Either way you can't go wrong. I've seen some fucking BADASS s/c SBF's and some fucking badass turbo'd SBF's, I do prefer turbo but it's a lot more money and time for a setup like that.

Just boost it someway. Best thing to happen to a mustang ever was when someone decided putting a supercharger on one would be "kinda neat".

Theres a company that makes affordable Turbo kits for the 96-98 cobras. On3Preformance. Its about $2300 for the entire kit. Im thinking of going that route once I get out of high school.

You can't beat the sound of a screamin 4.6. I'd have to imagine that you'd probably have more fun with a turbo kit though

[Awt2 x]

We already have a screamin 4.6 though... Gotta remember my dad has a Terminator c:

You can never go wrong with TWO screamin 4.6's :smug:

Hmm, Valid point is valid. I'd rather a turbo car though.. Something about it..

My 1985 Toyota Camry. Just bought it, getting started on spiffing it back up:

[bradley]

Sweet camry. Classic as hell.

At least the older Japanese cars were sometimes metal. Sadly, my 92 accord had more steel in it than my mom's 06 corvette. I know it's "the way forward" and "economical", but plastic and cars just don't mix to me. The new subcompacts and "economy" cars like the Fit and Prius-pussmobile just seem like fisher price toys.

Edited:

also, nice jeep.

The Corvette is allowed to use plastic because it can curb-stomp and boy racer's rice mobile for cheap.

Shut the fuck up both of you before this escalates. There's nothing wrong with plastic on cars.

Plastic bumpers look cooler :)

id rather ride in what we make today than a giant metal box with no give zones so all the impact of the force goes straight to me.

I stopped caring about new cars when the use of real chrome was replaced by plastic painted to look like chrome

that is a matter of size and weight. Anything that gets hit by a big rig is going to get fucked.

Had a friend go head-on in a classic firebird (might have been a camaro, don't remember) against a tractor trailer at 60mph and survive surprisingly unharmed. Bruised and banged up, totaled his car, and had to get a few stitches, but his passenger compartment was unharmed. Plastic is somewhat comparable to steel in low-speed impact, but above maybe 25-30mph, it has no chance in hell of surviving.

On the plus side, he doesn't drink and drive anymore.

Makes my mullet grow! I've always wanted a Fiero.

[Dylan_94]

My mom had a fiero, but sold it shortly after my older brother was born. I wish she kept it.

[MightyMax]

Fuck i want a Fiero, those things are so cool, and really zippy with the right parts.

It may be used as much as a 1$ whore, but its never failed me.

I have a Fiero. It's sitting half disassembled in the garage waiting for... something to happen to it. Needs an engine. Too much work.

get some wikd sik body kit

[Dylan_94]

A durango with a poorly repainted bumper (or even a properly painted one) shouldn't be used to push down fence posts. I'd like to thank my parents.

[Demolitions2]

For all of you talking about the Fiero, the one im getting has newly installed brakes including new brake hoses, all four new drilled and slotted rotors, rebuilt calipers, premium brake linings, all new fluids, New water pump, and new fuel pump and strainer. The body is in perfect condition. AND ONLY 73,000 MILES.

FOR $2000.

My luck is looking fantastic right now.

Edit: ahaha i just checked with my insurance company. My insurance is going down by $150 by switching from my impala to the fiero.

There has to be a catch somewhere... why put all that money in the thing and sell it for 2k?

there isn't one. I just know the guy selling it. Well it's his dad's car, but 1, i know his dad, and 2, he's old and doesn't drive it. no need for it.

[Whitefox08]

My uncle gave me his 1995 Tahoe since my grand prix died, Fucking love it 5.7 L V8, and all the space in the car is amazing
