'98 GT Owner Here

Welcome to the forum, John.

Thanks!

You should have financed a 94-95 GT/Cobra instead, you have one of the slowest mustangs ever. It does look really clean though, especially the interior. Loose the dished rear wheels, your car will never make use of all that rubber. I have an 03 Mach 1 with 245's in the rear and I manage.

Hey hey hey, Hold your horses there bro! lol. Id rather own a 98 GT than a damn foxbody. What a 91 GT made like 175hp? At least a 98 made almost 200hp. lol. They also look a hell of alot better. Mod motor also sound better better than those 302s. The foxbodies were slower than these cars. Not sure about the coupe though. And that lame ass excuse for a mustang, the mustang cobra II.

Both the later 5.0s and the 4.6 are rated at 225hp, and the foxbody is lighter. My '98 dynoed at 190ish to the wheels through a manual tranny. The Cobra got the GT40 top end for a little extra grunt, so a 94-95 Cobra would be essentilly the same car, but with more power (and the cosmetic stuff like the hood and bumper).

I love the SN95s, and would give anything to have my project back in the condition that I sold it in (FRPP top end and blower, but apart), but you definitely over pid for that car not even factoring in interest.

94-95 is not a foxbody.

Clappin it out?




Did you finance the car with missing center cap?

i actually paid $3000 cash for that black Mustang and when I got it, it looked like this...






Turned it into this:




I financed my '98 Mustang GT:

[Sn95John]

That's right, you had that riced out auto accord. Then you moved to Austin and worked at enterprise, blah blah later you're back and over paid for a mustang.

Just giving you shit Jones. You know damn well that when it comes to cars and general life decisions you make some crappy choices.

Sent from my Galaxy S III

I'll admit to making some shitty decisions on the cars. The Accord was probably my worst decision, the 01' Monte Carlo SS was the second, and the '99 Grand Prix GTP was my third worst decision.
My Honda was riced the fuck out LOL but I atleast attempted to turn it around and made it look decent by the time I was done with it...

So, you traded in your 1999 F150 for a 1998 Mustang GT AND you're making payments for 2 years?

[Sn95John]

Yes.
The F150 had 230,000 miles on it and was really unneeded I just bought it for the hell of it.
I have no problem with making payments on my car really.

[BttleFedC10]

94-95 is not a foxbody.

No shit.. Lol. They were the junkiest outta the SN-95s though.

[Skidmark]

Well, the truck blue books private for 3 to 3500, so you paid 12k for your mustang in total?

foxbodies are not slower than these cars. Hell mikes stock coupe with some free mods and a good driver beat my 275rw 97 cobra and hung with mach 1's all the time.

12k with the interest added, yeah sounds about right.

The fact of the matter is I know I overpaid, I knew that from day one but I didn't care it was the car I wanted and there was no dealership within 60mi radius that would finance me not to mention had the Mustang I wanted, trust me I had spent the whole weekend driving around Saturday and Sunday looking for a newer Mustang, sure they were at dealerships but I wasn't able to finance through a big dealership (grand prairie ford for example). I found Thunder City Motors and went there to check out the Mustang initially had no intention to buy it what so ever, I looked at the car, test drove it and fell in love with it. The dealership wasn't your everyday "corner lot" they sold nice cars like:
1982 fully restored Rolls Royce
1967 full restored Ford Mustang

Look all I'm trying to say is you guys don't have to sit here and tell me I made off with a shit deal, I know what I paid for it and I know I overpayed and I'm willing to live with it, as long as I love my car and it runs great then I'm a happy camper lol

btw heres that Mustang they have for sale..

[Skidmark]

Dude, you could have bought that restored 67 for 12k!

[Sn95John]

Highly doubtful.
If my 98 was overpriced imagine how much the '67 would be
