Simple solution OP.........el es juanohh noes i didnt just bring this into teh thread .
if you dont mind driving around a car that looks like an aborted fetus, LS1 is the way to goo for straight line speed
I'm not saying the S197 is perfect, but as far as shortcomings go, it's got far fewer of them than it's predecessor.
man if we were all in the same room right now talking about this i think it would be a big brawl lol.
just figured something out why must we have topics like this come up about beating other stangs? are we cannibals guys?
2008-1996 = 12, plus you can get get a 98 for the same price. And are we talking about interior, build quality, and reliability again Gearbanger?:Zip2:
that's certainly your opinion...but it's not mine...
if you like that S197s better good for you, but I don't...I'm not trying to change anybody's mind or bicker with folks, I just think it's a shame Ford made the new Mustang too dang big...
and whos the moderator? is it Gearbanger, dude, this thread is getting fellow stangers to bash on one another. and i joined this place cause it was real peaceful. and plus, this thread has been beaten down more times than a hooker.
What you see as bashing, I see as spirited conversation. If anyone here really gets out of hand, myself or one of the other Forum Moderators will put a stop to it, but thus far other than a little petty rivalry and some pissing and moaning from a couple of members nobodies really gotten out of line yet.
If we can keep it mature and informative it will stay open. If people are going to get petty and confrontational and purposely try to screw it into the ground, we’ll lock it down and the offenders will be dealt with!
Who's "pissin & moaning"? Just curious...
well, someone did say, "get Bent" but
ok, i will trust what you say, i just dont want everyone around here like this, such as, if i have a question about my car, a heated debate stirrs up when i really need a quick answer. but, alrighty.
Count the model years again....feel free to take off your socks and use your fingers and toes if you'd like. New cars go on sale mid year during the year preceding their designation, therefore a '96 Mustang could be bought in the later months of '95. It's now half way thought the 2008 run, soon coming up on the '09 models which means the '96 bought new would now be considered a 13-years old car, not a 12-years old car.
So maybe you need to :Zip2:
oh please, so i guess it's more like 12.5 years - cuz even if the car was made in early 95 (which it wasn't) it doesn't see too much wear and tear on the dealer floor
And you can take your warranty and newer parts plus $5 and get a cup of coffee with it, cuz when you line the cars up it doesn't matter if it's an 09' or a 64.5' - what matters is what finishes first. I'm just saying if that's what your factoring - it can be done better for cheaper
Not without making compromises and in this case, it's lifespan. You're choosing to build an older car that’s now closer to the end of its life, than the beginning in order to fulfill your performance desires. And from that respect, since you’re starting with an aged vehicle, that’s already been devalued 13-years then sure you can duplicate, or exceed the performance of the newer model for less. But you’re still making sacrifices in order to do so. In this case it’s warranty, vehicle lifespan, reliability, general wear and tear and even resale value.I'm just saying if that's what your factoring - it can be done better for cheaper
that seriously.........could not have been said better. and that is what matters. what finishes FIRST.

But just because you’re willing to do it that way, doesn’t make it the right choice. It’s just simply a union of your personal preference combined with what you financial standing at a given point in time that makes your decision for you. When it comes right down to it though, from all practical standpoints, newer is still always the better choice!
