Have you driven any of these vehicles yet? I think with a few test-drives you'll know what you like to drive more. Trust me on that!

As for the 3.5, it'* been a great engine for me so far. I have 62,000 miles on mine and no problems yet over the past 30,000 that I've owned it. As for speed, the 3.5 Aurora isn't that much slower than our SSEi except it'* slower off the line and mid-range. On the highway the 3.5 is actually peppier than the SSEi, especially in passing situations.

Good stuff.

Very cool stuff, this thread is turning out nicely, I appreciate all the input guys!
Well you ask the question on a bonneville forum, of course a S2 ssei is going to be #1 or tied for it! lol

Anyway....88-92 Ford Mustang 5.0 (duh?)

Don't forget the fox was made in '93 too . 89-95 were all MAF, the 94-95 are the SN95 body style, a lot more modern but heavier than the foxes.

BTW...if you go for a 5.0 get an 89+ cause they are MAF, 87-88 have speed density which don't like mods at all.
