I just bought a 89 LX 5.0 5spd. Notchback I guess from what I've read in the last week or so (it's trunk not hatch). It is in very good condition and I was very impressed by the power during the test drive.

Currently its running 373 gears, F303 cam, 2.5" pipes no cats, oversized pulleys, lowered 2", not exactly sure what else or what all of this means. I'll have more details when I get the car. Obsessed with the stang already and I don't even get to pick it up until Weds next week

It's definitely going to take some getting used to because the most powerful rwd car I've driven is my bros 240sx which is currently pushing around 200rwhp with his current setup.

So, this is my first stang and any pointers or advice in general would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and the car is the factory light green....ew! That can be fixed easily though.

great buy, bet you cant wait to race your bro huh.

mine made 214 RWHP stock. you have more mod's so if your engine is as healthy you should have no trouble with that 240.

Oversized pullies are underdrive pullies they are oversized(bigger) so they Underdrive(spin slower) the engine...so he was right in saying that....if you

it should be easy to spot you then, I'll keep an eye out for ya.
If you're in the GTA, you might want to check out the Mustang club here, lots of great stuff going on all summer.

Thanks for the feedback guys Yes, I'm near the GTA. closer to Ajax, if you are familiar with areas east of T.O.

I'll definitely have to check into the Mustang club. But first thing is first, I gotta get the car Only couple more days though
