Performance is good probably between 280-300 horsepower right now, that number will continue to increase. Exterior appearance is amazing I have a custom paint job, the color is mystic teal it changes from green to blue depending on how you look at it. I also have weld racing rims with drag radial tires, skinnier in the front wider in the back. Gas mileage is killer but thats to be expected in a car like this. Definitely a fun car to drive.

While the 93 Mustang has been around for a while. It is still a great car to own. While on paper the 93 are down on HP and torque, this is very deceiving, as the change is on the way Ford achieved it's #'s not by changes to the 93's engine. In actuality the 92-93's engine is the same(& very similar to the 91)with 225hp and 300 lbs/tq. This is proven in the similar performance figures of all 89-93 Mustangs. Ford credits the missing HP most on the testing change and minor variations year-year. Personally I think it was a marqueting ploy to explain the 235 hp of the 93 Cobra and the 215 hp of the new 94 Mustang's 5.0 -the same of the previous year 195 hp Thunderbird. During the many times drag racing events a stock 94 Mustang never beat my stock 93 Mustang. I have my 93 Mustang since 96. I drove it for 2 winters in the snow. It is not the best winter car-with snow my top-speed was 40mph, but I never got stuck. As soon as I could afford I retired the car to pleasure use. This is what they were made for. :) As a summer car it was just perfect. It has a/c, flip-up & removable sun roof, the upgraded stereo w/6 speakers, the auto w/ overdrive. Over the years I have added a 3.73:1 rear end gears that greatly enhance accelaration, mac cold air intake, headers and flowtech-warlock exhaust. Those minor mods allowed the car just enough breading, performance and great sound to make driving it that much of an muscle car experience. I left the outside alone as I love the way the 5.0 LX looks. It's what a true muscle car should look like not just about fancy add-ons. It has big wheels/tires, shiny stainless steel dual exhaust tips and a sporty look. After all these years it's still a great car. I never had any problems with it! I find it rides a bit hard but the suspension works relatively well for a 90's era car. The performance is equally adequate. Some how it does fell faster than what the hp and 1/4 mile times (14.5 @ 92 mph)suggest.
