This car has tons of potential, they had faulty air filters from the factory so with a CAI add on you can get a extra 50 horsepower right off the bat! The torque is legendary! It's the last of the old school Muscle Cars! Gas mileage is surprisingly pretty good, especially if you keep it in the higher gears. Mine has 373 gears, sixth gear is used a lot getting surprisingly good gas mileage. I also added a aluminum driveshaft, I recommend this over a lot of newer Mustangs, the reliability is way better on these years! Handling can be easily improved on with some aftermarket suspension! The 5.4 is nothing like the three valve, the reliability on these four valve supercharged engine is a lot better! Ford hit a home run with these, power, reliability, and just a overall fun time driving! The last thing even though the automatics are faster today, there is nothing like a manual, the bond between man, and machine mastering the clutch, the shift points, and having fun can't be matched with a automatic!

This car costs too much for what I will see in my lifetime. Performance was disappointing on purchase, but it has started to show some potential as it breaks in. I only have 500 miles on it, I do plan to upgrade the performance in the future without sacrificing the ability to restore it to original, should some weak person choose to do so. This car is a blast to drive, buts needs a little more power to back up its image. (It does not like to be power shifted). My first car was a 63 Falcon convertible that I "Cobra-ized", and will be with me until I die. This GT-500 has the potential to be just as addictive as my first of my 14 Fords. After 45 years, I still get a smile on my face with Ford.
