Hey guys,
I'm going to buy my midlife crisis car in the spring and I’m looking for advice/feedback. I'm close to 40 and I've had some Mustangs in the past but never been able to buy what I really want because of insurance costs when I was younger and then having kids. My first car was an 86 2.8 Capri, then I had a 2000 3.8 Mustang in college (hence my username) and recently had an 89 GT lowered with full BBK exhaust. I've had Japanese sportbikes (my gauge for fast) and I have a Softail Deluxe now so this Mustang doesn't need to be the fastest most badass Mustang in world. In college I had a chance to ride in a 2000 Cobra R and that will always be the benchmark for any Mustang. That 2000 Cobra R was just amazing because I felt like I was riding in a true street legal race car. I’d like something that can recreate that Cobra R feeling but balance with creature comforts since my wife will want A/C and leather. This will be a sunny weather only car and I plan to keep the car for a long time since I’ve waited 20+ years to get my dream Mustang but resale value would be nice (never know when life changes may force a sale). Below is my list of Mustangs I'm considering but let me know what you think and I’m definitely open to suggestions. I plan to add a full exhaust and lowering springs as my only mods (my Harley has straight pipes so loud is good in my book).
