[QUOTE="Ronin, post: 702414, member: 12714"] Yesterday I checked out my first Mustang...a 96 GT with a Procharger. It has about 92,000 miles on it, and the thing was absolutely beautiful considering it's a 14 year old car. Engine bay was mostly immaculate. There were a few things that concerned me...the intake made kind of an oscillating, whistling sound, which he told me was due to needing a new filter...this made sense, since the filter looked like it had seen better days. The CEL was on, which he told me happened a couple of days ago and is just the O2 sensors (which look to be about $50 a piece). I believe him, but my last car (MR2 Spyder) had a CEL related to the evap system that didn't go away after about 6 different parts had been replaced, so I'm understandably hesitant. Lastly, the clutch was stiffer than...well, it was really damn stiff, which is great and all, but would probably get really old really fast when commuting in stop and go traffic. Other than that, it was great. Showed me a dyno chart of it making about 330 RWHP. I'd say that felt about right in the seat of my pants. He said he didn't need to sell it, but it's still strange that he wouldn't pay the little money (what, $200 for 2 O2s and a filter) to make it run golden. I'm going to keep looking, but the bar has been set. [b]Edit[/b]: Just so we're clear, I do know roughly what the SC SHOULD be sounding like, and that's not what this was...just sounded...off. Not to mention, he's the one that mentioned it before I even started it. [/QUOTE]
