Yeah - that was why I pretty much blew it off, he was talking about the 95'ish Mustang Cobra's.



The last clean looking Mustangs are the mid80s/early 90's Mustang LX 5.0's.

While I do like the 6spd, targa top, and 3.2L of the 97+ ... I hate their drive by wire system.
I don't like pop up headlights... It's the only flaw on the NSX, F355, and XJ220 (some of favorite cars to look at). I wouldn't have bought an S2000 if it had pop ups.

Yeah, every time I get the itch, I remind myself of what Mitch and other people went through with their horrible service. I'd be more inclined to just buy a massively depreciated 8, I guess, and fix it on my own.
Yeah. If I had to purchase one I'd do the same, buy an 8 that's already gone down in value to where I can pick it up dirt cheap. The only problem is that their transmissions, all years are prone to problems with modifications. The only even valid one is a 2005, I believe they took care of some transfer case issues with that one.

Fail.

The '03-'04 Cobras were great because it was such cheap horsepower, but otherwise... they stunk.

Eh, in all honesty I've NEVER liked Mustangs - at all.

I can't keep up with this thread, so I'll leave you this pile of feces and resume working.
