Argatoga's 1997 Ford Mustang GT
Now that I have some half-decent pictures I thought I'd post my car here, solid rear axel and all.
I bought it four or five months ago after selling my mighty '94 Volvo 850 Turbo. I bought this car for three reasons: it is RWD, a manual, and cheap to fix. My old Volvo, while a good car, was none of these. I have been very pleased with this car, it handles much better than the Volvo, and goes like hell when I mash the peddle. The interior isn't as fancy, but it isn't too bad - being all black helps - and it seems much more durable than the Volvo's, which had a lot of annoying plastic creak. It could use computer controlled traction control for when things get wet, but the human controlled one seems to be mostly adequate, and much more "exciting". All in all I've found it to be a great upgrade from my last car. More info can be had on the snazy vbGararge page: http://forums.finalgear.com/vbgarage...o=view&id=8918 Enough rambling here are some snazzy pictures:    Yes there is a dent, I like to think of it as a sign of character.  The car it replaced:  And no I don't clean my cars, dirtiness is too effective of an anti-theft device. Last edited by argatoga; November 11th, 2007 at 8:56 AM. |

Nice Mustang, good to see another one
 I always liked the GT's with those wheels, was looking at a blue '95 before I got my fox body. Does the 4.6 feel pretty strong through the range?

It had around 91,000 when I bought it, now it is up around 93k. It has quite a lot of low end kick and I haven't had an issue with it losing steam. I can't without bias compare it to the 5L as my only experience was with the castrated version used in my old Lincoln Towncar.
As for the dirtiness, perhaps one day when I am finished with school and can afford luxuries like covered parking I will give it a cleaning, but until then I'll let it |
