I realy like the looks, but i would also like a fast car. </P>
How many horses do you think that this car has?</P>
Would this mustang be fast and perform goodor does all the mods just make it look like that?</P>

Well we dont know theoverall condition of the car, but an average 94 gt books for about 5k, with low miles like that it would book for around 6k. Im with Dan dont pay more than 7k for it tops, you could always buy another for 4 - 5 k and do what mods you want.

i payed 6600 for my 95 gt it was a little too much but it is in perfect condtionand has 100k and a newly rebuilt engine. 7k is not too much to pay for that car 50K miles is very rare for a 94 mustang. the car probly has about 180-190 to the wheels and you will run about a 14.9 or so because of the rear end.

180-190 hp. i would have thought that this car would have more than that. Why would different rear end drain HP. Why did they put in this rear end? I can't beleive that the car i have now has more horses than this mustang.</P>

Keep in mind, 94 & 95 was the worst year for 5.0's. HP numbers were low...</P>
It's ironic how the 5.0's were the slowest V8's in an SN95...yet 4.6's are still frowned upon even when the latest make more hp than 5.0's ever did from the factory. <IMG src=smileys/smiley12.gif border="0"></P>
The reason why I asked if you wanted performance or looks...was for that reason
If you were looking for a 1/4 mile car, for 7-8k you could pick up a highly modified SBC running under 13's that would most likely be fully restored, rather than paying 7-8k for a low 15 sec when you expected faster times and spent all your money buying it!!</P>
