[QUOTE="offroadkarter, post: 15636928, member: 79484"] Which is why I asked for a budget, I have 5500 into my black car and its been a great backup car. My father and I split it between his f150 and my mustang. In the winter I throw snow tires on it and hit the road. Need to rebuild the limited slip this year before winter hits and rebuild the front end (154k miles and counting). It's clean enough that I'm not embarrassed to park it somewhere, but its not so nice that I'm afraid to park it somewhere. (If that makes sense). I also know people on here bitch about how slow they are because they don't run low 12's out of the box, IMO a canned tune is literally the only thing you need to make these move around in traffic. A tune and nothing else will make this a low 15 second car to a low 14 second car. On the highway the 4v is at home. My car with the stock 3.55's and LT's + full exhaust moves out just fine, I have a feeling I can get it into the high 13's on a cool day. Some day I might try, I'm curious if its faster than my 04 was with headers, a stock exhaust and 4.10's.
