    mustang help?

    My younger brother is shopping for a v6 mustang. I know..... :sigh: But, my parents veto-ed anything with a v8 and the car has to have 35,000miles or less and still be in his price range. There are NO f-bodies within 100miles of him that meet those requirements... there all $2-3k more than the stang.

    Anyone know of an informative site for a v6 mustang. Right now we are looking for information on what gear options came on the stock car and if any of them came with a posi rear-end.

    Thanks for the help.

    How about a GNx? :D

    3.8mustang.com is a pretty informative site with a forum and stuff. Did they explain why no V8? Insurance? Too much power? Gas? I'm pretty sure none of them came with a posi except maybe Cobra's. Is he only interested in an American car?

          he wants a 2 door coupe. well... actually he was going to buy a truck, but with gas prices he backed down from that.

          he just turned 17, insurance would absolutely kill him on a v8. That, and no 17 year old needs a v8. Its asking for trouble.... He's buying the car, but parents are covering insurance, so nothing with a v8 or SS label.

          Price limit is $12k More interested in american, thank God. I was trying to talk him into a Buick Riviera, but he is more into style than speed.

                Damn, lol. No SS, no V8, No GNx. I guess nothing but a V6 Mustang is left. But hey, they can be made semi fast with a few bolt ons [img]smile.gif[/img]

                  Get a 5 speed. Whatever you do get a five speed. The autos are slow slow slow. Don't make that mistake.

                    I think I have convinced him of that much at least.

                    thanks for the sites.

                    Does anyone know what gearing options the 3.8 mustangs had and if ANY of them came with the T-lock posi from the factory? Im digging around and still cant find the answer, and just like here newbie questions take awhile to find the right person willing to give a straitforward answer.

                      Limited slip was not an option on V6 stangs, gearing choices were either 2.73 or 3.27 -- depending on year. But stangs are cake to work on, get an 8.8" rear off a GT with limited slip to replace his 7.5" and BOOYA, it'll handle any sort of power he throws at it with that V6....
