myplasticegg Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm thinking about switching up my daily to a notchback/coupe foxbody mustang. I'm feeling the 2.3/T5 for the running gear. What do you guys think? I am not too worried about winter driving; I always make sure to double time for trips when the white stuff is out. I haven't driven one of these and want to know how the ride is compared to say... a lowered 95 sl2 that drinks as much oil as gas... thanks, Shane PS, turbo is not even on the table at this point in time.

zeeboost Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 The 2.3 is a great little engine, but my gawd it has no balls. It would make a gread DD if you don't want to speed around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 That was my very first car. 79 2.3 Mustang with 4 speed. I called it the Mousestang. It was smurf blue on smurf blue with wood veneer. What a pile of crap that thing was. With my prior experience, I'd pass... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRTY260Z Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 This is one of the current DD. it's a 93 (just don't pay attention to the skid marks, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamH Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Those are really boring cars that don't handle very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myplasticegg Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 I'm cool with it being gutless, i drove a 1 litre metro as a daily throughout high school. As for the handling, suspension is something that I am willing to put some money into over time. Thanks for the replies! Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 One bonus is the Junk yards around here are full of spare parts for the 4cyl Fox bodies, it should be inexpensive to keep a DD on life support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
