Ok I will have to post this in two different sections just to get fair feedback...

Should I trade my 1995 Mustang GT:

Good:
306 with about 4,000 miles on a freshened up motor (rebuilt heads, new bearings and rings, all premium gaskets, all new bolts washers and nuts, new water pump, oil pump, oil pan, thermostat, belts, hoses)
New rack and pinion/Tie rods
New Altenator
Holley Heads
MSD 6AL
MSD Blaster Coil
MSD ProBillet Distributor
Eddlebrock Upper and Lower
BBK 65mm Throttle Body
EGR deleted edlebrock elbow
Cold air intake/K&N Conr Filter
Phenolic Manifold Spacer
Chrome Valve Covers
Heat-wrapped BBK Longtubes
Full 2.5" exhaust
24# Injectors
ProFlow MAF
4.10 Gears
Tremmec 3650
Zoom Stage 3 Ceramic Cluth with stock replacement flywheel
Unknown cam
TweecerRT Tuning
Decent Interior

Bad:

SLOW only runs 13.80 @102 with everything above

For a near bone stock 2000 GT Bright red, flawless paint, convertible with a/c 109k on the clock

I would say fix and paint yours... But hey I am trying to trade mine for a 68 FB rust bucket that hasnt ran in 22 years. So I guess I am the wrong one to ask.

maybe it not being tuned is why youre running 13.8s... the car should be a low 13 to mid 12 car, IMHO... i would personally put the new mounts it, i think on corral you can send in your tranny + a few bucks to have your tremec upgraded... i couldve sworn i just saw a post about it..

also if im not mistaken, 4.6 motor is more expensive to mod than a 5.0... parts are easier to come by for our cars...

again thats just me, but i think your car has plenty of potential from teh list that you provided... good lucK!

Im with Infiniti, fix your problems slowly and your car sounds like it would be a pretty decent runner. I personally think modding at 4.6 would suck, but Im not huge on the overhead cam style engines. I prefer simplicity, that or Im just lazy.

if your looking for a headache free fun ride then i'd say trade but if you want something you can tinker with i'd say keep the 95

95BlueStallion · Oct 21, 2008

Well and something else that just crossed my mind was the mileage you said the 4.6 had. You can bet that it is going to need the proper preventative maintenance done as well, so I think you will be doing repairs either way. Probably wont be as drastic as your current car, but with 109K on the clock I would think a good tune up is in order unless the previous owner stayed on top of it.

Trade it. Move on...the fresh car will give you a new outlook, do it while youcan
