Hey, I'm looking at a '97 GT (the auto sixxer just isn't cuttin it) but I was wondering how much HP a stock '97 GT 5spd has, and how its puttin down at the wheels?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 215 Horsepower.. Not sure on torque.
Go PI. NPI just isn't worth it.

 

its worth it if the car is cheap enough. if it runs good and you get it for $5-5.5k and put a hrand into it it could be PI plus a little more

 

Would that 215 be crank or rwhp? and what would i get if i swapped to pi intake?


I would much rather have a new edge anyways, but this car is more in my price range right now that a 99-04 GT


'97 GT 5spd with 98k miles for $6k
mods it has listed are: Kenny Brown strut tower brace, K&N FIPK2 filter charger kit, Maximum Motersports fully adjustable caster/ camber plates, UPR off road x-pipe, Borla stainless steel side exhaust w/side skirts, Richmond 3.73 gears, 97 cobra wheels, BBK 1 1/2" lowering springs, offset rack and pinion bushings, Brother's speed calibrator, B&M short throw shifter, Superchip computer chip

 

AND not to double post, but is there anything special about it being a GT "Premium"?

 

Stock you are looking at 190ish rwhp. W/ similar mods I put down 209rwhp250ish tq. Stock 215 to the crank too. idk what you would get to the wheels from a PI intake since I never put one on.

 

ive seen alot of 94-98 gts for the 3.6k-6k price range compared to the 9000+ for the Pi gts, which is why i bought a 97 gt, got it for 3.8k and ran fine untill i figured it had the all plastic intake manifold

 

meh... i would save a bit more.

 

its not bad but its been decently modified which means its probably been ran hard from time to time.

The GT Premium is just a setup from ford giving it better options, no more power.

The best thing you could do if you end up getting it is the pi intake/heads then with all the mods you had listed you would have a pretty decent n/a car.

But when I looked at mustangs I would not get one that had near that many mods.

 

Guessin I should just save up and find a nice stock new edge. Anyone know auto sites that are good? other than craigs list or autotrader?
