Ford Mustang thread

[BustedS13]

i've been driving a CL for a couple years now as my daily, and i'm tired of it. it's about to roll over 100k, so i'm trying to sell it before that happens.
as for what i want to get for a daily.. i'm not dead-set, but i haven't had a daily 'vert in quite some time (my first car was a lolbaron, i own a '67 Galaxie but it's not a daily, and i had a '92 M30 'vert for a while), and with winter approaching, they're going to be loading up craigslist soon. i also haven't daily'd a manual since i daily drove the 240, and that's been years.

so anyway, i'm thinking 87-93 5.0 Mustang 'vert, stick, preferably LX model, but i could deal with a GT and its excess cladding. anybody have one/admire these cars? the fox is my second favorite generation of Mustang next to the first gen. my roommate has a lightly modded new edge GT, and it's a lot of fun to beat on, although he's constantly whining about fit and finish. but he's a pussy about that sort of thing, and the new edge really isn't the same as what i'd be getting into.
anybody have one of these hillbilly shoeboxes? i know i'm asking on the wrong forum because you're all track-star hipster californians with glass-smooth mountain passes so you need something that "can turn", but maybe, just maybe, somebody on here likes classic american fun.

[turboboost12004]

get a fox you wont regret it.... and get yourself some gt40 heads and intake some gears, basic mods and youll be happy with the results. i sold all my 240s to get a fox...

and here is some inspiration for you...jba DOMINATOR fox....

^^^^UGH^^^^

WTF. How can you sell all of your 240S and end up with that?

And that widebody thing is fucking gross.

EDIT: Also, Busted... verts are pretty gay.

[turboboost12004]

its a piece of american history so you know....its not called the dominator for nothing... my 240s were getting me no where, plus i needed real power so i got a v8....

[ryguy]

Cmon dude, a foxbody? At least get a pre-99 fourth gen. Still cheap to mod, and they look 100x better, a little like an S14.

Or you could just man up and get an F-body camaro.

[!Zar!]

I've NEVER called a foxbody a, "dominator". Honestly, those cars are shit and are only seen by fat dudes who think they are the hottest/fastest shit on the road.

Here is a widebody pic of another foxbody that you missed.

lol that mustang is called a dominator........and no..not all dudes driving around in foxes are white, some asian peeps i know are realizing how much money they are wasting tryig to get their 4cyl engine put out as much hp as a stock mustang does. you should try one....maybe youll like it...

[meteorite_flo]

Now sir, you are stereotyping.

[ryguy]

lol that mustang is called a dominator........

I thought the Dominator was a trim level of the foxbody, like a step above a GT, and was limited edition. A foxbody is not automatically a Dominator.

My white trash neighbor has a foxbody.... ughhh. Don't do it Busted.

Uhhh... as much as a stock mustang? How much is that btw. I'm willing to bet like 200hp.

[BustedS13]

EDIT: Also, Busted... verts are pretty gay.
in the right conditions, there's nothing better. winters are rainy days suck, but i've dealt before

two points: first, the only generation of stang worse than the mid 90's one is the 70's one
second, yes, a 4th gen camaro is not out of the question

[BustedS13]

Uhhh... as much as a stock mustang? How much is that btw. I'm willing to bet like 200hp.

225hp/300tq in the fox.

[lyrical struggle]

fox bodies suspension sucks ass. It will take alot of money to get it "right" to make it a fun driving car other then going straight. New Edge are getting cheaper now adays and it may be a better buy with options available for it.

I have an 08 GT and i love it.

[BustedS13]

i have no interest in "tracking" it. it'd be a daily driver/straight line fun car. and my roommate has a new ege. i find their styling excessive/uninspired.
the 05+ are nice looking, but out of my price range

[SexPanda]

Ok, this is what you do. 5.0 LX, ditch the 5.0, drop in a 5.7. Or, get the Mustang SVO with the 2.3 turbo. Those engines are damn near indestructable.

enough to piss off any redneck with a hardon for v8s, yet still sexy to those who are into bastard swaps and small powerful engines... like myself.

I love foxbody's though, I think they just epitomize everything about the 80s lol.

