The '73 is a good year IMO...

many don't like the fact that the front bumper is plastic and the rear has the bumperettes.

I think it's a good look. and, it's the perfect candidate for side pipes because the rear valance is void of the exhaust cut outs.

For about 5 years, my dad had all three.

Recently added a '02 GT Coupe to the fleet as a nice weather DD. Wifey's only complaint is that it's a manual, and she won't drive it.

That's a shame. If I never have another automatic, that would be fine with me. I hate driving those.

Particularly on a sports car.

Oddly enough, my wife has been looking for a low mileage Exploder Sport, but has to have a manual transmission, which is, apparently rarer than hen's teeth in a 4x4.

GF owned an Auto 2009 Mustang GT. (replaced with a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited)

My feeling was that the steering was sluggish and the car felt heavy and slow... My civic felt much more nimble and quicker, even tho the Mustang is supposed to be faster. *shrugs*

were now looking at getting a yellow 2002 Trans Am Ws6 like she used to own, however i am a bit as id rather own a Vette again if we get a GM product.

Love the White and stripe delete. Very stealthy.

You happy with it? What are your likes/dislikes?

As i mentioned i may consider one used when my kids are a little bigger and can hop into and out of their car seats on their own, but for now i have the G8 due to the 4 doors.

Thanks! I'm soooo happy it's sick. Really, there's nothing I don't like. People say the shifter is notchy but I think it's smooth. The seats, with the suede just great to me. First car that I won't change the wheels on also. I've mellowed out with age but this car scoots!

Had an 81 4cyl automatic, an 82 5.0 GT 4-spd, an 87 5.0 LX 5-spd, and a 95 V6 5-spd.
(plus 7 or 8 other Fox chassis cars)
Only have pics of the 82 and 95.
