$11,500 to spend and looking to make my stang a 500hp daily driver, what should i do?

  • Sponsors (?)


Aside from answering how to get 500hp, do you really want this to be your DD? I have a 300rwhp daily driver and I can not wait till November when I'll be able to buy and Explorer as my DD. It's not that my car is unreliable...it's SCT tuned and starts without a problem every morning and has never left me stranded. But there's always that "what if" it doesn't start tomorrow, how am I getting to work. Also every morning I start my car to drive it five minutes to then park it and shut it off. It's not even fully warmed up by the time I get to work. What I'm getting at is daily driving is hard on any car not to mention something with, in your case potentially 500hp. I know there's a bunch of us using the stang as a DD, and some don't have a problem, but it's just something to think about.

That's why I finally got the Escort....26mpg, ICE cold air, and fairly new looking for a 96 with 36k miles.

Also, It sucks to never be able to have your car down for a few days to work on it.

Well, be glad it's an american car and not an inport.
 
You just reminded me I still have a Kenne Belle Blowzilla sitting at my house that needs a good home. I was making 450 to the wheels with it on pump gas and 8#'s of boost.
