Get rid of it and buy a gt manual
>fucking auto v6 Jesus christ

What do you want to do with it? Personally I'd remove all the stripes and get a different set of wheels.

Drive off a mountain

>>15276134
Or just buy a better model

>>15276126
Lol okay let me rephrase this. My gf bought this car. But I'm saving up to buy a gt manual lol

>>15276183
Nice. How much are you gonna spend?

>>15276251
Not sure. I'm broke as fuck right now. I was looking to get an older model before 2005. I'm pumped cause I never had a stick shift car or a car with a v8 engine. Gonna be a good summer

Nice, I have had a couple 99-04s. I recommend them 100%. They are cheap, reliable, and have cheap aftermarket. Plus they are underrated as hell. They really can dyno about 260whp with intake and exhaust. Thats more like 300 HP, which is really good when you consider that they are 3280 pounds stock.

People hug the nuts of F bodys and LS cars. My family had a Ls1. The motor itself was reliable, everything else on the car was junk even though it was babied like hell. It had exhaust and 6 speed, I could still hang dead even with it in a race. Now that I have 4.10s, I know for sure I'd destroy it in a drag. Oh, and they cost twice as much. But I have to admit that it was a beautiful car.

Welcome to the stang gang, OP

What you should do is...


Drain and replace transmission fluid ( this is very key, especially at 155k miles )
Change power steering fluid
Change out coolant
Change out serpentine belt


All of this can be done easily by yourself too.

for quick cosmetics install a sequential taillight kit and swap out the huge 3 foot antenna for an 8in compact one that doesnt fuck up the profile.

fag

My cuck, 99-04 GTs barely have 225rwhp

By exhaust you mean long tubes as well, right because that's what you'll need to get 260rwhp on those cars lol.

>>15277182
... there's another kind?

>>15276113
Congrats, OP. Only think you should do now is take care of it.

>Changing the transmission fluid at 155k miles when the previous owner probably never change it at all.

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GUY OP, YOU WILL FUCK YOUR TRANSMISSION BIG TIME.

>155,000 miles

How much did you pay? That is a lot of miles for a car that is known to be abused all the time

>>15280532
no you won't. a flush would be bad, but just a drain and fill would be fine.

>>15281775
How does one abuse a v6? I mean you have to wot them to get them to driving speed already
