they were only wider by like an 1" and thats only on the GT models i believe behind the ground effects, but a dremel or a die grinder fixes that problem quickly

LX's had wider fenders too. they did it to clear the 16" pony's that came out in 91

my guess is there will be close to no more posts by this guy
and this thread will go on for days
seen it all too often
but just in case you actually ever get a stang

theres about nine million threads on what you should do first,and everyone will have a different answer
exhaust,sfc,cai,hci,suspension,spray,supercharger,tb,yada yada yada

do what you can afford and what you want

Questions are getting a bit ridiculous IMO, oil? 10-30 and run autozone generic (they're 16+ year old cars synthetic is pointless at this point) Interstate racing-1. HIGHLY stupid and 2. Leave that for the ricers we need less of them anyways if they want to hit someone doing 140mph+ that's their death.

Each cars going to have different issues, do some research and pick which year/model is best for whatever your attempting

Not trying to be a dick, just trying to get you to use google a bit.

actually you'll find that most of us here are law abiding when it comes to our cars and use the proper venues to enjoy our projects i.e. the track and road course

Use the search function. Every question you have, has probably been covered a hundred times.

oil weight depends on engine mileage. high mileage engine (100k+), i'd recommend 10w40 conventional. less than 100k, 10w30 conventional. if it's really low mileage, run a 10w30 synthetic. i run synthetic in my car, but i didn't start using it until i rebuilt my motor. before i rebuilt it i ran 10w40 conventional because the motor had around 145k on it.

when checking mustangs, look for any rust obviously, especially on frame rails. a notorious spot on these cars is under the hood, below the brake booster/master cylinder on the fender apron/subframe. get under the car and check out the floor pans and condition of the torque boxes (where the rear upper and lower control arms attach to the body). check for any hacks, especially wiring hacks as those can be a nightmare. last but not least, see if the ashtray door works.
