Got some Questions
First off, i would like to introduce myself. I am a new member, 28years old, and would like to say hi. I have been into bikes for some time and have owned a 79 yamaha 750, 2 92 honda cbr f2s, and currently have a suzuki gsxr 750 and a 92 f2 track bike. As far as autos, i have a 82 jeep cj7, under restoration, and a 99 caddi deville rollin on 18" rims.
I am planning on getting a 99-02 GT coupe and was wondering what changes were made in those years. Drive train, interior options, recalls or any mid year changes. I appreciate any info you all can give and look foreward to givivng my own input to the board in the future. |
RE: Got some Questions
Well if you know Ford then you should know that in '97 they changed to the 4.6 liter engine. As of '99 they put Pi heads on it to get more performance and in '02 they changed the compression from 9.0 to 9.4 to make it a little better on gas, but it still sucks down a tank pretty fast. They also switched to a new tranny I believe in '01 which is designated the 3650. I hear on here that its suppose to be able to handle 425 HP but hates to be power shifted during a race. They say the syncro's give pretty easy under harsh conditions. Third gear is always a bitch, just get a short throw. The rear end is now a 3.27 instead of the 3.08 or the 2.73. Just about everyone here has, wants or plans on switching to a 4.10 rearend. They say thats the best gear for the car to get the most performance out of it.
uuhhh... I think I covered most of the big changes. If I missed something someone here will help me out and correct me if Im wrong. ;) |
