Default New Daily Driver!

I know it's a Mudstain .... but its better than driving a 95 aqua looking colored Explorer. I traded a friend of mine the Explorer for the Stang since his parents didn't want him driving it anymore.

A little LS1 is going to be sitting really nice in this engine bay in the very near future.

Not bad at all, those Mustangs are half bad but the 2v modulars they come with stock in the GTs, yikes. I have always been a closet Mustang fan

My buddy works on those 2v motors & he's got his G/F's 00 GT running 12.ohz with cams, LT's, bolt ons, tuning & MT DR's.....he has a 2 step & launches at 5500 or more RPMs tho His race weight is around 3200#.

Good luck with it. I think the LS1 swap would be cool, but if it really is a daily driver, I'd just keep the 2v...at least you can run 87 octane

You must have been tore up. All your other posts are funny as hell too.

I'm going to put a set of HP Evo's on the Stang pretty soon and then my boy Paco can have a go at stuffing an LS1 in it.

The Explorer was a 95 with about 70k miles and the Stang has about 90k but it had a new motor put in around 75k miles after my buddy blew it spraying a little to much nitrous in it. Yeah its a GT...man is there a night and day difference driving and Fbody and then hoping into a Stang. Oh well at least it sounds good.
