I can pay cash for this car.
http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...e&rdpage=thumb
I'm feeling a little 2v'ish right about now.
It looks pretty solid besides pic 7, i don't know what that jeep interior is about but other than that i think i could pull that off pretty easily. Like I could get that soon. Even though I wanted an LS1 F-Body, i mean I could compensate for that price. You know?
Whatcha think?
whats the deal with the dash pic its from a different car lol
yea i know, thats why I said i dunno about pic 7 looks like the dash from a old ass grand cherokee or something. But the Gt looks solid otherwise. what do you thnk about it?Quote:

Ill snap a couple of photos of my buddies S/C Gt and post them for you to check out. but you should try and find a cobra. the motor is strong in it forged internals. But a nice Ls1 would be great too couple more dollars you can pick one up. but looks to be a solid car.
Complete POS
Yea man, I might have to make a call about that thing, looks real clean. Cobra's out of my price range though champ, those things cost a lot i'd get one if i could 4v's pwn. Not trying to spend over like, 8k, so this gt is kind of a good deal it seems.Quote:

Ls1 will put better numbers down anytime of the day. Even if you pick up a LT-1 you could put couple dollars into the motor and have a pretty nice setup. stock for stock other than gears in both cars my Lt-1 would slowly pull on my buddy's 03 GT. My buddy regrets getting his Gt after seeing what a cammed Ls-1 will do. Even with his S/C a ss With long tubes will pull on him. but if you dig the car it doesnt matter what everyone else thinks. But i will say the car is clean. But if your looking for power Ls-1 is the way to go. Lt-1 and Ls-1 love juice and boost.
Dont waste your money. You can find an LS1 for a little more.
Save up!
hm it looks slow :jerkit::jerkit::jerkit:
Front end looks to be a little off. Might have been wrecked. CAR FAX! There might be a reason it's that cheap, even with the mileage
There's some nice spots where the body does not line up. Good eye.Quote:

Yea guys, they need to run a carfax on that bitch before I buy it, body does look a little off when you really look at it. Lotta 2v haters on this site lulz. They are not fast cars (well competitive cars) by any means, but you know, there fun. I'd take one if the price is right. LS1's are not cheap cars (for a 17 year old) I think the GT would be a fun car. Get the 5 spd. get headers, exhaust, lower it, make it look good. Be a fun car. Would be a mid 13 sec. car. Which is enough until I can get what I really want.
id go with a higher milage f body. or even just save up more. if ya think about it after all the mods to the stang youll have spent a lot more $ but still slower than a bone stock f body. just my opinion. hey if u like the car then get it! your only 17 once
Yea I know, two valves are expensive to mod, you buy 4 cams in the 2V instead of 1 in the LS1. Which is a bit of an issue. Because I do wub that cam lope, but you know, it's kind of a toss up, whatever I find a better deal on is fine, they both look good, both are fun and quick i'd be happy with either one probably will be riding around with bolt on's for a while anyways, whatever I can find a better deal on I'll probably pick up.Quote:

truck. Target master 260hp 350 (Goodwrench hecho in Mexico) for the future win. Then I can build a 408 out of my current block if it is a 4-bolter and sonic checks good in the bottom for a 4" stroke.
If you buy any mustang it needs to be a fox, or a really damn good deal. When I sold my truck I wasn't looking for a mustang but a friend of mine told me about a 1996 GT vert for $1500 dollars. So I drive it and continue my search for an F-body. At least now I have a car thats paid for and runs just enough to beat the ricers (just barely enough I might add. Damn non PI motors). Be patient man. Trust me.
Cheap on insurance because it is a V-6 vin number and plenty of power to scare/hurt you... Seriously I hope not though. He lowered the reserve lower than he asked for on SVT due to lack of interest. Here it is http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...clone-11k.html or the ebay ad
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...STRK:MESELX:IT
Or OP you could always buy that one, build you a motor and slap a turbo on it. That or a S/C is really the only way to get power out of those motors.
You. Sign your Cobra's title to me.Quote:

