Mustang_02 said:99+ although I'm not sure on the specs of the 2004's.
ChrisYellowV6 said:then the 02+ has a modified intake/exhaust controller to give it a little more of a beefy engine sound
ChrisYellowV6 said:i'd get an 02...you dont have that tacky hood as phantom said, i hate it myself, they are pretty easy to get your hands on and you get the slightly dieeper exhaust. plus you get a year newer car and it will have less miles driven by god only knows who, so you can hopefully rescue it and take care of it, hopefully.
DcDisturbed947 said:so what you get from this, the newer the year the "beefier" and "quicker" it is
PhantomGT said:anyone pay attention to Mazda's lawsuit over the RX-8?
PhantomGT said:But to be honest, my engine was only pushing 133 HP to the wheels on my first dyno run, so for ford to say they have 193 HP is a crock of shieeet. Next mustang I get needs to be dynoed immediately, so if I get a dud engine I can exchange the car, or sue. anyone pay attention to Mazda's lawsuit over the RX-8?
u mean a 98? and be as fast as a 99?SpectorV said:i notice no diff in teh 01-02 sound but who knows, might be a slight difference. 99-00 have a pcv oil issue that gets to much oil in the upper, some worse than others, the 01 up have intake valves in the lower that open up at a given rpm to use the short runners. little flatter tq curve noting really noticable maybe a tenth faster~
if you want cheap speed buy a cheap per 99 slap on some ported heads/intake/cam with bolt ons and you will be about as fast as a 99 up with the same mods.
PhantomGT said:Yeah, I think it's retarded that Ford did that to the V6. But whatever sells.
If you can, you will enjoy the 05 far more than this 25 year old thing that we all have. 2004 was the only year for the 3.9L, I don’t know why they did that, there is absolutely no gain in HP / Torque on there website, they are still claming 193hp. That 4.0 is going to be great, it's almost the exact thing that's in the explorer, Which if you have driven one, you can tell how much torque it really has. And this new mustang will be like 1000 pounds less than the explorers.

Mean03V6 said:Yeah man, because despite the fact that the 01 Cobra hood looks good on the 01 Cobra, it's just so tacky on a V6... You know, I have to take this kind of crap from people all the time. The only difference between a Cobra and a V6 is engine size (and a few other PERFORMANCE mods for the picky peeps out there.) To say that the hood looks good on the Cobra and not the V6 is like saying, "I like the Ford logo on the Cobra better than I like the logo on the V6." Cobra, Cobra, Cobra..that's all Stangers want to talk about anymore. :damnit:
