Hey Guys, I just joined after poking around here from time to time, so I thought I'd just say hi!

I've been a huge Mustang/Ford fan ever since I was a kid when my mom worked for MM&FF and I'd get to read all the issues for free... but no mustang yet, although recently I've started more actively looking since it seems like everyone around me has one! So if you know anyone in the New England area selling a 94-95 5.0 with a 5 speed let me know!
thanks...

Welcome!

I am from North Attleboro, MA. I lived there until I was 8 and then moved to FL. I was surprised to see your location lol. I go back every year with my family to our summer house and there's hardly any stangs around up there. :flag:

hardly any?? you kiddin, there are like 5 on my street alone! (i could name them off the top of my head too... silver 03 cobra, a 94-5 yellow GT, a 94-5 green gt, a teal hatchback, and a white 99) thats whats pushing me to find one, well that and my friend just got a 65 coupe that he's restoring. :D

nah no offense but i don't like white cars, too tough to keep clean, thanks anyway though, and I was specifically looking for something close to stock so I could do the work myself (the fun part) :D

white cars hard to keep clean?? thats the first time i heard that in a while. try keeping a black car clean and scratch free :nonono:

oh trust me I know what thats like too, my truck is black and every few months I take a shot at trying to buff out all the tree branch scratches i get from going down too tight of trails, you'd think i'd learn but oh well :bang:

What do you have against 93?

Thought I'd ask since it was the only year you singled out!

Well I figured I def wanted mass air and a good hp starting point. Then I read that 93's had cast pistons(vs forged) and got 20 less horespower (205 vs 225). You have a cobra though so thats a different story(235 stock I believe).

the 93 were rated at 225 on a GT and the 94-95 were underrated at 215, we actually have the same as them Foxes. Dont get lost in the rumors yet bro, you are just getting started :nice:

haha, alright then thanks for clearing that up, thats why im here, for information...
 
Yeah I've heard that too about the pistons. I'm not sure how acurate that is. The Cobra I know is different, but as far as the GT I think they were rated a 225. I also pretty sure that the same engine was carried over to the 94-95 models. Not too sure, but whatever you decide I'm sure you'll be happy!
