RE: Pros and Cons of owning a S197?
Pros:
Despite the number on the road, always turns heads
Sounds great
Easily modded to your taste and style
Beautiful looking car
Better general fit and finish then mostFords (but refer to my cons on this one)
Stock mufflers not welded on (easy to swap)
Cons:
Interior rattle (fit and finish not up to par with German and Japanese cars)
Cheap plastic material (not awful on the dash, but did the doors need to be made out of hard molded plastic?)
Leather not the best quality
Paint chips VERY easily

RE: Pros and Cons of owning a S197?
pros:
good power
amazing looks
decent ride (compared to my other cars lol)
cons:
heavy
not the best handling
alot of attention, you can never just slip into a parking lot without being noticed lol, but then again a red loud mustang will do that

JayOheavenly, I couldn't agree more. I'm Mike and I'm a modaholic. First American car I've owned in many years. Fit and finish improved but still not close to Japanese. But.... I won't (can't) go back. What to charge next, Saleen SC, Foose wheels, Cervini front facia? Aw hell, I'll just get em all!!
