Mustang Foxbody that is.

90' gt 5 speed.

150k

ac blowss bbbuuurrrrrr COLD

Oxford white with grey interior silver ponies.

I was driving her today and got her side ways a few times with no effort.

My neighbor who rarely gets scared got a little today when I took him for a spin.

It's a quick mofo for what it is.

Mods: K&N cone, bassani x pipe with turn downs, pony rims, lx tail lights, short throw shifter, and clear corner lights.

It's really an unmolested other than stereo changes car with a clean title.

So what should I do to her? I was told by two people to pain the rims black I was thinking white.

Nitrous?

So here's a pic of the POS what do you guys think?

How about replacing the 5.0 with a nice 351 Cleveland? You think it's fast now............

Nice stang Sal. That makes what, 3 of them total? I'd say turn her into a fairly quick daily driver. The aid of EFI will give you a nice boost in fuel economy, plus you got A/C, P/S, P/B, ect. The addition of a little giggle gas couldn't hurt either (well, maybe )!

As soon as I find a set of 3.73's cheap I'll do that for sure.

331 with s trim and only 165 and 4.10's not good combo just go up in smoke and when it does catch it'll rev high and the 165 won't be able to support the demand.

347 185's T trim R block 3.27 or 3.55's.

BTW how do you figure 5 speeds like 4.11's?
It all needs to balanced out to keep it in the power band.
