Hey guys, my name is Chris. I just acquired my FIRST mustang last yesterday. It is a '97 GT 5 speed, has a cold air intake, 3" catless true duals, 17"/18" chrome Mach 1 replica rims, and has been lowered. It is black and is overall is good shape. I am very happy with it so far, and i am surprised with how good it pulls. The last couple cars i have had were a bolt on ls1 and then a semi-fully built lt1, so this car delivers a lot more than i expected. Are there any good or bad things to know about these cars?? I'm really new to mustangs, so i'm open to any input. I am also wanting suggestions for next mods, i'm thinking short throw and throttle body? Thanks in advance guys!!

Sweet man. i bet it sounds good! If I were you I would give it a full tune-up which is changing spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter, oil change. Another thing, since you dont know as much about mustangs, you should buy a haynes or chilton book for repairs. Mustangs can be easily repaired compared to many other vehicles. For your next mods, Go for the short throw shifter, I have the steeda tri-ax and its great. Don't get a throttle body since it doesnt do much when your vehicle is naturally aspirated. Go with gears,or lower control arms, maybe even subframe connectors
