so with the new body style you think in a year all the stangs will go down quite a bit in price? that would be awsome

i don't think they will, i KNOW they will. everyone and their mother wants the new mustang. the one thing that turned me away was i didn't like the body style at all. that's just my opinion though. by the middle or end of this year, you'll be able to get an 04 for mad cheap! hell, you can find 03 cobras on autotrader.com right now for 25k with low miles.

If you can't get a 99+ 4.6 then stick with a 5.0

I agree, unless you can get a 96-98 hella cheap. I have seen some of em for like 5-7K. If you could get it for that and then had the money/confidence to pull the motor and rework it.....

If I had it to do over again I would either go with a fox or a 97ish car. With the 97 pull the motor, and with all of the cash I saved go with a PI swap (w/ new cams/headwork), bottom end rebuild, and a blower/turbo. Would be running a 550-600 RWHP car on far less money than what I have currently spent

why would you do the fox if you had to do it all over again?

lol, no it didn't.... I'd get a 4.6L if I could do it over again, just because I like the 99+ body style better than the fox

I totally agree. IMO the 99+ are the best looking mustang ever made(including 05). I'm pretty sure you can find a 99gt with pretty good miles for 11k or under.
I cant wait for the mod prices to drop. Thats going to be great.

RE: getting stang. can't decide which one help 4.6 or 5.0

yea, i would say taht you could get a 99+ for under 11K

i didnt look as much as i possibly coulld have ,and found a 99 GT with 48K for only 9,700

if you look around, and know what youre talking about when you go to negotiate with people you can easily get a 99 or 00 GT for under 9 thousand dollars,

good luck,,,,

p.s. 90-93 L.X. 5.0's are pretty sweet though
