the reason my truck gets that kind of gas mileage is cause its a 1972 chevy cheyenne with a 350 it it. i don't know any trucks from 67 - 72 that get better than 12mpg. so of course at the least 20 mpg is going to be awesome from what i have to deal with. with all the extra money i will save i will be able to put more mods on the Mustang i get.

the only way you are gonna get any powr from a pre 99 is to do port/polish job on the heads, intakes, and a nice cam with the basic bolt ons, then you will have nice power.

DO NOT AND I REPEAT STRONGLY DO !!!! NOT !!!! BUY AND AUTOMATIC they suck and are slow, no fun to drive .... you will regret it if you do. the 94-mid 96 had head gasket issues but no other major issues for the v6s.

99-00 had pvc valve issues and oil got into the upper, to much of it, so buy a 01 up

I realise ur not planning to mod...but thats what we all said at first...and it is common knowledge that the same mods on a 94-98 have weilded higher returns then a 99+. Get the new intake on the 94-98 and you'll be making more then a 99+ does with a modded intake of their own.

That's because the 94-98 intake was more restrictive to begin with though, right?

a pre 99 with p&p upper and lower, Shorty Headers, Mac CAI, UnderDrive Pullies, Flowmasters is going to net you about 35hp~ and 25-30tq or about 3-4 tenths faster than stock or around a 15.9 15.7s with a good 60 ft (2.1 or so) where ever you got th 15.1 is a damn nice track with perfct alt and condition i need to come run damn i might get low 14s.
