ORIGINAL: 72MachOne99GT

I have always loved mustangs. And I had been in the process of cashing 200 a month for my 1970 Mach 1. Well, once about 9K showed up in my bank account, I got anxious REAL fast. Just wanted something pretty quick and new.

I liked the LX Foxbody 5.0's,, sleepers, clean, easy to build. But I wanted something newer, that I could finance, and trust as a summer DD more than an older Fox.

The day i started looking, i test drove a '97 with about 40K for about9,000 (GOD am I so glad I did'nt impulse buy that thing)
Later that night (still my first day i was gonna buy one) I found my 99GT with 48K for 9500 IN MY TOWN!!! (by some act of god, it was in the auto/rv, first page i turned to..fate? i think so)

So, thats why i got my (thankfully PI) 4.6 GT....

anyone who tells you that its easier to build a 4.6 than a 5.0 is either in denial, or has a lack of information,
they respond beter, parts are cheaper (sure, 4.6 bolt ons arent terribly exspensive, but they still arent cheap)
but the 2V 4.6 in our 99-04's are no slouch, 14.0@100 isnt horrible for a stock car, gears& DR's can be mid 13's if you can drive

(if i could do it all over, i wouldnt have quit my job last chrismas, and i would have had a 100 shot this summer [X(][>:][:-][][:'(][:@][&o])
