I bought a 97 Mustang GT in 1999, and I still have the car to this day, and it runs great. Even though I have two other cars, I'll drive it until the wheels fall off.

[@someparts]

"I'm not a Mustang guy" 26 minutes of Mustang Guy later.....

[@UsefulEntertainment]

@@someparts lol yea it's weird. Like if the car got totaled, I'd be looking for something else. I only really like this one.

[@TheSamplebridge]

We all know how the holes in your knees actually got started😂

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Owning a mustang will do that to a guy. I would've mentioned that in the video but I didn't think it would've been KZbin friendly...

[@amircoleman7043]

i love my crap box its my first stick and rusty project but you sir have shown me through your vids that I can make any rusty into something cool ur dope dude love what your doing

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Dude, a man's love for his shitbox cannot be explained, it just feels right 👍 Thank you, it makes me feel good when I can show people it's not impossible to get these cars on the road 🤘🤘🤘

[@thestyle1971]

Cool ride there! Reminds me of the kid's beater stang from the movie 30 Minutes or Less!!

Lol yup that's how it's driven too.

Amazing video

[@ddwalker3744]

Ive had a 91, 94 and 95 all 5.0s, i loved those cars, although the new 5.0s come stock w almost 500 horsepower

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

Useful Entertainment “if you don’t drive it like Sloth from the Goonies, it’ll be alright” We can tell, no matter how much condescending language you use… You love your SN95..

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Lol, yes, yes I do. Hope you enjoyed the show 🤘

[@ericvonhellens8822]

Thanks for the video. Like the louvers on the back. Love my 98. What year is that Fiero, 88?

[@UsefulEntertainment]

thanks man, i feel naked the few times i drove with them off the car. that fiero is an 86, it was my buddies but he sold it. car has a 3.8 with a supercharger lol

[@anthonyjones8426]

Just bout a 98 gt body straight the interior as well paid $500 2 days ago only needed a motor which i have ready to put it in this weekend

[@UsefulEntertainment]

thats how its done.

[@wrenchinwithgrandpa4586]

It’s reminiscent for me as the 85 Celica GT, not great top end, but quick acceleration and with stick, lots of fun In drive

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Lol, this thing is actually kind of a snail until around 2800, 3000 RPMs. It's an overhead cam job. They made Supras out of those 85 Celicas.

[@Forgotten_performance]

I wouldn't say 152mph in 1997/1998 is not great top end

[@rosecarey8522]

I have a white(original paint)1995GT Mustang, after 41thousands miles ,331 stroker w as dropped,,all electronic systems have been upgraded,,its a show car,never been through a car wash, hand wash only

[@djerniet350]

I about to put my 94gt back on the road. I saw another mustang at you place in that video. I will never get rid of mine.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

cool man, the other one is a 95 GT

[@wayneburbrink1215]

Just picked up a 94 with 111,085 miles was garaged , ford mechanics vehicle only mod is the cold air intake a real one lol , teal blue kinda bought it for my son cause he bought my old 94 #3255 ford lightning red fully optioned , i do see billet shifter and billet nobs threw out

[@NewEdgeDesigns]

I love the teal SN95s, I have i Bright blue 94 vert, unfortunately v6 for sale, it’s listed on my C h a n n e l

[@Dude_Ness]

i feel the same way about the throttle cable, i hate the electric ones, i got one on my daily car and its so unresponsive even for a v6, i even test drove a turbo i4 mazda and still unresponsive. but when i drive my 01 ranger with a v6 and throttle cable, you truly become an extension to the car and you feel connected to it and the road and they're also cheaper to fix. think its fair to say you have quicker access to more torque with a cable than you do an electric one. wonder if there's a way to swap my electric TB for a cabled one

[@itzfrostyo]

I’m about to buy an auto 95 GT it has H pipe with no cats can’t wait to finally be faster than a civic

[@UsefulEntertainment]

LoL, depends on what year Civic 🤣🤣🤣

[@281cobracar7]

If it's a auto with 2.73 rear gears the Civic will win. The first mod with a automatic Fox body 5.0 should be 3.73 rear gears.

[@verifiedantonio2295]

great video

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Thanks!

[@wrenchinwithgrandpa4586]

I’m surprised that she’s in relatively good shape for a daily beater! I’m not a Fox fan, make mine a 68-69 Mach

[@UsefulEntertainment]

I'd take me a 67 Shelby, the massive taillights make the car.

[@bradz2451]

I have the arcade game cruisin USA to thank for my love of that body style. I spent so many hours sitting there pumping quarters into that machine

[@UsefulEntertainment]

I completely forgot about that game, I remember that now, think they used a 94-95 because of the horizontal taillights.

[@bradz2451]

I can’t remember that much. I remember it was that terrible blueish green with a huge blower sticking out the top

[@Polydeukes68]

I have a '95 GT. The original 60K miles driven suspension was horrible, totally horrible. After subframe connectors, MM Panhard bar and adjustable rear control arms, Bilsteins, good springs and bunch of other suspension upgrades its now quite close to average European sporty family car. Not even close to a sports car but much better anyways. The GT 5.0 HO engine is weak, you cannot hang with diesel VW or Audis - at all. So, bunch of upgrades needed there - take your pick. Rear end upgrade is a must. The plastic interior is cheesy and "leather" seats are horrible, like sitting on a muffin. So, new seats and some more work on the interior and it becomes ok. Then wheels and proper modern tires. And then, finally it's becomes a nice daily driver.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

i mean its great that you can get these cars to that point but theres no way id sink money into one, not because its a bad car, its just not my style. i think what i was trying to get at, is these are on par with a caviler or a civic as a daily, only with a drive shaft.

