This car is a BLAST. It takes off like a demon that 4.6 V8 really moves. It gets a little crazy on the corners when your on power but a very good handling car. As far as quality goes I seem to go through tires quickly :). I did however have to replace the radiator at 118500 miles. Gas milage isn't all that great and parts are on the more expensive side. Despite the cost to own I wouldn't get rid of this car for the world. Even if gas gets up $5 a gallon.

Pros — Fun, fast, sexy
Cons — tires cost alot, and it's very thirsty for gas

well i own this 96 gt/steeda it has the g-trac suspension along with a stage 3 clutch and cobra rearend. nothing really to fancy under the hood yet all it has is a cold air intake. but i have ordered a set of aluminum heads for it along with a paxton novi 2000 supercharger. im in the process of ordering the bottom end of the motor im just trying to figure out what kind of crank, rods and cam i want to go with and how far i want to bore this pony out. other then that the car was an arizona car so it has no rust and only a few rock chips in the fiberglass hood which ill get taken care of.

Pros — 5 speed/triax short shifter/cobra rearend/g-trac suspension/ ALL STEEDA PARTS
Cons — wear in the drivers seat and steering wheel

Bought the car second hand been maintenance free for the 15,000 k or so that ive owned (150,000km when i bought it) it and hopefully for many more to come. All around a pretty good car.

Super quick acceleration, pretty reliable, SOUNDS AMAZING!!!!!! Cheap performance.

Cons: Crazy Expensive to run- burns gas like none other, typical ford build quality the interior is pretty crapily put together

Pros — Fast, Sounds amazing, good looking car
Cons — Expensive to run, poor interior build quality

Pulls great through all gears due to square torque curve.  True muscle car feel without a lot of negative drawbacks

Pros — Easy to fix because parts are everywhere...  Not too bad on gas for a V8...
Cons — plastic interrior...

Wanted a Mustang since i graduated high school in 1988 and finally got this Pacific Green 4.6 in 1996. It was a present to me. First mod was MAC cat-back exhaust and Jamex springs. It was on from then. Now it has all the bolt-ons. It has a 2004 4.6 motor, C&L intake plenum, 75mm Accufab TB, intake spacer, MAC fenderwell CAI, Motoblue pulleys, Chrome Radiator hoses, MAC Longtube headers and ProChamber pipe, Diablo sport tuned chip by MV Performance, FMS aluminum drive shaft, tokico rear shocks, 3:73 gears, black tail light bezels, clear corner lights, sequentail tail lights, S351 rear spoiler, 17" Cobra R rims, Pioneer CD Player, 2 10" JBL woofers and a Flex Alpine amp. Over all I love the car, I love working on it and most of all I Love how it sounds. That entire MAC exhaust sounds great. I get more compliments about that, than anything else. Didnt want to be like everyone else and get Flowmasters. People always say " Hey, that doesnt sound like flowmasters..." and I just smile and say thats because its not. :-)

Pros — Car has huge fun factor, powerful, inexpensive until you start modifications. LOL. Love mustangs or love to hate them, they are always a conversation piece.
Cons — Everybody has one. There are some many mods to chose from it can sometimes be overwhelming to a mustang new comer. They dont handle too great out the box. Burns tons of gas but it is a V8. LOL
