NEW!!!! Well, I am.
 

Unfortantly, my car isn't. :( I wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm new to this site, but a member on a few others. I hope you guys are just as friendly as I will be posting alot of questions about my sixer. Being broke and a woman doesnt help getting my car fixed. So yeah, I'm learning as I go. I have a 98 3.8, please don't laugh...although I do. :D I had to pick the worst year possible as my first stang. Still loving it though.

Hi! We do have a forum for 3.8 specific questions under the title 'Small Ponies', which might be of some help to you in the future.

For now, we simply welcome you to the 'community' and hope you'll visit us often.

Hi lsustang,

All Mustangers are welcome here... glad to have you join us. :)

I think you'll be hard pressed to find anybody that would agree with you that 1998 is the worst of the Mustangs. A lot of users will stand by the 1974-1978 Mustang II as being the bottom of the barrel or 1971-1973 (my least favorite group). The 1998 cars weren't my favorite, but they're not bad.

Thank you for welcoming me.

Unit 5302...I need to make a correction. Yes the mustang II would have to be the worst of the worst, but I meant replacement parts and upgrades for the 98.

Actually, I rather like the Mustang II's. I think most people that dislike them have never driven them. They're much lighter and more nimble than the practical station wagons from 1971-1973. With the 302ci V-8, and they actually performed similar or better than most of the engine options in the previous generation even in a straight line because they weighed about 1000lbs less (not joking about the weight advantage).

Sure, they're basically a Pinto, but as painful as it may be to hear, the fox body Mustang's were similarly related to the Ford Fairline/Mercury Zepher.

My first car was a 1977 Ford Mustang II V-8 Fastback with the C-4 transmission. It was quick out of the hole, had a very attractive instrument cluster, well laid out controls, and it was very responsive. I felt it also looked a heck of a lot better than a lot of the vehicles on the road at the time.

To each their own though.

Hi everyone, it's been awhile since i've been able to get on. Well, I have done a few things to the stang. Nothing major yet. Lack of money continues to hold back performance plans. :p But I have removed my pin striping and the rocker stripes, as well as lowered the front end. I have yet to attempt the back but I kinda like it. It looks more like a dragster. How do I post pics?
