Well My water pump just went out for the second time in 15k miles (just a month or two after the warranty ran out), and the steering rack need's to be replaced, I was quoted just shy of $1000 to repair it all so I gotta get rid of the cavy.
Monday Im going to pick up my new 2001 Mustang gt!
4:11 Gears, Long tube headers with chamber box, aftermarket springs, short throw shifter, SCT tuner, tinted windows, 18in Cobra 5 spoke wheels, Sony head unit, cold air intake,
I'll post better pick's after i pick it up but it goes without saying, it's a huge upgrade!
Also are there any mustang guy's here that can point me to an active forum? I'm on stangnet but it seem's pretty dead.
very nice ride. Just picked up my 02 GT very not too long ago.
The boards I'm on are all canadian, but you can hit them up if you want. www.cmoc.ca is the one that I frequent.
M62, 42's, ZZP 3", ZZP S3 H/E
214whp 190wtq
Wow great buy! That will change you a bit from the cavalier.

modularfords.com is a good one I used to be real active on. What are your mod plans?

Right away I probably wont be doing any mods since it will be my Daily Driver but in the future I might Go with cams, and p&p I will probably stay NA
Just a heads up, check my profile for info on my old car... but getting power NA out of a 2v is an expensive venture.

i guess the GT40's are slow. oh well.
Gotta keep it blue oval man.. build up a cleveland in that bad boy or something
UPDATE:
Picked it up today, the paint is pretty ruff so that will be the first priority, IDK if it's just my car but I'm not sure I like the 4:10's There is basically like no 1st gear. Overall a little disappointed, I thought the 4:10's were supposed to be faster off the line but it feels like all the power start's in 2nd or 3rd. But it's probably just a learning curve, overall still a good buy, and nicer then the cav.
if you ever have questions, let me know... i have turned about every single bolt front to back and upgraded every part bumper to bumper lol

How big of a job is it to go back down to 3:73? I guess what I'm experiencing with the gearing is normal then?

yeah 4:10 will get you off the line quicker. but thats about it.milage and top speed go down hill.
Mileage isn't that huge of a difference, a lot less than you would think.
As for how hard, I highly suggest taking it to a mechanic who knows and is confident in setting gears. If you do it wrong, they will whine forever. It's not worth risking it to do myself, IMO. My car had 4.10's and I loved em. But everyone is different. I recommend going to AmericanMuscle.com when you want to buy parts for your car like gears. They have good prices and are highly supportive of the Mustang community.

and installing gears is not recommended unless you know what you are doing. you can seriously screw things up

It was an opinion.... but..
I mean they arent horrible, expecially the Saleens and GTs, but they def. looked better in the early 2000s. Once again in my personal Opinion.

And they aren't all as ugly as that faded, nasty, stock v6....
