Considering an 04 SVT, BUT...

[HONDABOND]

I have been thinking about financing an SVT when I get out of millitary training in about 6 months (Asuming I dont go to fight in iraq >Infantryman<) and I was wondering, were are all the performance parts for these cars?
Are they that much different from the 2 valve models that none of the parts are interchangable?

Also, in reality I am a car lover of all sorts and dont particularly like one manufacturer more than another, I am looking at the SVT because $35K is "Within Grasps" althoe it is still quite pricey.
Is there a better deal as far as performance for money goes?
Opinions?

~actually if you want to buy an SVT... going to IRAQ/AFGHAN would be a great experience for you. not only will it lower your interest rate to 6% in which the difference is forgiven, ie never paid, let you lower your full coverage to comprehensive while it sits and allow you to pay on a car without having to worry about running miles up and such... i dont know... going would be good for you. get to save money and pay LESS than you normally would for a high performance car? not to mention build your credit...

~i'll admit my lack of knowledge for modding an SVT but i've heard that its rather easy to get them to go into the 11-12 second range. some of the SVT guys will be able to tell you more.

~what branch?

Change the pulleys and adjust the cams. Dont need to buy alot to make them faster then they are when you first get them. Just gotta know what your doing.

I know a good bit about cars (motors and there workings) I think I may just bite the bullet and go for it... Thanks fellas.

"not only will it lower your interest rate to 6% in which the difference is forgiven, ie never paid"

Thats verry interesting, I wonder if that qualifies.

[HONDABOND]

Just out of curiosity... Is there any reason I should pay $35,000+Interest for an 04 SVT When I can get the same 390 Ponies out of an NEW 03 SVT for only $25,000?
Is it just the new car trend thing? Or is there realy some kind of bennifit of having the brand new 04?

~thats only if you finance the car and then go overseas or active duty from ng/ar. i dont remember the law but it lowers all interest bearing debts to 6%. whether that is a house , car, credit card, whatever. if you want to know more then just let me know.

Do you have some kind of link for me to look at?
Also are you in the millitary?

You need to shop around my friend, I got that flat out quote here in the silicon valley (San Francisco bay area) this is the most taxed place to live in the country.
I believe I got the quote from MAX something or other.
I can look for it again if you are interested in buying one.

As far as the other guy "Enjoy it if you get it" I am sure I will if I come back from werever the f*** alive... Also, a note that all service terms over seas are one year minimum (I believe) So if I buy the car its getting stored for a year in a storage facility while I pay it off... But it will give me something to fight to come home for, I still have to get through OSUT 14 Weeks before I can put a down payment on it.

96-04 Mustang GTs = 16v SOHC
96-99/01 Cobras = 32v DOHC
03-04 Cobra = 32v Supercharged DOHC
