Motor has been swapped to a carb. Still have FI stuff that will go with car.

I replyed and told him if it had a clean title and had no major problems id be there saturday to pick it up.

I love the color.

 

[ShagsSupra]

And for you stang haters... well I hate alot of em myself but this thing is nice

 

[SupraMario]

booo,
man its still the fugly model, if it was 60's hell yea, but.
and u wont be able to sell it for that much, to many mustangs on the road.

you're wrong dead, foxbodys are the few cars that actually go up in value when modded, they have the bulletproof bottom end of the 5.0 to thank...

nice swap shags, you'll be better on 4 wheels anyway.... and that color....
:greddy:

 

[Supra Blues]

yeah, not feelin the color, but I think you came out better in the deal.

I'd sell it though.

i guess its just were you are located, here everyone and their grandma drives damn 5.0 stangs and camaros. i see them going for cheap.

 

[jbsupra89t]

Nice car, I personally think it's one of the better looking foxbody's (no ground effects, no horizontal taillight covers... BLECH). The color is fine, reminds me of Mike92LX's... Good luck with the car

Umm... I could get U a 12 second Fox body for a good bike... probably cash also... lol

Maybe me and Dead live in highly populated mustang country.... I swear if people aren't driving Hondas, they're driving a Mustang.... Never been a fan of the Fox body....

 

[Loki]

I see Mustangs everyday, tons apon tons fo them to be exact. One of my best friends has a fox Mustang and they are nice cars, very easy to mod.

 

[lanky189]

well i work in a town where 9 in 10 folks must own a mustang or some shit.. and a properly modded foxbody can easily grab more than blue book value to the right buyer..

i wasnt tryin to be a dick deadcell..just kinda sayin..they sell well when modded unlike most other cars of their age.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

You've got an mkII now, what do U care Lanky? :biglaugh:

 

[lanky189]

i dont! hahah..i know im slower! i have been for a year now...think is.. lets see one of them enter a turn at the same speed i do while they're wearing there 4 inch wide draglites up front...

my theory..if it can't turn...i can't own it.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

and THAT'S why U got an mkII, right?

 

[lanky189]

yup..that and they are sexy as hell! i love the sharp lines

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

Thats what SHE said.... :biglaugh:

wait.... does that even make sense?

 

[ShagsSupra]

Welp got back intouch with him clean title woo!

Also it dynos at 326 wheel HP and 352 Torque the guy says.

So Ill be getting it monday, would be getting it tomarow but he had to watch his kids and couldnt meet me halfway and drive them back on the bike haha.

Future mods? Only thing I have in mind that would go nice with it is some trickflow heads and a Nice blower

Also theres alot of Mustangs around here, some very nice 1's too a guy I know in an automatic stang ran his car in the 1/4 in first gear only and blew it up and coasted for a 14 second run haha.. I live in rednecks ville and I love it.. Muscle cars everywhere turn me on more then import exaust notes, I love mk3's none the less tho!

 

[SupraOfDoom]

My friend has one... and all gotta say is No!

 

[ShagsSupra]

alot of people keep saying no... I dont understand??? Best bang for the buck performance wise.. you can get a stock 5.0 for 3000$ and invest 5000$ somtimes way less into performance and run 10's, now I love supras but I dont see many if ANY supras in the 10's with 8000$ TOTAL invested.

Put aside the fact you see mustangs everywhere, some people like being unique and I do...but hell ive had a thing against mustangs since ive had a car period and there is 1 friend with a mustang I have that I wanna beat so bad and never really could cause mod for mod he could own my ass in my GTP and my Slopra, Also another buddy of mine has a Pontiac Firehawk im DESTIN to beat!!!

with 3500-4k$ invested in my GTP I could break into 11's with my GTP PROBLY.. and im not exactly going for 10's or 11's Ive always wanted a respectable mid 12 second car, well now if I get this... I can spray 100 shot with current mods and be in the high 11's .

Other thenseeing alot of them I dont see why so much hate on them, I will admit I have hated them forever seriously ive beat 5.0's in my NA automatic supra.. but they were ragged and I talked trash... now that I sit back and look at the background for parts for 5.0's the mod for mod potential.... Ive always loved the looks of a Foxbody... and can be made into viper kills with just a PORTION of the price.

Also most of you might have supra buddys and all that and be able to work on them all together... well not where I live I wanna have friends with the same kinda cars, and here is a video of Mustangs all in my area... I mean 90% of these cars are right in my town or within a few hours away, Myrtle beach SC is 30 min away from me where all of these were taken, and yes some of them show wilmington where im at

Here we go:

A) They are fugly ..... IMO, the only good factor they have going for them isa huge cowl and slicks, some intimidation factor.

B) I like seeing over 20 mpg personally, even in a sports car.

C) It's a Ford

D) Even though it's not the biggest deal in the world, 99% of girls will think its ugly as shit ( Only 90% of guys though ).

E) Did I mention its ugly : Supra vs 5.0 ( one of my good friends mustangs ) :

F) They don't handle, manual rack or PS rack, I've driven both. I'm sorry but cars that are intended for ALL around performance will give you a longer , better enjoyment factor.



As for the MKIII's running 10's for under 8g's... I don't know, there probably are a few, I'm not sure but I bet slow66 was right around that number if not close and ran a 10.5x. Also maseo and his friend are doing CRAZY numbers / times on low budgets 10's and 9's. Also, there is a upgraded ct, guy spent $3000 on car and ran a 12 flat.. he lives in wi .

EVEN if you can get more straight line downlow performance per dollar over a MKIII, the MKIII will get more OVER all performance per dollar. So if you measure pro's and con's of both, the Toyota would run all over it.

Although this is very off topic, since this is about your bike for a 5.0. Really its up to you, but other then the loads of rediculous torque and straightline performance, it doesn't have much to offer , IMO!

^_^ GL whatever u decide.

**Edit** and the COMMUNITY.... not nearly as good as us cool supra owners, me especially :biglaugh:

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

Wow... with the 2 side-by-side........
That's awesome how the Ford is up on the jacks... Not that mkIII's are much better about it.... but....
Dang I never knew they looked THAT bad... (GT would be equally as crappy)
