There is a 97 Stang around here that i almost bought but didnt have the money. 9k gets you the whole spare(perfectly running) motor plus the motor that is in the car with forged everything top to bottom, inside and out. The car is sick. Its got 100 shot of nitrous and cobras cant even touch this car. Its street legal and from what i remember its an 11sec car.

I test drove a 99 GT Anniversary Edition today. It had CAI and i think an exhuast.  It actually surprised me, and was a pretty decent ride. I'm considering it, but its a 99 with 117k and the dealership wants 9901 out the door. Too expensive, right?


I bought my 1999 GT (all are anniversary editions) with 53K miles for $11K out the door last year......That guy is asking a outragious price.

I looked for about four months before I found mine (at a European car dealer...no less..lol)...Be patient, and you will find a diamond in the rough..

I really like the way this car looks. Its red, not the stock GT hood, blacked out tail lights, um Ford Mustang style "berger panel" if you know what i'm talking about.

I just also dont know if i wanna buy a mustang, obviously, I'm  GM guy, if you couldnt tell, haha, but i liked this car, but knowing i'll be slower than a LS1 also pushes me away.

Look man, I love GM as well,and I could have bought a used F-body instead of my GT. Even though it's slower,I hav'nt had any reliability issues at all, and thats including a drive I took across country....not bad for a 8 year old car.....If your interested in performance as your primary reason of choice without doing alot of modifying ...then yes the LS1 is for you, but anything else it's a wash as far as I'm concerned...

Well, you could buy an older integra GSR for cheap, rebuild the motor with forged internals, slap on a turbo kit, crank the boost and beat them both and call it a day for around 8k, maybe less!  Just kidding. I've never owned a mustang although I wouldn't be at all opposed to it, I have owned a camaro, and it was one of my favorite cars untill it got totaled. It was so damn comfortable to me. Like your laying down while driving, it was great for me since I used to drive a great distance every weekend. Anyhow, either way between LS1 and the Stang, you'll probably be happy.

something you would have to watch out for in that high mileage stang is the intake manifold. It was all plastic on that year stang, and they tend to crack. check up front right by thermostat housing for any cracks. And does the car actually have the anniversary package, or just the badges on the side?

I'm not sure, didnt really pay attention to the badges, but the it said 35th aniversary edition on the speedometer area.  Had a different hood, black out tail lights and as i've said, the ford style "berger panel"

That has the package. My car does'nt have the 35th anniversary logo located anywhere on the dash...Just two ornament emblems (one on each side)

So if they go for 7k, you think i should be driving a mustang?

I found a 98 Z for 6.7k.  Its low cuz it needs tires and it has a scratch that is about 250 to fix.

What are you after?  Performance right out of the box? Personally, I would'nt buy a Mustang or Camaro with over 100K on the clock from a dealer.....At least from a private seller they would have maintinence records and the possibility of picking it up from a original owner..I would wait for a better deal for now...pick up a bucket/beater for a few hundred bucks to hold you over until you have more money saved....

Tried the bucket beater with the cavalier i bought.  Didnt work out.  The LS1 isnt at a dealership though.

Why'd you choose a mustang for a DD?

There are plenty of LS1 Camaros and T/A's out there for sale.  Just look around.

I guess because I already did the Camaro thing...I used to own a 1995 Z28...back in the late 90's.....So this time around I wanted something different......SO WALLA, MUSTANG.

By the time the OD hit 100K miles I went through two water pumps and a transmission.......I bought the car in December of 1996 w/ 34K miles.....

So you decided a little performance loss was better than something breaking?

The reason is I've already owned a F-body before,so this time I wanted something different....You can only own so many cars in your lifetime...So I wanted a different flavor this time around....and so far I've got no complaints....Since I own a Vette,I still have the LSx flavor as well...
