i haven't put any rear end gears in my 6er, or done any engine work beyond a Cold Air Intake and UDP's and new belt. so, the question is... should i sell my 'Stang for $4000-$5000 and get a Mustang GT of the same year, or should i use the bonus i am getting ($5000, taxed) and build the V6 for the 'dare to be different' value?

I would go with something different, GT or Corba. "Better platform to build on"

I'd ge a 8. It has a hell of a lot more potential than the six, and by the time you fix up the 6 you could have REALLY fixed up an 8.

im sure you can find a 8.8 rear end and drop in a 5.4 liter into your current car for an affordable amount of. i dont know what you mean by "build" but my thoughts on building a car is turning it into a badass street machine that will leave C-5 and C-6 vette owners crying themselves to sleep because a mustang killed them.

horsepower for horsepower, the c5's will blow the mustang away. i remember a 420whp vette vs a 550hp cobra race. vette blew him away

unless i see it in person i aint buying it...i will tell you i got my *** handed to me buy a 2001 cobra with 4.30 gears 10 pounds of boost after 110 MPH...before that it was neck and neck with me losing ground after each shift.


if i need to elaborate most C-5/C-6 vette owners do not mod their cars but try to flex on mustangs until they realize that their cars aint **** when it comes down to your own creation.

Keep the 6er for the insurance value, and spend the bonus on getting an 8 from a junkyard and rebuild to be nasty.

I sold my old '99 V6 w/115k miles for $4,000. It's possible, especially if you find someone who likes the looks of the sn95s.
