Knowing what I know now...

[LarsD]

I thought this might be an interesting thread. What would you do differently with your current setup now that you have that perfect 20/20 hindsight?

I wish I had done a 427 Dart block with some majorly hogged out heads, or an 03/04 Cobra swap in my LX.

 

[rdharper02]

I would have shaken the "magic eight ball", not bought a turbo and known that ford would produce the new 5.0 motor. Not quite the power, but some crazy numbers for the amount of fuel it sips. Then again, I would have ended up with a super charger or turbo on the swap.

 

[Noobz347]

I might have stuck with the original color. I would say that I might have gone turbo instead of twin screw but the turbos that I WANT weren't available back then.

 

[Ozz]

I would've bought a shell and gone from there.

 

[wythors]

I would have left my trunk lid wingless and stuck with my stock hood.

 

[Noobz347]

I would have grown a mullet and bought a camaro.

With the current setup? Nothing. But I'm not done yet, so I'll get back to you...so far so good.

I did that in the early 80's. a mullet and an '82 Z28. Now it's a decent haircut and an '87 Mustang.

 

[hoopty5.0]

LOL ohhhh man.

I'd have bought someone else's half-done project with all the esspensive sheet already bought.

Although I do like @Noobz347's idea about the mullet and the Camaro.

 

[jdb3rd]

I would have built a new stroker when I swapped everything from the 87 to 88. 351 based 408 or 427 with a mild cam and low boost. That and I wouldnt have sold my 85gt

Knowing what I do now? What would I change?
I would've worn safety glasses the day that the grinder exploded.


That's all I got.

I have had a mullet, and a Camaro, but not at the same time...

Knowing what I know now, I would have turned Mike (and his fab skills) onto a Pantera way back when.

Now you fail.

[srtthis]

not really sure...

i would have liked to have a 400"+ project car that some one didnt have the money or time to finish but not really sure if it would feel like it was "MINE" at that point. my car currently other then the paint and the 4 to 8 conversion was done by me.

 

[CarMichael Angelo]

A Pantera is one of those that I would've left alone. Gimme a Fiero. I'd cut that bitc h up inaminute, and slap a Countach kit on it.

 

[slow90coupe]

I would've bought an 03 Cobra instead of spending all of my money on a 90 and a 97 model Mustang.

Not molest... RESTORE!

Man, when I was in high school a friend of mine was given a brand new Fiero for graduation. Driving a fastback Mustang I snickered at him, until I drove it. That lil' sonofagun handled fantastically! (keep in mind my benchmark was a '70 mustang with front drums) I've often wondered what a badass little car could've been built with one of those, some serious brakes, and a pair of 68mm turbos.
