Might buy an '03 GT, few questions..
I have a line on a clean '03 GT from a friend. Black, hardtop, stick. 45k miles. Very well taken care of car, figure she'll make a nice daily driver.
The question I'm asking is, what can she do with the mods that are done to her. She has a full exhaust, long tubes, no cats, X-pipe and flowmaster mufflers, 4.30 gears, cai and some tuning I think. He's never ran it.
I tried looking around the forum a bit and searching but couldn't really find an answer to my question.

And for CJFANNI, why would you swap 4.30's for 3.73's? I went from 4.10's to 4.30's.
SOHC 4.6 motors make all their power up high, the shorter your gear the quicker you'll get there. Go for a drive in a GT with 4.10's or 4.30 and learn what gear you should have installed.
