i always thought that there was the v6, v8, gt, mach 1, corba and bullit. but my friend (hes also on here somewhere what up!! lol) said that his dad had called ford and they told him that they havent made a regular v8 for like 8 years or sumthin. is this really true?
 
WTF does a regular V8 mean?

The GT, Mach 1 and Cobra all have V8 engines. What do you mean by 'regular V8'?
 
i really want to get a gt, but i have a next to nothing paying job rite now (im only 17) and theres no way i could get my parents to buy it for me sooo, i was thinkin bout just buying a reg. v8 cuz it would b cheaper and everything on the gt that is different from the reg(exhaust, looks, and comp i think) will all b changed out ne wayz. but since there is no reg v8, i thought of buying a v6 and droppin in a cobra 4v engine. would that work? would i have to modify nething like the mounts? and what about legal issues? my friend said that i mite not b able to cuz i have to go thru the dmv for smog crap and that they mite say no. true or is he just b.sn
 
i think hes talking about an LX 5.0, a regular V8. with none of the skirts and stuff, just a low key mustang with a V8. and no, they havent made them since 93, and i think they should. i would have bought one, but all they had was a GT.
 
Yeah, i think he means 5.0 LX


Back in the fox years, you could get a base model, and then a base model with a V8. It was the same as a GT but just in the base LX body.

Last year of the LX 5.0 was 1993. Now it's just V6, GT, CObra and in 03-04 the Mach 1.

But don't call my little LX a "regular v8" She hates that :)
 
The closest you can get to a "regular V8" is the "GTS" package in 94-95 and the 248a package in 96-98. Both are 6cyl cars outfitted with a V8, but they're still both considered "GT"s.

Good luck, I bought my GT when I was 17 with no help from mommy or daddy.

i HATE it when people call my car just an LX, like they did when i got it. still even today people think nothing of it cause its "just" an LX. no one seems to notice the 5.0 badges on the side i guess. but yeah, i wish they still had this. i should have gotten a 95 GTS, that would have been very cool, very basic car with 5.0 power, doesnt get more 60's muscle car then that.
 
get a 99 gt with no options(no leather, no traction control, no mach stereo, no auto). They all come with power windows locks and most have 17" rims. This is what I got for $9.5k, it needed tires. Or you might be able to get a 97 or 98 cobra for the same price.
 
well i definitely want at least 99 or newer body style. and i want traction control and the mach stereo system lol. but i actually do want cloth interior instead of leather, its just hard to find w/ the rest of the options i want :-(. im just gonna have to save for awhile.
