Wouldnt it have been easier to just start with a mustang?
Had one.....had three of them actually and wanted something different. I got tired of the creeks and rattles, the crappy ride and every teenager in a minivan, Civic, or a Sunfire wanting to run me at the light. Also, at 6'3" another Fox wasn't going to cut it.
SN95's were still far too pricey for my liking when I got rid of my last fox and I got this car for a steal ($800 with a bad engine).
Now, it outruns anything from the factory short of an '03-'04 Cobra, or a GT500, out handles and out stops a Fox and rides better than any of them. And I've actually got a trunk with this car. Not to mention it still knocks down about 26mpg on the highway.
The plan was to keep this car a few years while the SN95's came down in price, then transplant the drive train later on. If you think about it....I saved a bunch of money. Now instead of having to be without power for X-number of years while I scrape the finances together for the SN95, I still get to have a nice, comfortable, fast car that when I'm done with will allow me to swap the parts over and not have to build a second time with another Mustang.
Look, I understand the point you are trying to make, but in no way, shape or form does me building my Cougar, that already had and was set up with an existing Ford modular based platform compare to going through the trouble of scraping up the parts to put a Chevy engine in a Mustang and creating some bastardized version of a hot rod when there are plenty of offerings, right from Ford that would make just as much power, would be easier to install and wouldn't get disapproving looks from Ford loyalists like myself.
So.....have you any more straws you would like to grasp at, or have I answered all of your questions to your liking?
