How many Mustang owners?

Just curious as to how many of you Lightning owners, also own a Mustang. I just picked up a 92 LX convertible 5.0 for my daughter and need to get hooked up with some of the Mustang websites as there are a few things it needs to be where I want it.
Any suggestions?
Marc

Hey bro, ive been building stangs since 1988. I worked for Saleen way way back when. At any rate, its almost been officially one year since ive been mustang free.

However, check out...

www.corral.net

modularfords.com

mustangmadness.com

stangnet.com

mustangworld.com

From there, you should get a good start.

Better tech info on Corral and Modular Fords.

I've got a 91 LX 5.0 that just turned over 32k original miles and it's for sale! Posted on autotrader, stangnet.com and corral.net. Username is 91LXER there.

As for websites, stangnet.com and corral.net are prob. the best out there.

Mustangs are where I started. I had a '91 LX 5.0 in high school (I totaled it), drove my parents '92 GT for a while, purchased a '93 LX 5.0 that had a wasted rear end, and then sold that for my 93 Cobra. I grew up with Mustangs, and they are so much fun to play with. There are quite a few cheap and easy tricks for them to run well. TPS voltage, timing, computer, headers, exhaust, gears, etc. It can be a very fast car for cheap... especially if you have friends with parts cars / engines like I do.

I used to have a side business building combinations for 87-93 Mustangs, Still have a '90, although it is stock right down to the air silencer.

I have a 95 GT that started my obsession with speed. Right now though it is parked because of a cooling and surging problem that I can't track down . The best website in my opinion is www.corral.net.

I have a 94 built by DaSilva Racing (Joe DaSilva). It is naturally aspirated and runs high 11's (heads, cam etc etc). Love the car, love the truck, plain and simple, just love speed!

I also have a 99 Mustang, it is the 6th Mustang I have owned.

I agree with the others....stangnet and the corral are good website to start with.

I've got a 69 Fastback with a 393ho stroker out of a 94 Lightning.

Best of both worlds!

Flying **** do you know Brian and Barry from BBK? They got their start working at saleen back in the late 80's. Both are friends of mine, we used to Drag race alot in the 80's. As far as mustangs go, Ive got a 65 GT coupe project(almost done)with a 347 EFI stroker small block, with Roush/world heads and Tremec 5 sp about ready to go in it. I also have a real solid and correct Calypso Coral 70 Boss 302, that will be the next project. But before that gets started, I need another garage as Im out of space and the wife wants to know when she can put her car in the garage.

My daily driver... Love it too..Nothing beats the exhaust note of a stang in my opinion....

89 coupe, 5spd manual, GT40 aluminum heads, cobra intake, Mac Hpipe, Mac equals headers, underdrive pulleys, K&N, 3.73 gears, steeda triax shifter..

Took it to the track once and on my first run I had a great reaction time, crappy 60 ft, bald tires spun bad 1st to 2nd..My 1/4 mile was a 14.3 @ 99 mph... my car weighed in at 3090lbs and has right at 200K original miles on it..It think I should have ran high 13s in my opinion with a better launch and w/out the misshifts I made during the next 3 passes..Thats what my buddies were telling me but i'm a crappy driver with manuals anyway..

Sometimes I enjoy driving it more than my L eventhough it doesn't look as nice