[ESmorz]

Or be straight awesome with the t-tops.

but this does. FOX BALLIN'

http://www.carsct.com/pics/f87102.jpg

[SexPanda]

Then get a fuckin SBC 350! Maybe even 400... Good engines, cheap, easy.

At least try to get a notchback. I don't dig the hatches. But I love foxbodies. I'd rock one no matter what the engine or body was as a daily.

[ESmorz]

No that exact one, but certain trims do.

[DeathMetal]

I seriously hate mustangs. I probably shouldn't say much considering but I have never liked their looks, their engines, the whole front-mount distributor thing, and I have never really liked the 5.0.

Maybe reconsider for an LS1 vehicle? Try and find an 01-02 Camaro, a Vette (if you can afford), or one of the LS1 firebirds?

Would be about the same gas mileage (kind of a general estimate) based on the mustangs size (small, semi-lightweight) vs. the LS1's efficiency (even in the heavier f-bodies and vettes...well...i dunno how much vettes weigh vs. mustangs but....i'm talking outta my ass.../facepalm ;p).

Just putting it out there honestly. Don't want any shit for it ;p

why be a knight ricer (another case in point, the "dominator", lol) when you can be a knight rider?

[SexPanda]

^^wtf man... wtf.

new knight rider=epic fail. And it has nothing to do with the fact they used a ford. It just blew.

i've got a Galaxie with a 390 in it; this would be for daily driving/fun

and yeah, an LX notch is my favorite fox. but i've got that 'vert jones. the hatch is my least favorite easily

a six speed ls1 can pull 28mpg highway.... mustangs can't pull that off. but they're probably about the same for city driving, yeah.

You know what's funny? I always get called out on my shit for saying LS1's can make close to 30mpg. I'm sure those people get their facts from pamphlets at the local Chevrolet dealer.

Glad you backed me up on this one cuz I wasn't sure. You seem like a credible source so I'll go with it ;p.

[turboboost12004]

what i like about my fox is the fact that if your on a budget, you can go to the junk yard and easy find heads, intake manifolds, bigger tb, gears, posi differentials, 31 spline diffs, rear disk brake upgrades, interior upgrades. e fans, 3g 130amp alternators, mini starters and so on...and for hella cheap

Junkyard Horsepower SUMMARY! - Corral Forums (http://forums.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1092402&highlight=junk+yard)

....and no it dosent take a lot of dough to make it handle well, it is cheaper than buying 1000+ coilovers....you would just need some springs, replace your old bushings and struts and shocks. and add sub frame connectors with a front sb and your set.
you can find some cheap cobra breaks online and youll have all the stopping power you need.
the best part is that almost all the mods out there for foxes are street legal.
also ive noticed when i had the 240, the popo yould pull me over all the time. now that i have my fox, i could be driving next to them with full exhaust and they wont even bother....for some reason...

[turboboost12004]

+100000 cool points to hypertek.....

[HyperTek]

in regards to the white one
"he white Mustang was driven by Gerd Ruch, who was also the owner of his private (notice the absence of a big sponsor) racingteam Ruch Motorsport. Although beeing the fastest DTM car at that time in a straight line, the Mustang was completely uncompetitive in cornering and braking. Years later Ruch said in an interview that after the first run on the nordschleife he was so scared that he pretended to have technical problems so he didn't have start in the second run, because the car was "absolutely undriveable there".
The Mustang never won a race but had lots of fans for being the oddball in the field. Reaching the finishline was his personal victory. His brother Jürgen Ruch joined some races in a second white Mustang. Gerd Ruch had his last DTM season in 1995, when he drove an AMG Mercedes. He quit motorsport after winning the 1996 BPR-GT-Trophy in a 911 GT2."

That kind of looks like an R32 Skyline, just boxier and with taller headlights.
Never noticed the resemblance before.

[ayuaddict]

fox bodies are cool in my opinion.

simple and fast, i like the idea.

C4 corvettes are also very cool, for some reason i think that they are going to have a bunch of problems.

actually all the american cars from that era are fast and cheap, what about the camaros? those look pretty cool, and LT1s are pretty fast right?

[SexPanda]

^^ Yeah if you're lucky enough to get one with an LT1... Most of the v8's were 305's...

[HyperTek]

hate to go off topic but you ever see one of those F body verts with teh top down and lowered in person? they look real good.
I saw some dudes rollin in a blue one lowered on 18' chrome iroc rims with teh top down and it looked pretty sick.

