RE: 96 GT, the first of the 4.6's
HOLY ****!!! Its 11:20 now and Im sitting back after a long day or changing all the fluids out of my new 1996 Mustang GT!!!!! This thing is a freaking gem. The guy called me today about about 8:30 and was like well I know im getting screwed but I dont need the car and I know how much you would like the car, and plus im a big Cubs fan too. Thats exactly what he said. And so he asked if I still would pay $4000 and then he told me to come pick it up because its your car now. I was like holy ****. I'll get some pics, and best of all I get to keep my 2000 too. If the intake cracks it just gives me an excuse to start modding earlier
... Anyway you can tell im excited. Im off to sleep.

I will after I rip this damn alarm system out!! Hahaaha I need some help with it. I posted in General Tech under Alarm System Help. Thanks man It only took me about 2 years to save that much. From umpire, to consession stand worker, to Hardees drive thru. It was all worth it!
And I paid for the entire car myself so my parents are pretty proud of me.

RE: 96 GT, the first of the 4.6's
yea... buying the older body style is better i think now... i still do like my body style more for some reason, thats the only reason why i went with my body style stang. otherwise i would have went with a 98 cobra. but for the older GT's... you can get a really good price on it and make it a badass car for the price you would buy a new PI car.

RE: 96 GT, the first of the 4.6's
My insurance drops now because this car takes the 2000 off as a daily driver, and they are mostly worried about the age of the vehicle.
Just drove it around the neighborhood a little bit and I love this thing. Power is insane compared to my modded 6. I jacked up the car to check everything and I noticed the pumpkin said it has a 3.27 rear end? I thought these models came with 3.08 or something? I still have to flush the radiator and find that damn alarm system. I'm going to get a wire diagram and just see if I can find wires that are not supposed to be on the car....and then rip that **** out!!!...I'll double check before I do that though.

Are the stock horns located in the drivers side fender behind the drivers headlight assembly??? Im getting someone my mom knows who has a 1996 Mustang GT to come over and we'll check the wires, because he doesnt have an alarm system.

RE: 96 GT, the first of the 4.6's
Congrats I just bought a 96 GT about three weeks ago 5-spd laser red and it's going to be my daily driver well I mod up my 92. Mine just turned a 100,000 miles and runs great my auto instructor said besides the plastic intake these engines run for a while. He used to work on police vehicles/ Crown Vic's and they wouldnt get rid of them till they had like 250,000 miles on them. He also said they like to burn a little oil after high miles but they are a pretty reliable engine.
