Hi, 21 years old v6, driven for the last 10 years in southern Germany. Your review is to the point. I have a manual one, in 225.40.18s, deleted back seats, y pipe, no sway bar to the rear. No heating isses. Not really slow compared to the 4 cilinders of Germany, but the bumpy ride in the Autobahn is really annoying. I am searching ways to make it smooth and upgrade internal door panels that are just unacceptable.

Yes man, i know, i didnt buy itvfor lexus. I installed Monroe struts and removed some eibach springs that were out if spec to install other Germans, promising to be softer. I have no body roll and super steering wheel feedback for a v6. I sprayed all pulleys with silicone spray before an interstate ride and drove somehow smoother. The motor is somehow complaining. The German autobahn on average is better quality than the us interstate, so difficult to explain to you the road feedback I get. All for all, I drive an exotic car for European standards with a fraction of the cost. Ps: next project is to install reverse camera to improve European city parking capability

Man Brother, you sound like a younger guy, Im 48 and it was refreshing to hear a younger guy giving out spot on info!! I agree 100% on all points. Im so tired of crap info being put out about these cars. These guys always bagging on these engines being weak etc. They make great power for the time and ultra reliable, durable and the sound, cant be matched! Power is easily added with small turbo and some tuning, and I mean some serious power!Your getting in the mile range where you can start updating front end parts etc to get back its new handling feel. The long time warmup is common we have 3 and they are all the same. Its easy nowadays to talk smack about speed when young guys go out and take out 600+ dollar car note and then brag how they can smoke you. Its another thing to buy a 20 year old car with cash and learn how to turn a wrench and improve on something with your own two hands. The process is rewarding and most dont get that. It also takes some skill to drive one of these efficiently. I have a near stock 01 Bullitt that puts out 300 at the crank, my Bullitt is a handful to keep on the road even with 315s at the rear. Ive driven numerous new vehicles and they are awesome but extremely tame even with big horsepower. Driving these old manual stangs is a blast!

@ 2RCProductions: Re: "Ive driven numerous new vehicles and they are awesome but extremely tame even with big horsepower. Driving these old manual stangs is a blast!" Right on, brother! I now own a 2013 Mustang GT 5.0L Coyote motor, which is an absolute beast - but I still sometimes miss my 1996 Mustang GT 4.6L 2V hardtop. Why? For many of the reasons you mention. Those cars are not fast by today's standards, but you really feel and enjoy the experience of driving them. They sound great. Many times over the life of my Mustang - which had after-market Flowmasters on it and was otherwise bone-stock - I had guys like Corvette owners telling me how great my car sounded. I am currently hunting for a decent-quality 1998 Cobra, which I intend to super-charge. The SN95s are smaller and lighter than the current Mustangs, which is one reason why they are starting to get more-popular as project cars for building up big power. They work great for Coyote swaps, too. About the only downside to the non-Cobra 03-04s - which had IRS - is the solid rear axle, which means you'll feel every bump in the road. Second your point about the reliability of the modular 4.6L V-8s. Mine ran like a top and it had 240,000 miles on it when I finally had to part ways with it because of some under-body rust. All in all, it was a damned fun car, and economical to own, too, which I why I drove it for so long.

The models that D.P.S. were buying were of course the early 80's models that were of course light in the rear along with an added police package made those cars eye blinking fast. For me the Mustang V-8 is simply my Exotic Beauty and yes there are other vehicles that have more speed, power, beauty and a few other things but the sound that she roars out of her tailpipes are hypnotic to say the least and I will choose her over any other muscle or performance beauty any day.

Wow that's impressive mileage.

As an owner of an '00 GT convertible with the 4R70W automatic: In stock condition it's a slushbox. Put a shift kit in, replace the valve body plate against solenoid warping, J-mod it, get a good torque converter and it's pretty fun (Monster Transmissions has a great semi-stock replacement in the Thor: Odin). They do have a great sound once you get the 20 catalytic converters off it as well, LOL.

My 98 threw a rod at 217k miles, so I threw in an aluminum 4.6 from an 04 explorer. The engine had 80k so I had to jump on it. She runs good now, but I have a slow leak at the tailshaft seal that I need to replace, then all should be good

I had a 2001 silver Mustang the tire blew and I rolled it in a ditch. Totaled my first car in a little less than a year. I wasn't even doing anything wrong 45 on a straight away. Wrong place, wrong time I guess. Me and my best friend both Mustang he had a standard 2000 and I had a 2001 automatic. We can both attest that there is some kind of issue that causes them to slide or spin on turns. Don't know if it's an issue with the traction control or what but they feel kind've dangerous in our opinion compared to other cars. I rolled mine and totalled it the airbags didn't eject and I was actually untouched. Not a scratch or bruise but the roof did come down on my shoulders and gave me issues but I'm grateful for the way it turned out.

Those Camaros and Firebirds of that era were very fast. I loved how the Camaros looked, but thanks to being not all that tall - 5'10" - when I sat in the thing, I felt like I was sitting in a bath-tub and trying to drive. I was disappointed, but that's life. The Mustang on the other hand, provided great visibility, and was fun to drive, and they sounded great. What Ford should have done is drop the modular 4.6L Cobra DOHC engine into the GTs, and boost the motor for the Cobras, as they finally did in 2003-2004. Or just bump up displacement as they finally did. I once owned a 1969 Firebird ragtop, and my brother had a nice 1967 Camaro hardtop with a 327 c.i. 4v - so I like GM fine - but man alive, I just can't make friends with the new generation of Camaros, how they look and that same bugaboo - bad visibility. Too bad, because the word is that they are absolute rockets. No matter, I have a very fast 2013 Mustang GT now. But there's definitely something special about how those 4.6L V-8s sounded.....

Unpopular opinion, i had a 1998 gt and a 2001. Both were loud enough I enjoyed it with the stock exhaust but was never such a drone. I put 40 series on my current 04 and its almost to loud.

Stock for stock. These 2v mustangs are a tad bit quicker than the first gen 3v s197. And engine is more reliable as well

@carsandhobbies

2 жыл бұрын

Is it a V6 that he's putting a V8 in? These cars for the most part are pretty solid, because it has that many miles the entire suspension will probably need to be redone, both my 99 and my 02 needed new ball joints, shocks and I still need new sway bushings. One of the biggest things is to make sure the oil is changed and at the correct level. This goes for pretty much any car, but most of the cases I've seen of broken rod bearings are people running their oil too low. Also idk how many miles the v8 he's putting in has, but it may or may not need timing chain guides, some people need em after 100k, while others never need em. Again it comes down to keeping the oil clean and topped off. There are other minor issues, that some people get but others don't such as coil packs going bad, IAC valve going out etc. However, the vast majority of the parts are expensive and it's a very easy car to work on yourself, one of the easiest "modern" cars imo.

I just bought a 2001 mustang six cylinder five speed mustang, I've looked for TWO YEARS for an eight cylinder 5 speed, but prices are outrageous! It has 151,000 miles on it, it's really straight, no rust but it just threw the "check engine" light. Any ideas to what it could be? It idles kinda high too.
