1999 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"A few modifications and the GT becomes for the money,a really fun fast car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch bearing at 20,000mls. Replaced under warranty.
Pulley bearing squealing 22,000mls. Replaced under warranty.
General comments?
Very nice car to drive. Good upright position gives good visibility, and makes it easy to get in and out of.
Balky transmission shifter, no problem. Get Pro-5-O shifter, problem solved.
A little slow of the line and getting beat up by Z28;s. Get 4.10's, underdrive pulleys, cold air induction, Timing adjuster, ported and polished upper plenum and a decent cat back system.
Problem getting power to the ground coming out of a corner? Subframe conectors, problem solved.
