Re: ummm
Hey, you should have seen the first drafts of the posts I made tonight... I didnt come on tonight bent on being a malicious ass crack, but yes, I have been more to the point tonight.
I am standing by statement on this though. Unless your goals are to maybe get into the 14's, you just have a bad platform. Any reasonable amount of money wouldnt do hardly anything for that car. I understand there may be some emotional ties to the car, but if the "need for speed" or whatever isnt enough to sever those ties then I think you just need to accept the fact that its not that fast of a car.

Re: ummm
Well I don't know about that. Most people start off just doing all the bolt ons cause their easy. If, from day 1, you pull the motor, do a complete rebuild and slap a nice turbo on it, you can get quite a bit of power from it. Starting price to get to some ok numbers would be around $2000.Obviously it can go way higher, but if you want power from the car, just start with a full rebuild.
