    New Car Poll

    I just finished college a month ago and am looking to replace the pathetic explorer I have (it still gets the job done, but I've been saving for and wanting a new car for years). Which would you choose given ~34K to work with? Obviously the 07 gt500 is first choice, but that exceeds my limit :(

    Good or Bad Idea?

    Hey folks, I currently drive a '92 Explorer, as evident in my sig. I had this idea: put a lightning (gen. 2) engine, tranny, suspension, brakes, etc. in my truck. First off, is this even possible? For instance, would any of the lightning's suspension parts work in a old explorer? Also, if...

    Curious about Lightning/Cobra experiences

    This is really sad, I know, but the faster car I've ever driven is a bone stock Subaru WRX :loser: I was wondering and therefore am posing the question: what did the first time behind the wheel of a 99-04 Lightning or Terminator feel like? Just by watching some of the vids that have appeared...

    Just had a thought...

    Just daydreaming about SVTP... I was wondering what it would be like if it were a real forum, meaning all members show up at a specific place (say a local high school/college gymnasium) and discuss/question/comment about all the stuff we talk about here. Would there be separate booths/tables...

    Here's the situation: I have ~17K already; I will make ~2-4K this summer. May question is, what are my realistic possibilities of obtaining a 2001+ V8 mustang (was thinking about a dark highland green '01 bullitt) by the end of the summer? Is it even possible or will I need 5K+ more to cover...

    NY Auto Show

    went to the ny auto show today and i was disappointed that there were no SVT's (even though I expected that, i guess:rolleyes: ). saw the ford gt, the 05 mustang and the gt-r concept.

    Registered on another car forum...can't post!

    I registered on another car forum, ClubWRX.net, and can't post. The forums are set up almost exactly like here so I thought I could just register, activate my email, and start posting. The prob. is that the ClubWRX has yet to send me an email and therefore I can't do anything about...

    KB Cobra or ZO6?

    Regarding the 03 Kenne Bell Cobra from the 0-160mph vid, wouldn't that car be quicker (0-60 and 1/4) than a stock 02-03 ZO6? (I have a friend who thinks the ZO6 would own the KB Cobra)...
