My buddy is looking to get a GT covertible. I'm steering him towards at least a '99 because they're so much better than '96 to '98. Although, he found a '97 Dream Cruiser Convertible GT. The miles are really low and the price is pretty low too. I've seen these cars before and know they're white with racing stripes and borla side exhaust. I can't find any stats on the cars. Does anyone know what they did to the car performance wise? I here they were made in the Livonia Ford plant. Also, how much horsepower and torque did they make?
He met some guy at his work that had one that told him that it came with all kinds of stuff from the factory and that it was probably making 280 horsepower and would probably keep up with my '98 Cobra. I was a little skeptical. Any truth to this claim of 280 horsepower from a car that was born with 215 horsepower stock? (Also they were not supercharged or anything serious, it would be only minor bolt-ons). It doesn't seem like Ford would have done much more than stripes and exhaust for a special edition car like this. Anybody know anything?
