    something different, I bought a ttop coupe..pics inside

    I'm glad you're keeping the interior the same, I would defenetly keep EVERYTHING as original as possible. including the motor, I wouldnt hack it up,I would even try to "restore" the original paint if at all possible. It is very rare indeed and I would personally give more for it in its original...

    Question for ALL of you, if you had no money worries what would you build????

    why not do both? Thats what I'm doing :D someone making 44K could potentially afford a 250K mortgage with good credit. Thats assuming they can "confortably" do 50% income into a mortgage which the payment would be about $1800 total including taxes and insurance. As far as investing...

    C6ZO6

    hmmm, so you take the worst time you can find on a GT and the best(with DRs no less and a great driver)... I wonder what the times would be like if it were the other way around... very biased to say the least.

    C6ZO6

    the point i'm making isnt ease, its if you want it you'll find it.... I found one at 45K..... and it was only a quick "autotrader.com" search.

    C6ZO6

    i've seen them go for way below the 60,000+ now adays... its all on how bad you want to look... I can find a dealership that may be charging more than msrp for a Z06 and find a Ford dealer that is selling at or even below msrp. Its plain and simple you wanted the Z06 more than the GT500, nothing...

    C6ZO6

    funny how you guys bring up price yet the GT500 is about half as much the Z06.... The Z06 is no joke in terms of performance, but other than that it falls short on just about everything else.

    Look at these fast civics! Makes me want to sell the stang.

    as others have pointed out they're generally worth 5-10hp on an otherwise stock engine, and also as has been pointed out the stock cam is decent for even heads/intake with some 1:7 rockers. I'm defenetly not a Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords tech editor or anything of that sort, but from what I do...

    Look at these fast civics! Makes me want to sell the stang.

    as far as California emissions go you already have an offroad H pipe on, so you can get around that. i've been driving my car for over two years now with no smog pump and a mac prochamber(no cats) and have had no problems. a cop wont pull you over AND inspect your car unless A its way too loud...

    Look at these fast civics! Makes me want to sell the stang.

    well i'm glad you didnt take that too personal, I can see where you're coming from now. all of those 13 second times you see is due to driving, plain and simple, you can do a turbo and engine swap and run 14s if you cant get it to the ground wether its a big inch v8 or a turbo 4 cyl you'll get...

    Look at these fast civics! Makes me want to sell the stang.

    you speak so much about not being close minded, about opening your eyes, about how cheap it is to modify a civic, about how its not the same to compare nitrous to a turbo because its cheaper, yet you're posting about putting in forged internals in the 4 banger for as cheap as 700 dollars because...

    5.0 vs 4.6

    i'd take a 4V 4.6L over a 5.0... but i'd take the 5.0 over the 2 valve, cheaper to modify and the body is lighter now you can lock the thread :D

    Gas Prices Suck

    Government needs to step in and regulate it.. they did it with rockerfeller in the early 1900s, also not too long ago they stepped in with Microsoft and broke them appart, Exxon/mobil is pretty much running a monopoly now, untill the government steps in it will only get worse... only one proble...

    What are the symptoms of a bad FPR and a bad lifter?

    i have another motor sitting in my garage that has good lifters... I'm thinking i'm gonna use those besides i can take the intake off in about 15 mins so worst case senario i have to do it again. another thing the car used to backfire lightly every now and then on warm/hot days when i'd let...

    What are the symptoms of a bad FPR and a bad lifter?

    I have developed a ticking sound too on my car and i feel a hesitation/loss in power especially in the 4-5K rpms, any way to pinpoint which lifter is bad? or should all be replaced?
