Help me decide on a 90s Mustang...

Jan 11, 2004 18 Replies

I need advice on the best Mustangs from the 90s. I want a convertible, and I'd rather it be the 6 cylinder, although that's flexible depending on the deals I find. I want to stay well under $10K.



Thanks!


Why do you prefer a 6 cylinder? You shouldn't have any trouble finding a

90's model 5.0 in your area or somewhere else for under $10k. KJ

If you want a V6 it would have to be a '94 and up. You can also get a '94-'95 convertible(my favorite of the 90's convertibles) for well undre

10K. Erik D. '94 white lightning

I would actually recommend 96-98 as they have the better headgaskets and slightly more HP.

Ahh, I didn't know that! I was just saying 94-95 cause I like the lights better, and the GT's have the 5.0, of course :) Erik D. '94 white lightning

Yea, but I get to have the all so neat sequential turn signals AND my 97 has the 5.0 :-)~

Yeah, the sequential thing is neat. When they aren't sequential though I like the 94-95 style lights better though. Your '97 is a sweet ride, thats for sure. Any new mods lately? Erik D. '94 white lightning

I could make the '94-95 look just as sequential as Tim's '96-98 setup. They'd pulse outwards, not top to bottom, just like Tim's.

;-)

Personally, though, I prefer the '96-98 lights as well.

I am actually looking into doing this on our 95 convertible, just need to place two seperators inside the housing to divide it into three sections.

Erik, I am actually looking into

need to get up there (about 1 hour away) and do some measuring to see if Ican squeeze it under the hood.

Tim, I'll e-mail you my thoughts. My e-mail addy is an @bellatlantic.net address.

I think that would be pretty sweet! I love the sound an eaton makes :) More than the sound I love the power. Good luck getting it to fit, I think it will! Erik D. '94 white lightning

Why in the world would you want a v6 when you can get a good used v8 for slighly more? Dont do it dude, you are going to be dissapointed.....tom

Partially because a V6 is a huge leap up from my 4 cyl Cavalier piece of s*it. Partially because I live in L.A. and you can never go faster than 20 anyway. Partially because I'm not a speedy gotta-get-there driver like everyone else seems to be. And partially because I don't feel like having something that sucks up gas.

Fair warning: The Mustang 3.8L V6 (both new and old) typically sucks down almost as much gas as the V8. :)

When my 94GT was still running 12.4 in the 1320, I was getting 28MPG on the highway, and around 18MPG in town. KJ

Yeah, when my '93 had TFS heads, a 331 stroker kit, TFS stage 2 cam, TFS track heat intake, 3.73 gear, 30 psi injectors, 190 lph fuel pump, etc. etc. It still got 25 mpg on the highway at 80 :) Erik D. '94 white lightning

Yep, mine was cruising at about 85mph. KJ

Sweet, something about these cars just makes them get good mileage. I guess its because they are semi light and aerodynamic. I only hope for

15-16mpg in my truck on the interstate. One thing I miss about that car is the gas mileage. Erik D. '94 white lightning
