ScottStaypuff ScottStaypuff Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/05/00 Posts: 25530 Loc: Ohio	I have the opportunity to buy the Mustang that my buddy passed up to keep his Lincoln LS. Its a 2002 GT "Premium" with 78,000 miles, leather interior, 6 disc, premium sound, autotragic, bullet wheels. This would be a replacement for my 147k Neon. Is it retarded to have a rwd car in Ohio? Or to buy a two door with less legroom/trunk space than my Neon with a 6 year old kid to haul around? ...Or should I not be such a wuss bag? Plan B would be to continue to drive the Neon until it dies and then get another cheap econo car (liability insurance only/awesome gas mileage). Theoretically giving me more money to work on my turbo Neon and Maverick project cars. blah blah blah... _________________________

I think 01 and up, they were upgraded from T45 to Tremec 3650, which is actually a very capable transmission. Although, maybe having an auto Mustang will keep you from wanting to modify it. _________________________ '94 Mustang GT Acceleration.... $\:$$ -------+-- $\:$$ Handling......... $\:$$ -------+-- $\:$$ Speed............ $\:$$ ------+--- $\:$$

ScottStaypuff ScottStaypuff Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/05/00 Posts: 25530 Loc: Ohio	The autos are at least durable? Yeah, I already have two project cars, I don't need a third. Buying this is kind of a stretch anyhow, I feel "guilty" and like I should drive a shitbox for a DD if I have two project cars... _________________________

That, plus a curb weight of almost 3300 lbs. A manual transmission would've been the only redeeming quality. As far as I'm concerned, might as well look for an auto v6 'vert. At least it has the top down factor come summertime. Good God it hurt to type that.

ScottStaypuff ScottStaypuff Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/05/00 Posts: 25530 Loc: Ohio	Nobody's feeling the love? An RDX weighs 4000lbs and is auto but you're dd'ing it and I assume loving it. I guess I should say this is definitely just a dd to replace my 03' Neon. I have a 99 Neon (stick) turbo project and a 71 Maverick Grabber project. I could keep milking the 147k 03' Neon as a daily driver to save cash or pick this Stang up. I guess a better question is, would Csi rather dd an auto Stang GT or stickshift Neon SXT? (and between gas savings/insurance/car payment the Neon lets me pocket $200/month for as long as it lasts) _________________________

madmatt madmatt Post Master Supreme Registered: 09/17/02 Posts: 24691	I love the New Edge, but the manual in my 99 GT was most of the fun. I can't imagine it would have been much fun with the auto. Slow cars compared to todays standards (and hell, even it's own era) but I loved mine. Id personally spend the $6400 on the 351 for your Maverick $;\)$

But it's practical and versatile (awd, 4 doors, good headroom, seats 5 semi-comfortably). I would go with the stick shift neon (4 doors, great mpg, low maintenance, easier to drive in winter).

ScottStaypuff ScottStaypuff Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/05/00 Posts: 25530 Loc: Ohio	After lots of thought, I think I'm keeping the Neon. I shouldn't buy a car that I could potentially start modding and turning into another project car. The Neon doesn't tempt me and is saving me money, I just need to put that money to good use. _________________________

A_Mantis A_Mantis Post Master Supreme Registered: 01/21/04 Posts: 22939 Loc: Valley of the Sun	Auto Mustang of that vintage kinda ruins it..... transforms a car that normally runs a 14 flat in the 1/4 to a low 15-sec car. http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/2002-ford-mustang-gt-page-3 At least an LS1 f-body will still run high 13's/14 flat with an auto. I'd hold out for an LS1 car or manual Mustang GT. _________________________

auxilary auxilary Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/17/00 Posts: 33419 Loc: Zimbabwe	you're comparing a 10 year old autotragic mustang to an acura rdx. apples to oranges. if you want a daily driver, mustang can do it, but if it's a daily driver, wouldn't you rather be able to comfortably fit someone in the back? or have 4 doors? If you have 6500 to spend and want something more fun, the answer is always miata

UglyValiant UglyValiant Post Master Sr Registered: 10/09/02 Posts: 6364 Loc: Milwaukee, WI	Get it...limit the mods you do. Get winter wheels/tires and enjoy. Personally, I'd likely get it, do headers/exhaust/CAI along with a swap to 3.73's or even 4.10's and maybe swap to a higher stall TC and that would be it. It'll feel quick, easy to drive in traffic, sound terrific...and with the winter wheels/tires and a couple sandbags, traction control, limited slip diff, be okay pretty decent in the snow. _________________________ 1979 Dodge Lil' Red Express Truck 1989 Shelby CSX (#500/500) The most powerful production minivan money can buy.

Keep your fucking neon that owes you nothing and drive it ALL.THE.WAY into the fucking ground. This, I tried to talk my GF into doing the same thing, but she was so worried about her car breaking down she bought a new one. I just had had enough of listening to it, but every so often she regrets the new payment/higher insurance. Consolidate which project you want and get rid of the other, you will get more stuff done. Otherwise you are just storing cars, tell me how I know $;\)$

ScottStaypuff ScottStaypuff Post Master Supreme Registered: 03/05/00 Posts: 25530 Loc: Ohio	Yeah, not gonna get the Stang. After all the looking I've been doing I made a pact with myself to not even think about a different daily driver until the Neon is finished. I need to know if I'd rather have a turbo Neon and a miscellaneous "shitbox" share daily driving duties or if I'd rather just sell both and have one nicer daily driver. I was going to finish the Neon over the spring but ended up putting a full court press on finding a new job. Happy to say I finally found one so that should free up some time. Just have to find some money! _________________________
