Congrats Luis! It looks like it's in great shape! Same year as my Tacoma, but I have 115k.

Where's the engine bay shot?

Poll: Should we still let Luis hang out with us? Or is he now labeled a SN95 guy?

Nope. The SN95's sound better than any S197 ever will. Sadly it's just the way it is.

Luis, add "GT side scoops" to your mod list. Those week V6 half scoops aren't cutting it.

I saw that! A little more than I am wanting to spend right now... Still a great deal though!

Congrats Luis! That didn't take long to get back into another Mustang! LOL!

I had a silver '01 V6... Nothing wrong with that!

It's a GT not a V6. If it was a V6 we'd disown him.

The only SN95 that sounds like it's got a pair are the Terminators. Period.

What's the facination with fake scoops?

Luis, I would remove all of them.

You don't know WTF your talking about! Get any SN95 GT with a modified exhuast next to an S197 with a modified exhaust and you'll see what I'm talking about. I don't know if it's because it's a 2v or because of the muffler location being in the middle of the car but the sound is just amazing.

Fake scoops on an S197 look gay but, scoops on an SN95 work because of the design of the car. The SN95 looks weak without the hood and side scoops. JMO.

To further prove my point.

Here's two GT's. One with scoops and one without.

Are you talking about the hood scoop?

Thanks It was **** hard finding one under 100,000

I'll get some engine bay shots later today Next week I'm going to go shoot with my friend and get some 'before' shots done

Yours is loud and has drone; don't confuse the rumble with the drone I love the way your car sounds Bill (IMO that's the best sound for an S197) BUT it doesn't have the rumble of an SN95. I think its more the muffler location than anything else. Yes, the 4V is the sex but I think 2V's come in second. I hate to admit it Okay, its a lot easier now that I have a 2V

If I go with the hood scoop, updated side scoops will be a must!

I have outdoor plumbing; GT or my man card gets pulled You're allowed to make the mistake once but never again!

S197's have such clean body lines that fake scoops do not work but it works for the SN95's. Personally, the hood scoop is going to be the equivalent of the bullitt grille for me; I will take forever and a day to decide on getting it

Seeing this makes me go back to the scoop decision
