hey guys, i am looking at a 97 gt vert. 5 spd and it looks like it is in good cond. and drives good as new, i want one like this with the 5.0 in it but i can't find any with this set up. it has 121k on it. i want one bad but what are the disadvantages that hte 4.6 motors have. someone told me that when you get on the 4.6 it sounds like it is falling apart. i'm not looking for something fast but def. not something slow.

 

well the 96-98's (non-pi) arent the fastest but ive rode in 98 w/a few bolt ons and 3.55's it seemed pretty quick not as fast as mine but mines a 03 i havent had any problems out of mine minus the throw out bearing in clutch going out its only got 37k though it runs like a champ my buddies 98 has 90k i think and he hasnt had any problems that i know of and give that car hell from what i can tell ive seen him run it up to 6500rpms multiple times lol

 

thanks, if i don't hear anything too bad about them i am thinking about getting it tommorrow morning.

Anyone else have any thing to say.

 

Test drive it and get on it alot while your doing it.

Plan on getting gears if it still has stock.

 

i drove it today and got on it a good bit buy the guy had to ride with me and his 10 yr old daughter wanted to ride too so i didn't get on it too hard.

 

Should have.
