Sold out but im buying another 5.0!(Bought.. Now with pics!)
Yeah.. The 84 in my sig i sold for practically nothing a few months back.. Then i bought this..
Awesome car. I love it and it dyno'd at 320rwhp with just basic bolt ons.. But i miss the simplicity of a 5.0 mustang. Believe it or not but i had to pay 20$ EACH for spark plugs to fit the oem specs. I pissed myself right there. I was used to paying 16 bucks for 8 plugs.
So i went on a little search for a beater 5.0 so i can fix up and not worry about dumbasses smashing their car doors on my camaro.
Found a 1990 GT for 2k. Its red with a aftermarket hood on it..17" cobra rs. Registered and smogged with a pretty clean interior. im going to pick it up tomorrow hopefully and will take it to this maaco in my area which has some decent people working there and their work isnt bad at all. Getting a 400$ job on it and calling it a day.
If i dont get that one for some reason. I have 2 others im looking at aswell.
So its nice to be back in the 5.0 game =D
To add some purpose to this thread.. What exhaust set up would give me a nice deep throaty sound? Im sure the offroad h pipe im going to buy is a step in the right direction..