To get my Cobra's title is going to cost you a lot since it is worth its value 3 times over here. Heck you should hear these people asking about it here. It will probably be sold here before I return. ;)
Damn I always get that confused, 2v's have 2 cams i knew that. I bet ya if I got that gt and got bolt on's, gears, and a good tune, and stickier tires i'd be smackin you around.Quote:

Yea, I mean if I do get it, i'm not gonna spend the money to make it really fast until I graduate a college. They are expensive cars to mod for sure. For a while i'll just be ridin around with bolt on's and it'll just look good. I mean, I just want a fun daily driver. Not looking for a 10 sec. car at the moment. Just something cool, that can handle ricers, and can go on the back roads and rip shit up, just a overall fun car.Quote:

Thanks, but no thanks. The cobra is one of my favorite cars out there. When I do get my real one it's gonna be a low mileage, mint condition, authentic Mustang SVT Cobra :devil:.Quote:

Buy the fake one and daily, by the real one and garage it.
Are you talking about the farm truck? Because even with that you might not beat stock LS1s. And Trickflow heads? You have money for that? after all the parts you've said have been added on, you might as well go buy a decent LS1 fbody. I hear my friend bitch all the time how they don't have any affordable and well flowing heads for the 2v engines. I guess they might be putting out a FoMoCo set that flows as good as our LS1 heads, but still, they'll cost you.Quote:

I'm not gonna have a 10 sec. car right now, and if I was it sure as hell wouldn't be a mustang gt. Just want something thats fun and affordable, You cannot get an LS1 F-body for that price or even close to it, thats why i'm lookin at gt's and i had my mind set on a LS1 F-body for a while but, things change.Quote:

I was just using it as an example. I'm not gonna be modding the car that heavily anyways, just bolt on's and a tune for now, i'm not putting all my money into a 2v motor. It's just gonna be a cool dd. Hell, it's an upgrade from what i'm driving now.Quote:

All I did was spend 15 minutes browsing the first few pages of tech... There are several more and I don't know why you are so particular about an M6. I would take an auto LS1 over an old 2v any day of the week!!!
LOL @ Packy, fucking hates gt's. Thanks for all the links man.
They are ok if you are an 16-20 y/o Girl... An LS1 will be more fun for you as you say you wanna just have fun with it...Quote:

i pay 1200 every six months for full coverage on my 99 z. and im 20 so were in the same age bracket. o and i also got a speeding ticket on my record so that dont help
Thats not terribley expensive i mean, not cheap either lol. Ummm, yea how bout I just keep that suburban lol j/k. Ls1 vs. 2v which one will it be. Hmm.Quote:

Yea? I'll have to see what he thinks about that, I was gonna try and pay myself but thats pretty unrealistic at this point. Damn man, insurance is really expensive. God damn.Quote:

I own a newer 07 Stang and have owned a few of each.. Camaro's / Mustangs etc.. and I can tell ya.. Go for a LS1 ANYTHING over a 2v..
Nuff Said.
Get an ls1!!!!
I bought a mustang for my first car knowing that i wasn't going to afford an ls1. So it was either out of an lt1 or mustang.
I regret not getting an lt1.:giveup::brick::brick::uzi::ar: LS1>lt1>mustang
MUSTANGS ARE FOR PUSSYS!
Wait what?:wall::whistle::hide:
Can I ask why? i mean, besides the fact that you can't do much with them mod wise without spending a gabillion dollars? Just like I said, i'm not gonna have a 10 sec. car. Just gonna be something fun to drive everyday. All i'm looking for at the moment, doesn't really matter to me at this point it's a big upgrade from what I drive now, not gonna be modding that heavily anytime soon anyway and it's not like it's gonna be the only "performance" car I ever buy. So it's really whatever is cheaper. i know i'll be better off with the LS1 but, you know, i won't be upset with a gt. I can still hang with you guys if I get bolt on's and a tune.Quote:

And no i couldn't afford an ls1, I'm in high school and sonic doesn't pay that good. lol
Pound it man, i'm in high school to 11th grade trying to get out of this suburban. I needa job like shit though, i get my money from odd jobs, got 5k at the moment not enuff. What are your mods?Quote:

