Ford Probes?
amazing machine
toss an sr in it and go to race wars
I get told all the time that “I didn’t know they made a convertible ford probe”
Sweet.
i like first gen GTs (running mid-low 14s for $500 is proper), i don’t like any second gens or the V6 first gen.

are you serious?
Damn serious!
i think they suck that my opinion tho
Has anyone ever driven one or is it just hearsay? Anyone with an idea thats driven one? Why was it good/bad, and whyy?
klze and solid mounts= broken transmissions.
i guess its a good car if your gunna use it as a winterbeater. by the way…it is a ford.
yea i wouldnt do anything to it i think u would have a problems with it and it wont be worth it unless its a beater. ( fix or repair daily)
by the way, isn’t this thing FWD! :S
definitely that along with the Ford title, makes me want to stir away…heck I’d still try one out maybe it’d justify itself, lol
used to drive the 2nd gen v6 gt back in gr.11
they were OK back then but then i didn’t know anything about cars
i would never drive one now. trust me even a beat up s13 is better than a probe (but i’m FR biased)
just the name alone is kinda gay… a PROBE for shitsakes
actually 2 gen probes are mazdas, but whatever. 1st gen probe turbos were stink fast,
cause of the ol 2.3t under the hood. those motors are capable of alot boost and can put
down some serious torque #'s.
peace
this is funny. i just checked craiglists to see what they sell probes for which is pretty cheap.
but came across an ad for a probe and subaru. pay attention to the price of the suby.

1st gen probes were mazdas too, and it was a 2.2L, not a 2.3L
one of the most indestructible motors i have ever seen, non interference, forged internals from factory. a friend of mine blew his turbo to bits (running with the wastegate unplugged) and half of the turbo went through the motor, all he had to do was change the plugs because the tips were mashed and the motor ran mint again (with a new turbo of course)
I drove a 2nd gen V6. Would be a decent DD, decent winter beater. Fast than a stock 240. I imagine its an all around decent car, if your into the FWD thing.
1st gen ftw. my friend had one and its alot of fun if u just want a super cheap fast car. But they are junk still imo.
Does it matter what we think? NO! If you like Probes, than you like Probes and really shouldn’t care what the rest of this community thinks. Use you’re own judgement. You’re a big boy capable of doing so…
lol, hes just asking for advice from his peers, let him be. He’s clearly never owned one before how should he know if their good or not?
