Default Ground Clearance

Hello,
I hope you can help. My son has been saving his money and found a 1996 Mustang GT Coupe with a Saleen Body Kit and Flowmast Exhaust that he would love to buy.
Before we even go test drive and he falls in love with it, can you tell me if this type of car will clear speed bumps..both regular and the extra wide ones..or will it drag and tear things up?
Thanks.

assuming it is the stock ride height (hasnt had lowering springs installed) it should be fine to clear pretty much all speedbumps. im sure there are some of those Mt. Everest speedbumps that might scrape a little, but just make sure he takes it very slow and there shouldnt be any problems.

Is this like a 1st car for a new driver? Yeah if the ride height hasn't been altered then it should clear stuff like speedbumps & railway tracks no problems. But I'll guarantee you it won't clear parking lot blocks and sidewalk curbs.. sooner or later he'll find that out the "hard way". Guaranteed

speed bumps are the devil, lol. he'll be ok... just go slow, go sideways (I always do) over the big speed bumps and most importantly let know one else drive the car..
