Personally I would save my money and go to college, the payout has a much better return on investment.

Or get a cobra

x2

your car is awesome for a guy your age.

just roll with it, and enjoy the convertible.

i have a fast car, and you can only go SO FAST...so it's more bout bragging rights than actually racing on the street.

just relax & e-race some.

lots of things more importnat than wasting money on a car.

SenorSmoothie · 12-31-2009, 11:34 PM

I wanna go bad. When is it?

Must mustangs around here just have flowmaster mufflers and a cai and that is usually it.

The others you will see at the tracks.

but she will be better than ever soon.....it's a love hate relationship with my GN. Speed is not cheap as most know. Unless you know what you are doing tuning a forced induction V6 for HP, then it is best you stick with a V8 for your power needs.

Ahem....ZR1...

Can't argue with you there, but don't base the lack of love for mustangs on the slowest turd ever produced by Ford.

Well here is my two cent's. There really is two questions you have to ask yourself. One, is this your primary driver? Two, how fast? I learned the hard way when I was younger dumping alot of mod money in your dd is so much fun. But it suck's when you break it and there's no one to take you to work the next morning ,and you have to do a late night repair job. Don't get me wrong though! A little go with a cool Idle may be what your looking for. But' if you get addicted to wrenching and speed,buy a project car.It's just easier.

BTW Slowgreen99 suggestion's a good setup ffor the money imo.

Ok, still not as easy as Nitrous.

91notch · 01-12-2010, 06:19 PM

Sell the v6 and save up to buy a gt or something. It will be faster and a whole lot cheaper in the long run. If you insist on modding the six nitrous is about your best bet for cheap and effective.

Darryl Buckner · 01-12-2010, 06:46 PM

He wanted easy, simple power. The guy I saw convert his to a Sc Tbird set up was a pain. From the wiring harness changes, to the computer, ect. If you want to spend that kind of money, put a 4.6 mod motor or a 302 in it and call it a day. It will make V6 supercharged power on motor only for the most part, and its about the the same money. Or go to a 4.2 V6 out of the F150 truck, its alot beefier, and the transmission will bolt right up. None of the options are as cheap as nitrous, but I personally don't care what he does, mine runs fine with or without nitrous..
