agreeing with what has been said here... if you want to produce more power out of your vehicle... the more cost effective and less agonizing way to do it is to build your 232... you have a 98... so you have the single port intake 232... powerful? no... can you make it powerful? hell yes... stroke her to 4.2 or 4.25 (4.3) using either a donor 4.2L truck engine or SuperSix's stroke kit. Then swap to a spilt port intake... port and polish... and you'll probably be happy with the power output

why hate so much? And what in the hell is the big deal about having stock "rims?" Could someone please inform me about how buying a car is suppose to be solely on what the tires go around?

Anyway... I'm sure that he really could care less about what you have or how you felt when you had a v6, or much less about whats stock on a 1996 cobra that he had to "modify" to get.

And as a final note... a mustang is a mustang... regaurdless of the engine in the bay... modified or not, a mustang is still the symbol of this board.

I think he said that because you said "I just think v6 mustangs look like ****" The truth is, I think all 99+ V6 mustangs look much better than your model year, just my opinion.

One other note. There has been a big demand for V6 parts lately. GT's are putting on V6 rear bumpers and dumping exhaust behind the mufflers. Another part are the 03 V6 hoods is a 2k Cobra hood and people are requesting them. My mustang speed shop guy said people are paying more for 03 V6 pull off hoods than for after market hoods. V6 guys are putting GT side scoops on and the guys that sell them are selling back V6 side scoops to the Cobra guys, LOL. I haven't figured that one out yet.

its all preference... I've got a mach 1 chin spoiler on the way for my car... Everyone likes what they like. I'm keeping my rear cover... because I'm doing side exhaust... in my opinion... side exhaust looks better when there isn't two holes on the rear cover where the tips were suppose to go.

I agree. I think thats why there is a demand for V6 rear bumpers. Which side exhaust are you going with? I'm thinking about it my self.
