. But since you are asking, I wouldn't put the snake on. It's been done and done and done.... Clean will always look good. Now if you need a badge - somebody mentioned the SVT badge on the back - how about no badge on...

    The thread of the nicest FOXES!

    Here's a pic of my daily driver. I put about 60 miles a day on it. I drive on the bullitts but put my Billet Drag wheels on it for a couple days to see what it'd look like and after that I didn't want to take 'em off!!! J

    Shaving Moldings?

    It looks fantastic with no moldings and molding details on the blue notch. The sides of the car between the wheel well moldings is filled in and smoothed nicely. The bumpers don't match up perfectly and look a little bulky since it appears the molding wasn't removed just covered over. I have a...

    A Foosed Fox?

    I thought you'd like that!!!! You and I need to talk, I'd like to get specifics on how you fit that 9 and 10 wide on that car. I'm finishing up an SN95 swap article for a publication and any additional tips and info over what I already have couldn't hurt. Also, I'd like to put something up on...

    A Foosed Fox?

    Like Foose, I know I'd do some unique body mods that are tasteful and nicely integrated into the fox body styling. Honestly, here's a few basic ideas for things I'd do to one... Start out with an 87-93 Mustang hatchback LX 18x9 front 18x12 rear (mini tub) ...not 20's, they are too big...

    GMP MUSTANG WHEEL SWAP

    ....by the way, the Welly cars are OK for the price. I'd have bought a few to customize but I thought the body shape was a little too far off for me. Also, the blue is not an OEM color - looks like grabber blue to me.

    GMP MUSTANG WHEEL SWAP

    Here's the GMP guy! Yes, Saleens would be awesome. There's nothing on the schedule YET - but I need to ask you guys a question first... If you had to choose, which one would you rather have first if it could only be one or the other right now... 1 - 87-93 Saleens or... 2 - 87-93 LX...

    Why do we love fox bodies?

    Yeah I agree on the reliability comment. I distinctly remember reading a newspaper article in the early 90's talking about the top 10 most reliable engines of the time. There were a bunch of japanese engines listed but I remember that the efi 5.0 Ford engine beign #4 I think. I thought that was...

    Why do we love fox bodies?

    ...Yeah the Nostalgia thing definately. 1990 High School Grad here. I lusted after the 5.0 cars for years. Always liked the 85-86 noses and the notchbacks were king! J

    Why do we love fox bodies?

    I agree whole-heartedly about the above quote. It's also been said a few times before that the 5.0 Mustang is the 55 Chevy of the 80's and 90's. It's just got that what I call the "magic muscle car formula"... V8+Rear drive+Cheap+Fast+Simple = Muscle Car The Mustang has always had the...
