im pretty much done im saving up for a mach 1
Prolly after its blown.. I dunno there is always new paint jobs shit like that... Depends on the job situation I guess... Getting out of college soon :)
I'm at the point where I think that I'm done (yeah, right). Then I'm gonna switch to the 04 Cobra engine/transmission and take that as far as it can go. When will the need for HP & TQ end?????
sounds bad ass, i wish i could afford a project like that, btw nice ride man, no matter how much HP you got. :beerchug:Quote:

o i totally understand that, i was just curious how far the people here were gonna go.Quote:

since trading my car isn't an option and i must keep the same engine to keep insurance a 4.2 is in the plans , i have my wheels and my stero taken care of. so my 2004 mission is accomplished
I met one guy who has like 140,000 in his V6. That it is in dollars not in any other currency. I think he is pushing like something in the neignborhood of about 500hp or so. But he has money to piss away though. :dance: Matt :devil:
i will never be done..when i feel i am done I will drop a bored big block v8 in there fully chromed and enjoy the v8 powa....and repaint the car..new rims..new interior is like a cycle that never ends moohahha
iam either going to drop a V8 or get a turbo from andy.
Im going to sell it and purchase an 03-04 Black Cobra Convertible then do a Saleen Speedster transformation on it :beerchug:
Im done, I dont plan on making it faster or putting more money into it, basically ill just wait so I can get a 96 triple black cobra or a 96 mystic
well the v6 mustangs i think are great cars. they may not be able to be as fast as cobras but they look the same. if you are going for looks i think it is a great car to modify. if you want speed i would say get a cobra. either way i think you can have lots of fun modding it.
Right know I am gutting the interior. I have new race seats going in soon.
Matt :nutkick:
600 rwhp is my goal. I am currently most of the way there for saving for my turbo.
sounds like we will have some bad ass V6s for me i fianlly got my front sus re-built with all performance parts, so now i need to round out the sus, get my interior and exterior done.

that is crazy cuz you can get the Hi Po 4.3 long block stroker motor with a good blower and be 600rwhp+ and that is only about $10,000 to $13,000 for the motor, blower and all your instalation and tuning... of course you have to do suspension and tranny but i just dont see where that much money would go... oh and to answer this thread that is the route that i am planning to go..:D hopefully i manage to get things together to get there but it will take sometime...Quote:

loos like when its all said and done ill have a 300 rwhp V6 with the sus and brakes to handle it :thumpupn:
think i will stop at around 400 hp i think that would be awsome from a 6
Me neither. The hp race will never end.
well i started with my supercharger on my 05 sixbanger, I guess i will stop modding when the engine goes. lol
i plan to break into the 11's
why the fuck is my horse pink? what kinda shit is that?
That is your gotstang ranking. Put up a website and you'll get more votes, and therefore the pink pony will go away.
I'll stop when I hit the 10's. I got a few big strides to go. Don't think I'll do it with this motor though. I'll need to be forged
are you going F/I?Quote:

I am trying to put together a twin turbo, forged 4.2 set up to go in next winter :j:Quote:

Heck, now I do both in and out and I love every minute of it.
:diss: I'll stop when my wife tells me I can't do anything else to the car anymore! HA! :diss:
