I currently own a 2001 ZX2 but my brother will be getting it in a year or 2 and i am concidering getting a used (97 at the latest) Mustang GT, can anyone give me any information about problems or perks about them by i get one? i'd also like to know how hard is it to mod them.
Concidering a GT
- Thread starter ZX2Down
- Start date
Go with a 94-95, you get the 5.0, much easier to mod in my opinion than the 4.6. of course, I'm a bit biased...BTW, you should keep the ZX2 for autox'ing too!:thumbsup:
Buy a 99+ model if you get one. I'll sell you my '01 (mods included if you'd like) for a fair price ;-)
well i have 4yrs of payments left on the Z and and my bro will be turning 16 soon, as soon as he gets a job that pays enought to take over the payments the z is his and i hope to have enought to get a used GT i'd like to have something that isnt hard to get into high 13's and im in PA so i have to worry about emissions

Hmmmmm....well I have a 2001 GT, (see avatar picture).
I, too am in PA (Pittsburgh) & have to worry about emissions, so there are cats on my Bassani X-Pipe.
There are other mods ;-) & I guarantee you 13's! Bolt on a 9psi Vortech, throw 3.73 gears in the rear-end, & I bet it will skip the 12's & hit the 11's! I'm looking to get rid of it....car is immaculate. I'm looking at an '03 Cobra or perhaps the upcoming '04. PM if you'd like to talk....
Yes if you can afford it, go with a 99+GT. They run about a second faster in the 1/4 due to better heads and intake. 96-98 were dogs stock, low 15's. 94-95 5.0 might be your best bet since they're so easy to mod, and relatively cheap too. :beer:
like i said in a year or 2 so i'll try and aim for the 99+ models when the time comes
'94/95

can anyone give me the stock, spec.'s for the GT?
What year? They are all unique in their own ways. 94-95 are 5.0s, 96-98 are weak 4.6's, 99+ just keep going faster ;-)
the 5.0's and the latest GT, thanx for the reply
The 5.0's (94-95) put down 215hp. The 96-98 (4.6) put down 215-225hp. In 99 the horsepower went up to 260. :beer:
thanx
can anyone recomend a really good GT forum?
StangNet.com
thanx hillie

/me's catching them armadillys' and hurling them back yur way!!!!!!! lol!!!/
Hey, am i wrong..but I thought my GT came Stock w/ only about 180 at the rear wheel...('94Verte) and after my mods, (NOT since the exaust and a few others ) but about a year ago, I had about 220/ rw .
Are ya'll talking at the rear wheel or fly wheel?
Wanting to do another dyno soon.. just to know.

what black geetee said was the correct flywheel numbers
if u wanted to know the rwhp # then u'd subtract i believe 15-25% to compensate for the drivetrain loss (if I'm not mistaken).
