hi everyone!
Very close to purchasing a triple black 98 vert with 44k.(this owner has had it for 4 years and only put 4-5k on it)This was garaged kept and shelved for winter but will be my daily driver. This is a list of the modifications done to the car.
K&N air filter, Pro-M mass air meter, Summit adjustable shift light,Fidanza aluminum flywheel with larger diamater Ford Racing clutch from the Terminator Cobra's,Steeda adjustable clutch quadrant and cable,TK Racing custom subframe connectors, 4.10 rear gears,Line locs on the front brakes, Russell braided stainless brake hoses front and rear,Cross drilled rotors front and rear,Better than stock brake pads front and rear ( I think I used Hawk if I remember correctly ),Pro 5.0 short throw shifter,Flomaster mufflers.
Okay now for my questions;
A.I'm extremely limited in my mechanic-ship, so I can't look at the car and see if anything is broken...but I drove it for a bit and it feels smooth, no drift, no pinging, idle is steady, no rust that I can see anywhere, no pings, dents, oil is clean(also looking inside looked clean as well) - Is there anything I should be looking for, or be worried about going in the near future? Again this will be my DD so I want to know ahead of time if the engine is gonna fall out next week!
B. What type of 1/4 would a average/good driver expect with that set up(if I was driving it would probably get lost
C. If you werebuy this car. What would be your next step if you were gonna modify it? Would getting a tune(perhaps one with the variable presets) be worth it? or maybe pullies?
thanks so much for any wisdom you can share!!!
