ok guys i need advice with buying this car or not
I found a 01 red mustang GT body kit, aftercooler, 373 gears, flowmaseter exhust, supercharger, short throw shifter, 20in rims chrome,and N.O.S. the only thing that scares me is the N.O.S. because the engine could be fried. The car is at a dealer it has leather seats and 43k miles they are asking 15k for it. Any help would be greatly aprechiated i just dont know how i could go about getting it check because of the nitrous thanx.

RE: ok guys i need advice with buying this car or not
You've probably read comments I made on similar topics, but I would walk away... Really fast...
You obviously have horsepower figures in your eyes. That's fine by me, but go around finding some stock horses, and adding your own later. And I’d never buy a car that had nos due to the fact it's instant power rather than slow and gentle like turbo or supercharger.
This car will burn your behind. No one has NOS or a bolt on supercharger and does NOT beat it up. Again, I’d opt for you to find a stock GT, and add power as you go.

I agree about being careful about nitrous. There are cases where a modded motor hasn't been abused, but they're normally raced or at least driven hard. People mod their motors for a reason. My best advice is to always check a modded vehicle out carefully. And remember that a stock looking car could have been modded and then de-modded. Happens all the time for obvious reasons. When I sold my modded '03 Cobra (504rwhp) I sold it as-is. No demodding. The car was very well known on SVTPerformance.com so the buyer knew he was getting a good car. It does help to know either the person selling the car or the car itself. JMO.

Ain't worth that kind of money anyways.
Body kits = usually put on by younger kids after receiving an insurance check from a wreck. Check the car closely for repair work.
You know the deal with the nitrous....
