Hm, I know N/A's are slow but something might be wrong with yours?slow88stang said:Why the hell did the ford company think it would be a good idea to put a 2.3l N/A into a mustang. 4 banger stangs remind me of tanks, unless it is turboed it feels like your trying to move a dump truck with 30 horsepower its a complete slug. why couldnt they stick with the same 3.8 that is in the t-birds or something similar to it because i just hate my N/A 2.3. i constantly get beat by cavaliers, hondas, and other stupid family cars.

kiddiccarus said:Wow complaining about my 2.3 N/A would be like taking a sledge hammer to its hood and windshield. I have never had a problem with my 93 that didn’t take more than a couple of hours to correct. I think that ford had a gold mine that they lost when they quit making the 2.3 in either N/A or Turbo. Yeah we all could recommend a couple of things for the production models to run better either it be suspension, drive train, or ground weight. I am working on my SVO block presently to have it ready for the day I drop it in but until then I will swear by my N/A and keep her purring like she is and already by the way over 300,000. When I get the motor out it will become a part of a one seated dune buggy and live on. Why take a V-8 daily driver that will not only hit your wallet in insurance but in gas money also. Now throw on a male 16 yr old driver and watch that insurance skyrocket. There are many reasons to have the 2.3 N/A, T, or a V-6 over the V-8, but it all comes down to what your personal preference is and what your willing to give in return for your pleasure. I couldn’t wait to drop in a massive stroked V-8 into my 93 until I was shown the street and strip potential of the 2.3 T. Now like others I am not looking to be the King of the Hill here but I will be spreading the word by performance and showing the V-8 crowd that as long as there are people like us the SVO will breathe life in many body styles for years to come.

Think about it, not everyone wanted a 5.0, some people might say its too fast, but they like the mustang body, so they buy a 2.3.
Wouldn't you like to own a Ford GT or Shelby, but not pay $150,000 for it? I wish they made a Ford GT with say a V6 that cost around $20,000
