![]() I posted this in 2 sections to try and get as many reponses as possible. I figured both are acceptable
I want to get a 94-98 Mustang. What would you years do you guys think are the best? Also does anyone have some tricks for getting insurance lowered. Anyone pay under $200 for a V8 of those years? Thank ------------------ Visit my website at http://metofl.spedia.net! |

![]() I would reccomend getting the 98 10 more ponys than the 96/97. With the 94/95 there is more room to work with using the 5.0l and also less expensive. If you are in the market for a new stang I would suggest test driving the 00 Gt 35hp more than 98 and 45 more than 96/97 they also handle much better. I just traded in my 97Gt for a 00GT and I love it.
I was paying around 80 dollars a month for the 97 now it went up to 90 a month. This is with State Farm and a not so great record. Your age will make a difference and how much you drive. |

![]() If a '99 GT is out of your range, I would get a '94-'95 5.0L GT and spend the difference on heads or other upgrades. Or maybe instead of a '98 GT, look for maybe a used '96 Cobra. If you're planning of modding, I would stay away from the '96-'98 GTs, unless you are ready to drop some $$ after the price of the car.

![]() Yep, if you want a fast mustang, don't get a 96-98 GT. Unless you've got a lot of disposible income. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably get a 95 5.0 and then hi-po parts are a lot cheaper. Heads for a mod motored car are $1900 (incl. computer) and the 99-00 with returnless fuel system means there'll be a lot of parts that aren't backwards compatible to the 96-98's and probably make 96-98 hi po parts scarce in the near future.
Just 2 cents from a 96 GT owner... ------------------ 96 GT: KB subs, March pulleys, Bassani X pipe, 3.73's, alum. drive shaft, 70mm TB, K&N, KB Carbon Kevlar BP, Steeda Tri-ax shifter, Flowmasters, MSD wires H&R springs, Tokico Illuminas,MM C/C plate & GW RLCA sitting in the garage waiting for a free weekend... |

![]() If you can't pony up the money for a 99 up...
which most of us can't, then go for the 94 to 95 Cobra. My theory has always been, if you can't afford the new "good one" then drop back a few years and get the top-of-the-line. With just a few modifications, gears, x-pipe and a good tune-up, these cars will run deep in the 13s. You can find them for $11-$15,000 dollars, depending on their condition. I work for Nationwide, so there are several factors come into play, but basically the older the car the cheaper the insurance. Mine is $400 a year full coverage. Goodluck & happy hunting. ------------------ Chuck Riley 94 "real" street Cobra 12:10s on Nittos (blown) |
