    S197 Dd With Kids

    I was kind of afraid of that. I figured it would be a pain I guess I was trying to justify it in some way. Maybe I'll look into a Focus ST or something that would be more practical.

    S197 Dd With Kids

    I haven't logged in here in years but always liked this place. I'm strongly considering selling my truck and buying a car. I don't have anything in the bed 99% of the time and want something that's more fun. The only mustang I've ever owned was an 89 Fox over 10 years ago but I never had it...

    Looking At S197's

    Ok, I did some digging on google and found that some cars do have the issue with the plugs breaking, but that Ford fixed it for some 08's. I didn't find anything about cam phasers. I guess what I'm really getting at is if I find a nice clean 05-07 for a good deal should I pick it up? I know...

    Looking At S197's

    At work I have an e350 with the 2 valve 5.4. It has shot 3 plugs out. We bought a timesert kit and I fixed them pretty easy. That is a common 2 valve issue, but supposedly with the 3 valve the plugs break in half and leave a piece stuck in the head. I'm a Ford guy, but its pretty bad that...

    Looking At S197's

    If everything comes together soon I am going to buy a replacement for my 99 Ranger. I've tossed the idea around about getting an F150, but I want something more fun to drive, and don't really need the bed too much. Anyway I am open to 99-04's, but really interested in the 05+. My concern is...

    Want Another Mustang

    I'm a little south of Birmingham, AL. I need to look at Atlanta classifieds. It's worth a 2 hour drive for more selection. I have to sell my truck first though so I'm not in a big rush. Sent from my iPhone 4 using Tapatalk

    Want Another Mustang

    I've only ever had one Mustang, an 89 LX 5.0L. I built the engine for it and it was a lot of fun but the car was a pos overall. I never really had the money to put into it to make it good enough to drive daily or even on the weekends. With that said, I have a 99 ford ranger now. I don't use...

    8.8

    I guess I should have made the subject of this post "Drivetrain." If the 8.8 is pretty good with those upgrades, what becomes the next weak link? U-joints and driveshaft of the transmission? Just for the record I searched, but there were way too many results to sift through.

    8.8

    I dont know jack about rearends. Well, maybe a little, but do you have to have the special tools to replace the carrier? Ford's Trac-Lok is a carrier right? And so is a Detroit locker? I know that might sound dumb but I am just making sure that a carrier is what I am thinking it is.

    8.8

    Are the 8.8's a pretty good rearend? I guess it might be better than the 10 bolt in the F-cars but how much can they take? When I get my Mustang I want to be prepared. Can the rear end take launching on slicks? I'd like to get the MSD two step and a set of slicks but I was just wondering...

    Alright guys, I definitely want the Mustang. I had an 89 LX a few years ago, and I miss Mustangs. (it was a beater play toy though) Now my new dilemna, aero Cobra vs. 99+ GT? Are the 4V motors as reliable as the 2V? And finally, do the 4V's respond better to mods? Joey

    That is exactly what I want. The one that is better for every day. One more thing, is the Mustang easier to get in and out of than the fbody? Those things do get old with the long doors very low seating position. I don't want to sound like an old man, but for every day stuff it gets a little...

    I knew that pretty much everyone would say get the Stang on here. I guess I just wanted to know what its like to drive a Mustang and what it is like to drive an Fbody. Whats wrong with mullets? j/k

    Actually I really like the 96-98 body style. The only problems I can see with those is difficulty getting a loan on such an old vehicle (is it even possible?) and finding one with low enough mileage.

    I forgot to mention $10k or less. Can you get a 99 or 01 Cobra for that?

    I searched...

    Im sorry because I know this probably is asked alot, but I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. I have narrowed my choice of vehicles down to either a 99-04 Mustang GT or a 98-02 F-body. Either car would have to be a manual transmission. I know that the LS1 is obviously the faster car...

    Bought a New CAR!!!!

    Congrats, those are awesome cars. I got to drive a few C5 Z06's and it was the most incredible car I have ever driven.

    I got the bug again

    Yeah I definitely want a good built auto this time around. I hated how my T5 shifted, but that could have just been a bad apple.

    I got the bug again

    One more question, about how much rwhp is required to run those times? 300-ish depending on traction? Thanks, Joey
