I like how this new car drives very quietly and smoothly, and its comfy as hell, power everything, and AC that works. Not my dream car, but, its about as close to a mini van as I plan to get.

Just wait til the tbird is done. I picked up an FMS-E-303 cam this weekend

Someone's building a small block ford

I know someone with a TC that wouldn't mind getting rid of it...I am sure he will chime in...

The interior is gutted and ready for a race seat and the turbo needs to be replaced, prob freshen up the motor, the paint is flat black. I bet you'd offer him 500$ and he say ok lol...

so again, why didnt you just buy what you will end up wanting anyways? g to reg pt swap is about as silly as a zx3 to svt swap, by the time you are done it would be cheaper to have bought the SVT or in this case the GT
...do you even know what yer talking about? shift boot!!!!!!!!!! whats wrong with a svt swap??????my car should be faster than a svt, its lighter for one( smaller brakes,knuckels,rotors)...shift boot.. i dont have the abs or tcs to worry about....shift boot... my suspintion is way better than the svt stuff, and its a sleeper! shift boot!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, You think so huh? What about that big heavy sound system you have in there, What's that weigh?

More weight in the back? I kind of like the way the back end breaks loose before the front. It handles a lot like a rear driver.

So you got another 60 lbs for you stereo and what, 240 or so in the drivers seat?
