haha, yeah, I test drove the car on a rainy day. We were on 1st avenue (our towns main road). We were goin about 30-40 I believe and I decided to give her some gas. The wheels spun out and my back end started swaying back and forth. I can only imagine what snow will be like, eh...guess I'll be using the truck.

The car has neons?!?!?!?!?!?! [sm=laughat.gif]


ORIGINAL: dastangman

I can't tell you for sure if the car was beat on by the original owner. I mean, are neons and cobra badges and a supercharger(common mod on cars) really a reason to consider the car has been driven rough. I can bet it's seen several burnout, and it will see several more. And I bet it's been raced a few times, and might jsut see even more. But if the car had never had neons and cobra badges, would you still consider it as treated badly. As far as I can see, the car was kept in very good shape, save a few common flaws.

Good luck with your GT.

I went from a 150 whp ZX2 to my Mach. I was was scared of the Mach at first but now can't stand to drive anything other than my Mach, dads GTO, or moms Grand Prix GTP.

No, well at one point it did. But that was the first owner. The second owner, who I'm buying it from took them off because quote "When a Mustang owner is told to light em up, that's not exactly what Ford envisioned". So he said he took them off. But where the coin holder or whatever those little vent like things in the center console is he left the switch, so now it's just a blank dead switch with nothing on it. He figured it might come in handy some day, plus he didn't feel like leaving a hole or wasting time to install another coin holder.

Funny this came up...I bought a 97 cobra a few months back and just recently found wiring under the dash. I pulled it all out and asked the previous owner what was there.......neons. I was like who the fudge puts neons in a mustang...much less a cobra?
