my grandad has a 95 mustang gt and he's talking about handing it down to me. it's black with a black interior and a black convertible top 5.0 5 speed chrome cobra rims and a couple of minor mods. he's going to give it to me since he'll still have his roush. my question is do do i leave the interior alone. i live in GA and the summers get really hot esp. w/ black leather. also how would you mod it? what would it take to beat the roush?

Wrong, 95 was the last year of the 302 5.0 in Mustangs.

Just tint the windows. As long as your A/C works fine, black leather is managable.

It's a low 12 second car with a good driver. With grandpa maybe a little slower.
A good H/C/I swap with traction should get you in front of him.
Or a SC w/ 8-12lbs of boost should do it also. (Just change the intake)

if it's a low 12 car then it'll run low 12's when he's racing it.
H/C/I? i don't think i've seen that term, but i usually hang out in the 2.3 forum
