I had this car on my wall from age 16 up until the day I bought it at 22 Im now 33 and I still own mine till this day!! 75k on it and It looks beautiful! I’ve thought of selling this car many times these past couple years but the amount of memories and fun this car has given me is enough to keep it forever!🙏🏽 Big plans for mine this year and the years to come, 05-09 was a great gen with a classic look and feel!
As someone who dailies one, I can say this car is 100% still worth it, perfect car to learn manual in, the low end torque will aid you in setting off, especially nice for hill starts, and it only has 300HP stock, plenty to have fun with but not enough to hurt yourself if you have even the slightest idea of how to drive and you're not on dry rotted tires
Common issues with these when they get to higher mileage from a 3v owner, are the cooling fan going out and burning out the pin in the fuse box, third gear synchro wearing out, timing chain tensioners, valve train ticking from the rocker arms, spark plugs are a pain, and some heater hoses that like to go out cause they've got plastic elbows and are hard to get to, under the intake manifold. Really no other major issues. Ive owned from 110-190k miles, bought it as my first car at 18. Regular oil changes and not driving like a dickhead will prevent the big stuff, hurst short throw will help that third gear synchro last long
I've had none of these issues except the heater hose coolant leak underneath the manifold but nothing but alternator & battery issues that's for sure, oil changes every 3-5k miles comes along way maybe that's why I haven't had any motor issues so far now with 180k daily driven & fair n share of dogging the shit out of it you name it
I just picked up a roush 427r, an 08 model. With a couple bolt ons and a tune, VMP performance kit, custom BBK longtube / exhaust system... shes making 550hp at the crank on the m90 supercharger. Its pretty much maxxed out but one helluva ride.
Never paid these no attention. But as these new cars come out no manual trans, all these old **early 2000s to 2014, i like all . I have had my z for 9 years. 85 k on clock. Its a 2005. Keep the old cars going👍🏿 . Car sounds good👍🏿
If the lack of manual transmission annoys you, you should read the owners manual. Literally says it’s going to monitor your phones-calls, texts apps etc. Locks you out of certain speeds and driving habits etc. Any car after 2014 is a hard pass for me.
I own a 09 Mustang Gt 3V. I have zero complaints. Little harder to get the power vs Coyote but it’s doable. I am running a Paxton on mine and it’s quick enough for me.
Bro I just bought mine last September and I’m doing an engine swap of the same engine just 100k less miles and I’m hyped to cam it and make it look more retro than modern it’s gonna look sick
I say yea they are worth it. I bought my 09 back in 2019 for $6300 with 103k it now has 173k miles on it now and that’s with 100’s of lbs of nitrous pumped through it 😂. Car was bone stock besides exhaust and lowering springs when I bought it. I essentially did every bolt on possible, ford racing intake manifold, jlt cold air intake, gt500 twin 60mm tb, 1-3/4” longtubes, Howard rattler cams, pulleys, 4.10’s and a zex nitrous kit. Tuned by Lito. I have a 2019 gt 10 speed now too but I still enjoy the 3v and never plan to get rid of it
I’ve been looking for a 10-14 mustang even settle for the older models, for a month now but they all either have sketchy milage for me or too far a distance to travel
Keep looking there are nice ones out there! It took me x2 years to find mine ,4200 original mile 2010 Roush it was a little more than i wanted to spend but its like new !I love the car!
I'm looking to buy a 07-09 stage 3 here soon. I've been doing my homework and the stage 3 Roush is a better deal then a Shelby GT500. The Shelby has a bit more hp but the Roush makes up for it in handling.
I love mine. This is the closest you will get to the original Mustang that you can get as far as body and drive. This is the BEST Mustang ever. BTW, I love all Muscle Cars so the Camaro, Charger and Challenger are all amazing.
Do not straight pipe cars need back pressure get a good set of slip ons and you will tell the difference in the way it runs with a little back pressure 😊
why did you add the v6 pony grille? and where did you get it from? i heard it was smaller so i’m wondering if they make specific grilles for the get bumper
The rt is the best budget v8 I’ve beaten a fbo tuned gt with my bone stock rt and they are more reliable u can get a rt to run 12s with just fbos and a tune
They are not 💀From 07-14 RT hemis were dogshit slow especially that 5 speed the 6 speed manual however is pretty good, but it doesn't help that they're heavy as shit & the best bang for the buck the 3v holds that title, around $8k that can beat a RT hemi stock all it take is catless 3v with a good driver mod they're just lighter whereas a RT price range your looking at around $12-15k at that price range I'd rather get a gen 1 5.0
@DamanSinghh true buts that's why the 2011 to 2014 would be the over all better option. Even tho it's 200 pounds heavier then the 2005-2010 that AWD makes up for it if modded correctly. Not to mention if you can save enough to swap for a hellephant it's would be a absolute monster. But to play devils advocate to myself I do understand that the mustang of 2005-2011 has a very light v8 and a very good after market to modify it into flying beast on straight races.
@@ronnieruud9703yessir but to my understanding a 11-14 R/T goes for 12-14k and in that price range you can get a 11-12 coyote 5.0 which will blow all 3 cars away 😂
@Singhzgarage you got me there. Even tho the 2005-2010 rts can have AWD those are even more rare and far in between so if you can find one I'll say thay would be a good option. But considering that the 2005-2010 mustang is severely more common which should be more reachable for the average person

I bought my 2008 GT brand new, and it’s great to see young guys are still interested in them.

captions at the beginning made me lol. sub worthy
Thanks man 😂
YEAH ITS WORTH IT BRO! One of the BEST looking cars on the planet on top of the reliability!!!💯
also i got my 07 s197 like 3 months ago and you are spot on with the torque. i came from a 200hp 04 colorado. when i give the stang the beans she goes

Mines a Tune Roush Performance Catback with an Hpipe. Everyone loves the low tone. 3V!!!!
Convinced me to get a 3 valve mustang, and damn that sound is awesome

Yessir bro everyone’s always talking about how these are underpowered but for 7-10k, this car is overpowered if anything for its price range!
Keeping my 13 Boss. Timeless looks I believe.
Just got mine an 08 Bullitt w 70k on the clock, excited for what’s to come.

Everything depends on the price and what you want to do with it.. They are still very nice looking..

bad ass deal bro i got an auto 3v in 19 for 7 csnt imagine even finding a deal that good now

how are the electrical systems? Ive heard they get flooded a lot from clogged water vents is that true?
Yes the engines are reliable but the rest idk man I’m struggling with mine 😭
what wheels are those? beautiful car man!
why did you add the v6 pony grille? and where did you get it from? i heard it was smaller so i’m wondering if they make specific grilles for the get bumper
same grill size differnt clip loctions u should be able to find it on american muscle if you want a v6 grill on your GT
The rt is the best budget v8 I’ve beaten a fbo tuned gt with my bone stock rt and they are more reliable u can get a rt to run 12s with just fbos and a tune

The 2012 Boss 302 would have looked better in this body style.
👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
If I wanted a muscle car that makes 300 HP I'd get a V6.
A v6 "muscle car" is not a muscle car at the end of day 💀 your still going have that shit sounding v6
❤❤❤
“Other people call it s197” no that’s literally what they’re called
I would argue that a all-wheel drive RT could be better
I actually had a RWD 06 charger R/t and it’s a fun car but it’s too heavy compared to the horsepower. So it’s hard to move it around and handle it
@DamanSinghh true buts that's why the 2011 to 2014 would be the over all better option. Even tho it's 200 pounds heavier then the 2005-2010 that AWD makes up for it if modded correctly.