Anyway, 'Stangs are fun. It's a different kind of fun, but it's no less fun.


EDIT: A C4 Corvette is 10x the car though, particularly an LT1 or LT4.

The LT1 cars will have the occasional optispark problem, but it isn't a huge deal. The L98 cars probably won't ever have *any* problems. Avoid Crossfire injection ('84).

Only way to make a fox body right:

http://i28.tinypic.com/fu70i1.jpg

also, look into 3rd gen camaros...

here is one killing a twin turbo gallardo:

YouTube - Doug Levin TT Gallardo vs. IROC Camaro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_jqMIw6KX4)

that's a 9300rpm redline on what's essentially a winston cup motor...stuck to a 3 speed stalled auto all in an iroc z :squint:

here is that same gallardo tt against a c6 zr1....just to give you a frame of reference:

I beg to differ, a nice and clean 240SX with fully functioning AC will not repel vagina. Not all of Zilivia drives beat to hell shit boxes as you would believe.

the point i was trying to make, sort of, was "who cares what girls think". i don't go to Jennifer Anniston movies or watch Lifetime.

[SexPanda]

Why not an E30?

about the same price, still just as fun, prolly slightly better gas mileage... Although, it doesn't have a v8. Old 5er with a v8? Hell, if you look hard enough you might even find one with a manual trans.

[BustedS13]

no nazi sleds for me

[SexPanda]

Really? Why not just put on a little mustache and a brown sportcoat? You'd fit right in with all the natzees

[BustedS13]

i want performance and fun, not comfort and repair bills :/

i like e30's but that's really not at all what i'm looking for right now.

Nowhere in my post did I say only white guys drive foxes.

And I already have transportation that's faster and handles better than a stang.
My boy had one. Nice and clean but then it was stolen about two weeks after purchase. Stripped to the bone.

* Same engine used in the SVO Mustangs, but this has "Euro styling".

whaaaaattttt you dont know a 49 merc when you see one?

fuckin 49 mercs and 61-69 continental's are the only fords i would drive.

and i showed a picture of a GNX but i really just meant a grand national.

[lucky7]

my dad has a '94 5.0 vert, and i like it. its just dog ass slow being an auto AND a vert. looks sharp though, IMO. with a couple grand, it could turn 12's with little issue.

my buddy just go this:

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2497/3849934159_6a82c20922_b.jpg

cammed 347 car with a 5 speed. does 12.50's all day long. very clean car.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3459/3850737570_7fd6f94902_b.jpg

and because this topic doesnt come up very often around here, i'd just like to share the 2 last mustangs i drove around.

'09 427R. i believe it has 427 horses, and its wonderfully easy to drive. it would make a really nice DD if you didnt have to worry about ice and snow.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3602/3598706219_38c5c665bb_b.jpg

and THE first 2010 roush stage 3 to hit the streets. i got to drive it around for a little bit while some buddies took some rolling shots of it. 540hp and MUCH more difficult to drive than the 427R.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2638/3894431914_555799b401_b.jpg

a pain in the ass to drive, just like my S14, but it lays down the power nicely. sounds real tough, too.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3506/3893826903_3c77668b29_b.jpg

and my dads turd. still has under 60k on it. but it now has black bullet style wheels. looks MEH. (needs different wheels and the amber corners back on it, IMO)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/danerm3/mustang1.jpg

fun cruiser though.

i say go for it. ive always had a spot for mustangs, although i prefer the 97-98 cobra verts over all the rest for some odd reason.

[SexPanda]

My friend DiMario has a 5.0 notch police car from Florida. I'll see if I can't find some pictures. Its black and brown and has a spotlight lol shits funny.

[ranger240]

sometimes we drive around in the 82 or 83 fox vert a friends dad has.. red w white leather.. 5.0 5 speed.. hideous looking,
understeers like nothing else, doughnuts arn't a possibility. it still has a weird appeal to drive occasionally on nice days.
though it'd be a crappy daily.

