    My 1992 Mustang GT was my first new car purchase. I bought a black on black 5-speed hatchback with sunroof in December 1992 as a college graduation present for myself and still have it today. 67,000 miles, 31 years later, and mostly stock, it's still a blast to take out and drive on a nice day!

      a coworker gave me a ride in his. early 90s with a 5 speed and the 5 liter. im pretty sure it was stock or almost stock. now Ive owned faster cars, and I'm more into fast bikes now (which is like 10 leagues beyond these, btw), but there was something magical about the torque on those. It wasn't a seat smashing 0-100, but I could feel the pull in every gear and the suspension squatted with each gear change, the whole experience making you feel like you were going faster than you actually were. Some day I want another chance to ride in one, maybe even own one if I can find one.

      I have a 86 5.0 but swapped the 5.0 and 5 speed out for a 351 Windsor and a C4 Automatic with a stall converter and a shift kit. Heads were port matched to a Edelbrock Victor JR intake and I put a 500 lift summit hydraulic racing cam with 290, 300 duration and it should be making close to 400 horsepower with a 600 Holley double pumper and MSD ignition. I have 3:73 rear end gears in a 8.8 rear end with a limited slip.

No, it's not Calipso green...it's deep jewel greeeeeen!!!!). I drove it daily and it was a legend. Everyone wanted to race. Everyone wanted to talk about the car. Everyone wanted a ride. Everyone wanted to drive it. A state trooper even pulled me over one time just because he wanted to check the car out. To this day, I can't go anywhere without people saying they love it.

    My Ocean-Blue 1988 5.0 GT Manual is in the Top 5-7 Cars I've ever owned. Fast. Quick. Dependable. Comfortable. Great Engine Sound. Fun.

    Love you guys, I think you do a great job with all your videos BUT I feel its important to note that the mustang II (74-78) was not based on the Pinto platform.. in fact the Mustang II had nothing in common with the Pinto. The forgotten Mustang II was the right car for its time. Its important to not that the 1974 mustang II was the second highest selling production mustang to date being on second to the original 65 model. Sure the mustang II wasn't fast but it was certainly popular for its time. Keep up the great work guys. All mustangs rock except for the Mustang E that is a SUV; let the mud slinging begin LOL

    2.3 turbo or fr turbos were sold 79-86 84-86 was the Svo with aluminum flywheels, functionally airscoops. And with a Porsche turbo they push 400 buff horses in a light fox body stang. Slides and takes off like a dream.

      400 hp is definitely not stock numbers. Its crazy they didnt continue the 5lug wheels beyond the SVO though
