sup everyone,
i've looked around these boards before and it seems as if you guys know what you're talking about when it comes to stangs. Right now i have a civic and my bro has a saturn, and over the summer we are looking at selling both our cars and buying either a gt, trans am, or maybe a z28, Something w/ some power. We don't really need 2 cars so we thought we'd have a little fun w/ one car, plus hooking it up will be a lot cheaper on the both of us. I was going to do a swap to my 5th gen civic but just because i'd have to drop atleast 7 or 8g's just to make it fast didn't apeal to me, especially being a student and all. Well, to be honest, i really don't know jack about domestic cars, besides the obvious stuff. I was wandering if you guys could tell me why you would get a mustang gt over a trans am or formula??? What is the handling like on a gt and does FORD really live up to it's reputation of falling apart, don't get me wrong, i believe that if you take care of a care then it will take care of you, but i was just wanting to know yalls input. If you guys could give me any other info i'd appreciate it. thanks

why a mustang huh....
well, first of all i have always liked the looks of one before i new anything about one. second, they have always come stock w/better handling then the rest of the motors. third, the 302 has always been a tough motor that is not expensive to make faster or work on. now i know that the z28 and the t/a come stock w/a faster motor. but, they're heavier, they cost more, and performance parts cost three times what they cost for a mustang. this makes it easier for us to build a solid moter, a motor w/nos, or a blown motor that would smoke them any day of the week. i hope this helps with your decision. i trust that you will make the right one.

Cheap horsepower is the #1 reason to buy a Mustang!!! They look hot and theyre easy to hook up. Glad to see you and your bro are ready to graduate to a mans car...
thats wats up...i have some questions and im new to the site...so yea...i have a 93 2.3 litre mustang Lx.perfect condition.no rust.completely stock except replaced parts.but therres 1lil problem left.1:from a complete stop, it doesnt want to go sometimes....like it bogs down.and then it jsut catches gear and goes just fine....and i have a question on how id be able to put some more power under the hood.i was gonna put a 302 in it, but my dad wont let me cuz of insurance...its automatic, and yea....(im 17 btw)...i jsut need some help guys.
Insurance will not know unless they inspect the car or you tell them. If they go by just the VIN it will come up as a V-6 and they will never know the difference. Hey my first car was a 67 Cougar with 289. Got my first drag racing ticket in it.
