Considering the 95 GT
Hey guys, i was considering buying my friends 95 Mustang GT Convertible, and I had a few questions. From what I can see, the GT only has 223 HP. I hope this is wrong, because then it would only be a little bit more powerful than my hyundai elantra. Ive looked at some rebuilt engines including one from American Muscle sporting a hefty 350HP with 340 ft/lbs of torque. But if im buying a GT i feel like it should be fast. Can someone give me some numbers to reassure me that this is a good buy. Thanx

There is one thing to remember with a 5.0 compared to you Hyndai, the 5.0 has alot more torque. (300 ft lbs I think) and it is fairly cheap to mod and get to the HP and torque your looking for, I say get your buddies car, you won't regret it

Torque is what makes the car move down the road, I would not worry about 102,000 miles, thats nothing for a 5.0, unless it was severely ragged out. You get a taller gear like 3.73 or 4.10s and some bolt ons,(exhaust, cold air induction) and it should move along really well

not to mention the mustang which is rated at 215 stock is actual wheel horses...
The hundai may rate theres at 240 or whatever but that is at the crank, at the wheels its MAYBE 190...