All that sexy box styling, like the Mustangs, but a blistering 175hp from a turbo SOHC 4 cylinder*. Still a Ford product too. :rawk: :rawk: :rawk:



:ddog:


* Same engine used in the SVO Mustangs, but this has "Euro styling".

there was a NH registered cossie like that up at limerock raceway. theyre still expensive used cars over there, so it wouldn't be as feasable as getting a 180sx here for a few grand and trying to registered it in lax states

Super rare to find one in the US, and if you do find one that is street able it will still run you well over 24k

ALot of them have been converted to Rally cars, so finding a streetable cossie is very difficult...

I though it would be fun to share with you how much i dislike mustangs, lol

i started laughing as i pulled up to this.

The driver though it was a good idea to punch it, while pulling up to a T intersection. All this plus a car wash = *PRICELESS*

thats just a dumbass owner lol.. i think theres 5 million more dumb honda drivers then there are bad mustangs lol

[axiomatik]

hate to go off topic but you ever see one of those F body verts with teh top down and lowered in person? they look real good.
I saw some dudes rollin in a blue one lowered on 18' chrome iroc rims with teh top down and it looked pretty sick.

Man, that looks sooo much better than any fox body ever will. No matter what you do to them, fox bodies still always look cheap.

Nowhere in my post did I say only white guys drive foxes.

And I already have transportation that's faster and handles better than a stang.
My boy had one. Nice and clean but then it was stolen about two weeks after purchase. Stripped to the bone.

To the guy who said the Monte Carlo SS looks ugly, you're trippin.

My Ford of choice would have to be the Marauder.

Decent performance, but too upright and boxy, still looks like a grandma's car. Impala SS looked better.

[Future240]

^^ Hell yes to that

typical fox body 5.0 was like what 225hp??

At the crank... Lucky to put down 150 on a dyno stock.

The heads suck. Replace the Heads, cam and intake and you can put down 350+ easy.

[Shvltme93Notch]

if you do get a vert. you must do subframe connectors or you will hate your life. i drive a 94 gt coupe. and even it was sloppy. then once i put the KW coilovers on it it dropped in the center over bumps. now that i have the connectors on though i must say that it handles pretty damn well. i just need a better wheel/tire fitment and i will be happy.

So a couple months ago I took my moms mustang to work while I was building my engine. Well I had my first experience with a flash flood. It was deeper in the middle of the street about 4 feet so I could not move the car. Well it had flood damage and the insurance just paid for everything. This all happen in about 15-20mins of rain. Lesson learned you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink.

You can lead a horse to water but it won't drown itself?


You gotta help.

[SR_Vlurs]

.... WHAT!? are you blind ....

That kind of looks like an R32 Skyline, just boxier and with taller headlights.
Never noticed the resemblance before.

seen one exactly like this one but in white outside a junk yard in PA but he had NY plates on it
looked gorgeous had a diff in the front and back so im guessing it was a cosworth

[lucky7]

my friends dad is really into mustangs. i pulled up to his house on friday afternoon, his dad and brother were over shooting the shit. i snapped a pic because i thought it was cool. :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v470/danerm3/driveway.jpg

LSB M3 is my friends, the E30 is my pile, and the 2 mustangs are his dads. the fox has a cammed 347 and put down 396 at the wheels. the mystik in the garage is built, has a kenne bell and a bottle of spray in the trunk. he'll prob buy another one next year. he's hooked.

oh, and someone mentioned an E30 getting better mileage. i pulled this out of my ass today driving home from cincinnati.

[BustedS13]

who would have thought an engine with half the displacement would manage better fuel economy

[lucky7]

yeah, i usually get around 22 - 23 driving in the city and highway. if im really aggressive, i've seen less than 20. the car just clicked over 151k this weekend, i've never done any maintanence, and it burns a little bit of oil. the suspension is trashed, and im on oversized, jello-like snow tires. i was really happy when i saw the gauge stuck over 27mpg's for most of the trip. until i got into detroit ofcourse, i increased my speed 15mph. not too shabby for an old, tired single slammer straight 6.

[thrax]

If it makes you happy go with it. It seems every kind of car enthusiast bashes mustangs in some form or another but that's because most people see it as the "benchmark" for comparison. The aftermarket parts for these types of cars is tremendous so you can keep the car for 20 years and still be able to find parts for it.

Some of the people i've known most of my life went the Nissan "handling" route while others have gone the Mustang muscle car route and they are different experiences that some like and some don't.
