[QUOTE="oregon87, post: 16849735, member: 165625"] Alright Mustang fans, I'm looking for a few opinions. Roughly 10 years ago, I finished an extensive build on a fox body Mustang, basically to American Iron specs. Gutted, caged, full MM suspension, Konis, Wilwood brakes, good paint, strong aero, etc. This car is the poster child for a killer road racing fox. Great car. However, after putting three engines in it in three years and splitting the block on the third engine at Thunderhill, I decided to let the car go. By sheer luck, and a damn good deed by the present owner, he apparently used the decals on the car to locate me and offered to sell the car back. It's generally the same car, however, he's built a nice 363 stroker for it and has touched up a few other areas. I have a strong sentimental attachment to it and would love to have it back, however, I already have a 2000 Cobra R and a 1980 911SC in the garage. As such, there isn't much room at the house for such an endeavor. We could make it work, even though the racecar would certainly put a large dent in the "rolling restoration" budget of the 911, even though it doesn't need much. So...people...the questions is; if you had the opportunity to buy back one of the best cars you ever built, with the idea that racing it again could be fun (auto-x, track days), would you? [/QUOTE]
