    Exclamation HELP!! Talking my dad out of colossal mistake

    Guys, I've tried to talk my dad out of buying a 2000 v6 mustang... He's always been a v8 fanatic, but now he's going to buy his first mustang... with a F V C K I N G v6... I tried to explain to him all the reasons the gt model is better over the v8

    Not only do you get about the same gas mileage, upgraded handling, that oh so loveable v8 sound, etc... But he won't listen... he has 8 cars all v8's... WTF... Plz try and post reasons why he should just get the gt model... And make it fast he has put a refundable deposit on this v6 model I told him not to buy just yet... PLZ help me get him out of this horrible situation...

    Help... Please...

    Sadly, I see that along with the lower test levels of growing older, his testes have also been removed ........

    I like some engines other than V8s... for isntance, I own a vehicle with a supercharged and intercooled V6, but, at his age, (with the $ he's about to spend) he had better get a Cobra!

    hey bro, i got a 98 v6 (same basic model as the '00)... don't do it. trust me. i told myself if i ever got a stang i'd never go the v6, but my uncle bought me this car so i wasn't gonna be like "no, that's not good enough" (i'm 19). but seriously, drivin my v6 i feel like a piece of sh!t poser wannabe type guy. no offense to anybody else here who may have one. but i personally, with a gt, would feel much more comfortable and much better. especially when you get the nice sound comin from the dual exhaust. after you buy the V8 you should put new headers on there (and if money really is no issue whatsoever, go with the '00 cobra... be even sweeter).

    I've always felt that a Mustang with anything other than a V8 simply isn't a Mustang. What's the point in owning an American muscle car with no muscle?

    Agreed, I mean shyt, that's like buying a corvette with a 4 cylinder. Buying a Cadillac without leather and power everything.

    Do you happen to know why he picked this car? there has to be some reason for his thinking.

    I am not a ford lover or even friend, so i would tell him to by a SLP z28, and if money is no option then go and get a Lingenfelter motor for it.

    Or better yet he could get the Lingenfelter 25th commemorative C6 Corvette

    725Hp Twin turbo intercooled 427 CID

    http://www.lingenfelter.com/pack_cor_c6_427.htm



    Holy Fricken Shyt I just saw this on his site also, A 510 Bhp Cadillac CTS Big Blocks fricken Rule

    Basically, they didn't make the 2000 Cobra because of an engineering, and HP estimation fukk up..

    In the previous model year, they used poor CH designs, and overshot the HP estimate by about ~35-40hp or so....

    They had to recall the Cobras, and fix the problem (heads).... which cost them BIG dollars... and decided it was best to axe the release of 2000 Cobra's..

    They decided upon only releasing the limited edition race-ready Cobra R instead, with a 385hp 5.4L...

    Now onto Cobra history:

    To actually go back in time, there was a '79 Mustang Cobra, but, a totally different breed altogether.. just don't want anyone throwing that back in my face later lol.....

    The Ford SVT was formed in '92, and the first 1993 Mustang Cobra was built on December 17th of '92.

    Anyways, they produced 93 Cobras & Cobra R's, 94 Cobras, 95 Cobras & Cobra R's, 96 Cobras, 97 Cobras, 98 Cobras, 99 Cobras, 00 Cobra R's, 01 Cobras, 02 Cobra's, 03 Cobra's, and 04 Cobra's.

    In 2002, only a few Cobra's were made, and were basically unavailable to us. They were shipped to Australia, and converted to RHD as well...

    You're going to sh!t yourself when the Shelby Cobra GT500 comes out. It'll be available in Fall '06 as a 2007 model.

    Hope that clears it up for ya.

    I like the mn12 looks a tad better than the fox body cougar wise that is... But it's easier to mod up the fox body and I have grown to like the fox body soo much now... Planning on getting an 89-93 stang for my next car...

    Cool...

    If it were me, I'd stick with the cougar. Stangs are like assholes..... everyone's got one. Be different!

    I plan on finishing my SC in the next 16+months depending on funds... parked her in the garage for the last time til I restore her. Blown small block to come when the $ does....

    yeah bro. thanks for all the info. and i've already seen the new cobra's... one of the sickest cars i've seen in a long while. you can go to www.ford.com and they should have a link to some auto show where the new shelby was first shown. they're just amazing.
