I ma about 40 minutes from pittsburg,i live in a town called point marion near uniontown. I didn't really notice in the engine compartment. I'm gonna order my exhaust soon. I'm going long tubes,o/r x,cat back. Any opinions?
That is EXACTLY the same thing I was thinking. I have a feeling the '05 is gonna be really great, I might save up for that. If I don't like it, I buy the last of the '04's. I am too much in love with my '01 to give it up now, especially the way she sings at 4K RPM. :-D :coolman:Originally posted by Daniel Moran
Nino, my 01 is a yellow coupe also. I talked to my dealer today and for a G note downstroke I can reserve his last allotted 03 from the first batch, my color choice and, at or near MSRP. I did some soul-searching on the subject, took an hour walk and decided to keep my 01. It looks too good and runs too sweet. It has no mods and will likely get none. I figure in 18 months the car mags will be plastered with photos of the next gen (2005) mustang and if it sucks I'll get a late production example of the current blown cobra. By then it ought to be debugged and the best mods will be well documented. Given the effort Ford put into the 03 It's likely Ford will have even more juice in the 05 (blown 5.0 32v ?). I agree that the dealers will be on the lookout for pullies or exhaust work on the 03s and may be quick to void warranties. The Lightning crowd may have some input on this.
If I'm worried that people will say "hey you had to buy it supercharged to beat me" then I'll say "so?" Seems simple. Either that or I'll take it to aricer spot and pop the hood and tell them I did it myself. They'll never know.

And run the risk of one of them knowing the truth, then being labeled a complete bullshit artist for the rest of your life.
But then bullshit artists run that risk all the time anyway, don't they.
Don't have to convince me :-D, I know the right answer. Problem is we have a two car garage and I can't fathom parking such a rare and beautiful car, outside for the South Texas elements to destroy (and before you say it, I won't be parking the wife's Infiniti outside either...LOL). Besides, I can take comfort that someone else will get to enjoy the '98, as much as I do...:thumbsup:Originally posted by DLV
Now I just have to work on Jimbo keeping his '98, whether or not he gets an '03.:thumbsup:
