Only thing I'm not crazy about on the Mustangs are the shifter placement. Seems too far forward for my subby arms. Congrats on the new car though.

So she thinks that you have a little weiner? just kidding dude, that's cool. Each to his own, I'm not much for the American muscle cars of the mid 80's early 90's. The engines are cool, but the quality of the cars, and the engine lights that are always on, just drives me crazy.

4.6L is alright. Getting a Centrifigual supercharger and some different gears to match would be nice

You would be surprised the quality has definitly improved, given they are not like our hondas or acuras but pretty damn good. Of course there are always lemons. But for the price of a stock 94 Intergra RS, I had to swoop this pony up. Adult owned 113K super clean unmodified except for the short throw shifter.

They still make the 350's, in the form of the LS1's is the Camaro's & Firebirds and the LS6 in the Corvette Z06. You don't really think of those cars when you say Muscle though, but those aluminum LS1's sure are one hell of a powerplant.

Well you're sort of right. The Camaro, Firebird and TransAm (F Body cars) are all out of production, and I believe the only car left using the 350ci displacement is the vette.

To the guy who started this thread, enjoy it, but realise that getting loose in that car takes a whole different approach than getting loose in your HB. Hanging it out is easy, keeping it under control is the tough part

they are starting to put some power back into them. Although i'd never own a ford (I don't care for their product) the new mustang looks realy nice and with 390hp it would be hard to pass it up if someone offered me one
I love my car, but i also love the torque that my truck has. I've only owned 2 v-8's the first was a 99 durango with a 5.9ltr and my current truck with the 4.7ltr.
