Default What you guys think?

This is my 98 Mustang Gt. I got it about 3 months ago for $6,000 with only 50,000 original miles. Since purchased i have added the stock bullit rims, a flowmaster catback system, a chin spoiler and ordered a cold air intake yesterday.

Wat you guys think so far? I really wanted the cobra but really didnt have the money. This is a step up from my 04 Nissan Z in terms of torque and power? Any suggestions for the next mods?

Looks nice. Just lower it some. I recommend Eibach Sport System with the Dampers.
They make my 04 GT ride NICE!!!

Lower...

And i think replacing the headlights would make WORLDS of difference.

Very clean car, and low miles is always a good thing.

+1 on lowering, and some clear-corner headlights would look awesome.

About a step up from the Z...I don't think you will feel a huge difference, as in the Mustang is soo much faster, but it's subtle. If you do a PI swap, that will show you a much bigger difference. Nice looking car though!

Isn't a 04 Z more than a run for a stock 99-04 GT? Let alone a NPI car...

I take Z's all the time with my very minor bolt ons, actually, it's no problem for me.

An NPI car would have difficulty keeping up, but it wont be blown away. The NPI will still have a torque advantage over the 350Z.

I think people tend to overestimate the Z's. Stock, they and lack performance. A drop in CAI, maybe some exhaust work and a tune will give it the edge over a stock New Edge.

The Z's suck. When my 02 was BONE stock, I beat one by 2 cars he had intake and exhaust, at least, thats all I could hear, but they only rated at like 208 WHP. Those imports overexagerate a little on those crank HP numbers
