Default Picked Up A '98 GT Today

Very clean car, except for the flames on the front end. I ended up paying $3,000 cash for the car. Has 120,xxx miles, full power options, new tires & fresh paint.

Upgrades:
BBK cold air intake
BBK underdrive pullies
2 1/2" pipes with "H" pipe to Flowmasters with turn downs

I don't really know much about Mustangs as far as where to start modifying it, but I'll do my research. One thing I know I don't like right away is the shifter, it's so "clicky" and a long reach. It's just going to be a nice clean daily driver.

What Mustang forums would you guys recommend I join?

Thanks man. I've honestly never been a "Mustang Man" but this car caught my eye when I first moved into this neighborhood.

just a heads up the mach stereo is a wiring nightmare. If it works dont mess with it. If you want to go faster put heads from a 99-04 on it they are called pi (performance improved) are good for like 50 hp. The heads and a 100 shot make these cars fun to drive.

Excuse my ignorance, but since this is a '98. So wouldn't it already have those heads on it, or am I missing something?

no like he said the pi heads came on the 99-04's...you have a 98...98<99, therefore no pi heads.

oh and the car looks pretty decent, not a big fan of the blue painted interior pieces though, but maybe thats just me.

Man... I'm an idiot, sorry I just misread it. I wasn't feeling the blue interior pieces at first etheir but they're ok now. The whole interior has been profesionally repainted, custom leather and head liner were done too.

I am a fan of the stock look, but this isn't too bad. Aslong as it's not chipping off and looking Hondtastic.

Very nice for 3000. I bought my bone stock 95 gt for 2700. Seems like a lot but its so hard to find a 5.0 that was not tampered with.

nice car though! take care of her!!!
