Who me?
Absolutely!! I love it.. it can corner effortlessly like nobody's business. Its funny, because friends ride with me and they're like "you really like taking those corners!" when I didn't even think I was pushing it that hard. God help me if I ever have to drive another car Also, the engine's broken in now, so I can finally take it over 4k rpm oh man its got such a kick in the pants around 5-5.5k, I LOVE IT
Must be a SOHC deisel.
3.8-liter V6 OHV pushrod motor was responsible for power again for the 1997 base model, and was a highly respected motor. The motor was capable of producing 150 horsepower and 220 pounds of torque. This horsepower rating was a boost during the 1996 model and proved sufficient enough that no upgrades were made for the 1997 model year, at least in this arena.
Yep just looked it up, my car has 220 ft/lbs of torque and 155 horsepower.
Is that a good rofl, as in you don't believe me? Or a bad rofl as in that is shit? Cause our 2002 makes 193 bhp if you are curious.
That's...not good. My N/A 13B motor pulled 140 out of the line. Take out the AC/PS/Emissions/add performance exhaust/tinker a little bit more and you'll hit 160ish no problem.
It was a bad rofl
Oh ok, cause if I put $300 into a supercharger made by ford for the Thunderbird Supercoupe (same 3.8 engine, only supercharged) I can make well over 300 hp.
It's also 10 years old. The new V6 from Ford, the 4.0L gets 210 hp. And I meant that it would cost $300 for new injectors, the supercharger, etc. etc. etc.
Edit: But hell, it's a really nice $400 car, you can't get much nicer than that for less, unless you get it for free or $1 or something.
I've seen stock 4 cylinders pull 150 hp out of the line, though. Sure it's the cheapest model mustang, but damn, they could have at least just put a decent 4 cylinder in there. Would have been better on gas a bit, that way too.It might be a cheap car, but it's still fun to drive. Remember the V6 is the base version: the cheapest mustang it was possible to buy. If you wanted a performance mustang you bought a Cobra, with over 300 hp stock it's hard to beat in its price range.

VW's n/a 2.0l 4 cylinder made 175hp in the early 90's. It was known as the ABF motor, however at the same time they had the 172hp vr6 and they didn't want to have the 4cyl motor making more power than their 6cylinder so they chipped it differently and brought it down to 150. Placing it right in between the 132hp 2.0l (9a) and the 172hp vr6.
I always thought that was pretty good, especially for the day.

Oh well, that's OK. People who have those cumstains think they have a fast car because it's a mustang...then I'll just race 'em and call it good.
They did put a 4 cyl in the fox body mustangs, and the Mustang SVO pulled 185 hp from 1984 to 1986. With a new cam and turbo you could pull over 400 hp from the inline 4. However it was a performance mustang and came with Koni shocks and cost a lot more than the 5.0L which made the same horsepower. I get OK gas with around 23 mpg or so. And believe me I would never race my car, its just fun to drive, as in it is better than a Taurus.
What isn't better than a Taurus!?
*ZING*
My mustang is better than a taurus. I like it because I could be talking to some girls and they are like "ohh I love Mustangs!" And also I just hate driving front wheel drive cars.
Yes, Fronts piss me off. And I don't know why girls like Mustangs so much. They are EVERYWHERE. At least pick a car with a better body style, like an RX-7...OK so I'm biased, haha. I can literally play the "mustang game" and count up to 20 cumstains down the road in 5ish blocks. That's on a slow day. It's quite sad in this town.
I know there are far too many, but most chicks I know don't even know what an RX-7 is. Not that I'm biased or anything, but when I tell girls about my car the general response is: "Oh my God, Mustangs are sooo sexy!"

oh my GOD! What did you do to that thing?! The rims themselves are sort of OK..but the color?! Are you black?
SVO engineers opted to pass over the venerable Boss 302 in lieu of an updated, turbocharged, and stronger version of Ford's 2.3 litre inline four, originally used in the Pinto. Endowing the engine with an advanced, computer controlled fuel injection system and an intercooled turbocharger system helped push power output to 175 horsepower(130 kW), fairly high for the time. With fine tuning and the addition of a new water-cooling system, power output rose to 200 horsepower for 1986 (205 horsepower for 439 85.5 SVOs)
There are more than a handful of SVO and SVO inspired 2.3L Turbo powered vehicles in the 400 Horsepower range, and a few even beyond that. A 9 Second 1/4 miles, though a product of significant modification, is not out of reach for these amazing machines.
What do you mean? It's completely stock aside from the wheels, which look much better in person. They are a sweet sweet gold. linkorz

Not much on these limited edition cars but here's what I found.

Thank you, and they are very rare, only 10,000 ever built in the three years they were made.
