New here, and this is my first post/reply. Looking forward to new information, and opinions as I get into my search for my first Mustang.

I wrote that not knowing where I was at, or where I was going on here. I think I replied to someone, as opposed to starting a thread.

Welcome. Buy a car and post some pics. Lots of input here. Some useful, some useless. You'll get some laughs from the useless stuff though

Thanks! Would like to get some more info before I do buy one though. What are your thoughts on the GT performance package level 2? I didn’t know it existed until a couple of days ago, after seeing a couple for sale. The suspension setup on that one seems to be right up my alley. Also considering whatever I buy will have a supercharger installed eventually.

Speaking jibberish to me man. Sounds like you are after something new(er)? If you have questions about certain years you can ask questions in the corresponding forums. Some guys jump around forums, I usually stay in my lane.

Thanks lol. Yeah, something newer. That GT performance package level 2 came on ‘18-‘20 GT’s. I asked a couple of questions in that corresponding ‘15-‘23 forum/thread.

You said you tend to stay in your lane. Which lane is that? Classic Mustangs?

If you can afford one, buy one that says Shelby on it
I love my '69 Boss 302 and bought it for 1800 bucks in 1979
Note: the carbureted cop car1984 HO Mustang GT would do 85 in second gear
The 1985 fuelly HO would only do 72 in second gear
+1 for the supercharger
I've many a story to tell about some of those
