Stock gears are 2.73s

If you're daily driving it, I'd go 3.73s with the 4.6 and 3.55s with the 5.0. For a weekend-warrior I'd bump those up to 4.10s and 3.73s respectively.

That's high, not low, and they're so high for fuel economy reasons. With the stock 2.73s and skinny tires, I could get mid-high 20s for mileage in my 5.0 on the highway cruising at ~75mph.

Hell, to do 60mph I was only turning 1500 rpm, and there's plenty of torque there for that speed.

i would get a 94/95 5.0 over a 96-04 GT if your looking for power.

5.0 is much cheaper to make fast

Yeah it would have to be a 94/95 gt for the 5.0 no offense to u dexter its just I don't like the pre 94 mustangs...great engine just not a fan of the body...but ill still gladly buy a 99-04 gt over my current v6 don't get me wrong I love my 6 but I want a gt...its time to graduate up to a gt possible a na cobra

Why would I take offense? Have you seen my car? Hahaha.

I'd rather have either a 5.0 or 4v SN95, I just have a lot of money tied up in my car and it's in crappy enough condition aesthetically that no one in their right mind would buy it.
