Bought a Stang!!!!
Went car shopping today and came back victorious. i am now the proud owner of a bright green 93 LX. its got a 5.0 HO SEFI. Only 85000 miles on it and it is seriously in mint condition. the paint and interior and everything are perfect. it already has some stuff done to it, im not sure of specifics yet cuz i only got it a few hours ago, but its lowered, short shifter, tinted windows, new distributer, spark plug wires....its really nice. the engine bay is spotless. Ill post some pictures tomorrow, its too dark to take some pics tonight. anybody know what kind of hp/torque i should be making? also, it should have the 8.8 rear end right? thanks!

225 hp 300tQ, and it does have 8.8 rear, im pretty sure.Anyway LX's are awsome sleeper,but put some fatty tires and gears, youll have a sleeping beast, that cooks and frys rice
, the rear ends on those car are so light, floor it on a turn and your back end will fly out. They are so much fun!good luck with your car

He's right about the factory HP and torque numbers. He's also right about the rear end wanting to swap places with the front end, so be careful until you get used to driving it, especially on wet pavement or you will need to get some clean underwear and upholstery cleaner to clean up your driver's seat! LOL
The 8.8 rear end is pretty tough and new lower gears would one of the first mods I would do.
