Well, I actually have an auto-trajic, but virtually every car I've owned was a Mustang.

I've had a 85' GT, 86' SVO, and a 92' GT. My fav' was the 86' Mustang SVO. It was absolutely mint! It was baby'ed like no other. I bought it from a older gentleman that collected em' and had 5 in a warehouse in Tomball Tx. Had a little over 11k miles, and was 7 yrs old at the time. Over the 8 yrs that I had it, I put another 120k miles on it and sold it (individual) for $300.00 less than what I originally paid for it 8 yrs ago! Not bad. Used that for down payment on 2k2 Sterling Mist SE (auto). My first auto. Haven't looked back yet!

Although, I am starting to have withdrawals every time I read about a 6-spd... 'ME'

I had a 95 GT with Borla, Superchip and suspension mods. Got a 2K Max GXE loved it but missed the 5 speed. Now have a 2k2 SE 6 speed, I swear it is faster stock than my Mustang was modified!! But the stang's handling was far superior (although I have not begun mods on my max

I had a 91 LX 5.0 that I bought new. It was modded heavily and then was stolen in 96. Too bad. At least the insurance company covered all the mods for full value (~$8K worth). Yes, this car hauled ***. It would hit 100 MPH ~11 seconds.

Count me among the ones who have switched!
My previous car was a '99 Mustang Cobra coupe.
Traded it in about a month ago for a '03 SE 6-speed Black/Black. I now have about 1700 miles on the new car and am quite happy with it!

You must have read my mind...I was going to post the same thing.

I had two stangs before this max..and was looking on getting my 3rd (02 GT mineral grey)

I think the max is perfect for us stang guys who grew up a little and also need the extra room. The stang is fun, but not nearly as practical as the max. It's the perfect choice...with close to the same power/feel, but more room! Ever sit in the backseat of a stang for any amount of time? Hope you're not behind the driver...ugh.

Someday I'll have my stang in the garage again, but it will be a 3rd car.

ahhhh the 93 Cobra...what a car...about 275 true HP as opposed to the 235 Ford Claimed...What I would give to have one with less than 10K on it next to the two MAX SE's...Nice car and nice times too.