[@Polydeukes68]

@@UsefulEntertainment Yeah, not my style either but I inherited it so it has some sentimental value for me so I kept it. Just could not drive it with the stock suspension. My comment was continuation for your honest and realistic -theme and mainly aimed at others who might consider getting one. For a first car or for somebody really inexperienced, sure but if one has driven foreign cars or even modern domestics the stock SN95 GT experience might be less than good. Well, for a cheap car with a V8 its not all that bad if one is willing to upgrade it a bit. I haven't driven Cobras so no idea if they are any better stock other than have more power.. At least yours has a black interior, mine is that baby shit brown. And as a positive I must admit they do sound good, better than stock SBC C3-C4 -Vettes, ignition order is more racy I guess..

[@UsefulEntertainment]

@@Polydeukes68 ahh I get you, yeah I'm used to driving nothing but dinosaurs so the stock suspension isn't that bad for me but yeah, I dated a chick with a 2011 Camaro 10 years ago and I could take corners at 90 I wouldn't do 60 in with the mustang lol. Also last year I had a 2024 rental Camaro with a 6 cylinder, car was quick for what it was but it handled even better than the 5th gen. Also rented a 2024 Maxima right after and it handled almost as good as the Camaro did and. I feel you with the sentimental thing for sure, I'm glad you got it where you want it. I am glad I got the black interior, apparently they aren't too common.

[@kingerikthegreatest.ofall.7860]

Other than the stick, pretty much same setup as my 97 cougar. Interior looks very similar. My doesn’t burn oil.

[@shadygingergarage]

I HATE that shifter bowl on those cars. It's probably the number one reason I've never owned one. As for exterior styling, I MUCH prefer the new edge cars. They at least look aggressive.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Don't know why KZbin hides comments...

[@anthonyjones8426]

Same foxbody platform and the inside looks exactly the same

[@shadygingergarage]

@@anthonyjones8426 oh I definitely hate the interior on the Edge cars too. But at least the exterior looks more aggressive.

An actual throttle cable. Fuck ya.

[@UsefulEntertainment]

Makes or breaks a cars drivability

[@bababooey7576]

@UsefulEntertainment Yeah, for sure. I commented before watching the rest of the video. While I'm not a massive car guy, I hate shit that isn't practical...wipers In your line of sight, stupid. Real headlight, dome light switch, the way it should be, gauges, etc. Stupid shit like the keys on your legs, it's mind boggling how these guys design cars and that's overlooked... my old 87 caprice classic wasn't perfect, but fuck, it was reliable. Hidden wipers, Real cast iron power steering--never Gave me an issue in the 16 years I had the car. Odd ball car and it had the Olds 307. Ran like a top. HEI ignition...christ, I'd try and flood the thing and get it not to start...always started. Coldest day (Canada) , no problem. The transmission was supposed to be shitty and was known for 2nd and reverse blowing (the model of tranny, youd know, it's escaped me), shifted perfect until i got rid. Just serviced it. Real throttle cable...etc. cars today are fucking depressing... the rust bucket clapped out 86 half ton gmc custom deluxe I had with a 350, even more simple. Don't make shit like they used to. Loved your appearance on neutral drop... Love your videos, you call it like it is...

[@UsefulEntertainment]

@@bababooey7576 dude, tell me about it, I would love to have the job where I finalize interiors on cars... Fix this, fix that, this is wrong etc. Yeah those Caprices were good cars for sure and the olds 307s were kill proof!!! The tranny in that car was the 200-4R, same as our wagon was and yes, it lost reverse lol. Man, I'm glad you cought that episode of us and neutral drop 🤘🤘🤘 Shlt was fun AF.

[@bababooey7576]

@UsefulEntertainment Fuck ya. And I didn't mean the Olds was oddball, I just thought it was odd they jammed it in the caprice for 87,but aside from the intake manifold gasket ,which my mechanic did a stellar job on and added some silicone around the corners, the engine wasn't the fastest but fuck it was reliable. You really couldn't kill them. I remember your videos years ago about the Olds 307 engines you were working on. Leanred a ton. The town i work for used a caprice with the Olds, for the demo derby car. Indestructible. My old mechanic had monkeyed with the timing and adjusted when it shifted (or something, lol I can't remember) , to get a bit more zip out of it. Towards the end, I put oem premium wires, oem platinum whatever they were gm plugs distributor, rotor , fuel filter etc, to see what a difference it'd make on the old girl. Christ. What a difference putting decent oem ignition parts In. Yes, the 200 r4. Did second and reverse not share the same band or something? The guy I got the car off of worked at the parts counter at a GM stealership and had done a fuckload to it in the year 2000 before I bought it. Old guy traded it in. Low ish mileage and the back seats looked like no one had ever sat back there. Decent body and I had it drowned in oil spray before winter every year. Dude had serviced the transmission and I just kept up on the maintenance of it and had it serviced almost yearly towards the end. I dont think it ever fucked up once. When I got rid, sadly, in 2016, there was one dash light over the speedo out, the rest worked . Not bad for 30 years. Front and rear bumpers were perfect. No exterior rust, dents etc. Yeah, you and your dad I'm assuming it is, seem to know cars and what makes sense. I bet the interiors would make a lot of sense if you had the final say. Those neutral drop guys are fuckin wild. Thanks for the replies. Rock on dude

[@UsefulEntertainment]

@@bababooey7576 hehehe the reason they started putting olds motors in everything towards the end of the 80s is because they were the only motor that could still pass emissions with a carburetor in that era. Just curious, what was the reason for getting rid of the car???