I'm picking up a set of gt-40p heads on saturday!
Aw thats nasty man, that thing sounds like it's sweet as hell, I've heard good things about those heads before, they should flow real good. You should have a lotta top end especially with that cam you have to. Should be stout. Wait do you have the stock exhaust setup or what?Quote:

If you want a comparably faster track car? Buy an LS/T1.
If you want a better overall car with better build quality and better ride quality? Buy the Mustang.
The half second difference in 1/4 mile times won't ever be noticed in 99 percent of your daily driving. Plus, the Mustang just sounds better. There is no beating a Mustang in terms of just how good that exhaust sounds.
All that said, there's definately something wrong with that car. There's comparably equiped mileage '03 GT's locally that are 6 and 7K more expensive.
Yeah unfortunately i have stock exhaust. I also have an off road h pipe sitting in my room but they are for longtubes so i'm waiting till i find a good deal on a set of longtubes. I'm kinda buying everything as i find them (cheap and used) I really need those longtubes! And i love the blazer, gots a lot of low end torque! haha you should have seen my friends face when i smoked his integra with a fart can in the blazer from a 25 roll!Quote:

Hey man, you got any pics of the stang?
Yea, the mustangs sound awesome, you can always tell when a mustang is driving by they have a VERY unique exhaust note, I love em. But you can't beat the LS1/LT1's performance, mod wise the f-body is a better car but, just like I said the car won't be modded heavily anytime soon, kind of a toss up on what I get a better deal on, I like both cars.Quote:

PS: I am looking at a procharged 96 Cobra, the insurance is ummm, pretty pricey but not bad. I am unsure about this... Feel it may be a bit high. But has the rare Mystic Blue and only has 45,000 miles, also built by a local well know Mustang tuner. But IDK.
Another option I have, my moms boss has a BMW 750il 130,000 miles class 1 bullet proof. He's selling to get a class 3, $7,500.
I mean, we probably won't be living here much longer, I think my moms moving out to virginia within the next few months, having a stick is not a problem anymore, it should be wide open roads, not that hard to find an M6 but they usually cost more than an A4 when I do find them.Quote:

I don't know what to say about that bimmer, why would you want a bullet proof car?
I am a part time drug dealer... No, I can in turn pull a profit, I think. I sent you the link to the Cobra... Also, be leave me or not, there was something funky from the rear coming around the corner. Load grind and a pop, and then a hope. Put it sideways.Quote:

Get the cheaper car, if you find a LS1 that you can afford get it, if you find a mustang GT, get it. Honestly, you can get one another time. Get something with cash now, low miles, drive it till it dies then with the savings you have either mod it to hell or buy a new car.

Just my opinion and it's free (get what ya pay for).
Just don't expect your Stang to stay with LS1's with basic mods..LS1's respond WAY better mod for mod..I happen to Like the look of alot of Mustangs (Nothing is as sexy as a Black WS6 tho) :devil: but I am the odd duck on here.. Being it's a GM based forum and all. I would have gotten a GTO if I could have found one as cheap as I got my Stang... Just saying

I think i'd be right up there ass with bolt on's and a tune.Quote:

Don't the S197 gt's have 3v's? Not really sure think I read that somewhere probably wrong though.
If you're gonna get the GT, just drive it stock and enjoy it until you can save up money for a faster car. You wont get any of the money you put into it back, and you'd be better off just cruising in it.
Trans am, there's only so much you can do with 281 cubes ya know? I'm sure you could see some decent numbers with heads, but they don't just slap right on
like a pushrod motor. Tiny bore too...
Oh, and crimson has a 3-valve, the two valvers are even worse....
No... its a ford... its a stang...:nono:Quote:

If I get a GT it will probably be a copy of that car. Saleen wheels, everything. Thats sexy as all get out right there. My god.
Shiet, don't ask me you know i'm a noob, I don't know what kinda heads that 350 should have. Hell, I bet any heads you buy will flow better than the ones you have. No pun intended, you know your heads are crap.Quote:
