1998 Ford Mustang GT review from North America
"Tons of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
PCV valve is going bad, but hasn't caused too many problems.
Clutch replaced around 70,000 miles.
Needs new tires.
General comments?
This car is tons of fun! The V8 responds quickly and the 5 speed manual transmission is tons of fun to drive!
The car handles very well, and can take turns at high speeds with no problem!
I used to drive a 98 Mustang 6 cylinder auto laser red and I thought that car was hot. However now I drive a 98 GT convertible triple black and this car is just beautiful. with the top down the car looks cool and fun, with the top up and the tinted windows up the car looks bad ass, like its about to eat a ricer!
Although the exhaust isn't as loud as the push rod 5.0s, the modular 4.6 has a nice rumble too, and its even better with a performance exhaust system!
Great for a budding car enthusiast or life long car lover.
It might not have as much power as a Trans Am or a Z28, but the price is lower and you're more likely to find one with a manual transmission.
