I forgot to mention this in my post... I probably wouldn't mod the older car much other than the exhaust. Reason being is that I will an 04 Cobra and that will be my big play toy
. I'm not interested in the 4 banger cars but I just wanna have an older stang that I can use for long trips, bad weather, etc and not get the Cobra out in that... just wanna try and take good care of it. Is there much gas difference between the 5.0 and the 4.6?
As far as for exhaust, I would just get something that is pretty cheap cuz I'm going all out on the Cobra. Something like an O/R H with a Flowmaster, MAC... something with a nice muscle sound.

RE: Which would you buy?
I don't NEED a mustang as a daily driver. I HAVE a 00 Ranger that is partly mine, and partly my dads. To be honest, I've not needed the truck for any purpose that a mustang could do. At best, my truck will get 29.5 mpg on the interstate at cruising speeds. Mind you that is a 4 cylinder motor. My 04 GT, which was a V8, would get a lil over 26 mpg on the interstate so I'm not really losing much as far as gas mileage.

Id go for secret option D. Get a 96-98 Cobra. Reliable, pretty fast, not too horrible gas milage, and i believe its a 4v. Just in case you want to mod it later...
