    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    How would that matter? Paid off my '02 Mustang (including all the bolt-ons) in 2 & 1/2 years. Had enough money when I sold my Mustang to pay cash for a new '06 (below sticker) GMC 1500 and still had money left over to put into some home repairs. Used the truck for what I needed it for, and sold...

    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    Even "free" it still sucks to make car payments while the car stays in the shop so long. Had a Bronco II set at the dealership for 2 months, under warranty, because they couldn't find the bad injector wiring. And it took 3 dealerships to find the problem. And 6k doesn't seem too far out of...

    Just noticed your "founding member" tag in your avatar - do you plan on getting another Mustang, ever? When I got rid of my '02 Mustang I thought I'd be headed towards the direction of EVO's, SRT6's, SRT8's, Mazda8's, Next Gen GTO/Camaro, etc...and thought I'd never want another Mustang, but...

    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    I see a lot of BMW's and European cars in general, in my shop, and I guess they must be *built* with cold weather in mind and aren't accustomed to 100+ degree parking lot heat and the higher operating temps that come with it, like we have here down south. It's not really a reliability issue...

    Think you nailed it. If "UPGRADE" and "nicer" or prettier fit-in-finish was all that mattered this would be a "Lexus" NG...or you'd start seeing subjects like "Got a Camry - so STOKED!!". And in case it was missed earlier, I'm still saying that BMW makes sweet cars - Mustangs are different and...

    Odd that rules were posted on "03-04-04, 01:13 AM" ...but I found this http://k53.pbase.com/v3/96/492696/1/48255824.spoony693et.gif GIF from this forum, from another sig someone was using just a few weeks ago...so I thought the one I picked was safer, but I didn't know it was against the rules...

    Uh, you must only be reading about every 4th word that I wrote. I clearly stated that the BMW was superior in the areas in question... I said: "But I can't complain/compare BMW's build quality, handling and features" Does that seem clear enough? Again, I never said it wouldn't be better...

    Green Cobra R burn out!

    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    Don't know that the BMW would be able to *double* its boost to both turbos and add some bolt-ons and still be able to not blow something up - the stock boost is 8.5, but the SRT's is about 15, stock. So I guess I could build the bottom end, go Stage 4 making 28 pounds boost, add better...

    Well, don't know if you missed my signature or not, I did buy that (Stage 2+) SRT4...and, NO, it wouldn't beat my old KB '02 Mustang.

    Quality doesn't always = "Look what I bought" If that were the case..."Look at my new V-6 (Honda) Accord" True, the BMW might be "better" but I'd expect to see a few more positive responses if the subject was: "sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement *cough* LOADED Roush427R *cough*"

    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    Hate to be a killjoy...but I'm sure a basic Stage 2 SRT-4 (single turbo) w/ minor bolts-ons and 17+ pounds boost, wouldn't have too much to worry about when it has a BMW 335i with a "twin turbo 6" in the next lane. But I can't complain/compare BMW's build quality, handling and features though -...

    ROUSH 427R

    And then, again, it could also mean that a few Corvette, F-Body, GTO, SRT8 and maybe even a couple of early Viper owners would actually think you had a hot 427cid engine in the Mustang and they'd be too worried to even try and (street)race... ...not counting Doc's GTO. :hail2:

    Saw something interesting tonight...

    When I had a Borla stinger CB, Cragar wheels and the Cobra R wing on my car I saw another GT that looked exactly the same as mine, so I hurried up and went home to make sure mine was still in the garage. It was.

    Miss my old Mustang - Getting another one...

    The modding? Perhaps not, this time. Main reason I got rid of my '02 - got tired of doing mods and still needed to do some more to it when I sold it. That's why I did all my mods to the SRT4 right after I got it...and stopped, because I didn't want to spend 4 years modding it like I did to the...

    Miss my old Mustang - Getting another one...

    Priced a few '07 Mustang GTs and I was impressed with the options - heated seats, "leather upgrade", DVD Navigation, interior upgrades, factory installed racing stripes... This time I wanted something a little different and pre-modded since I'm hoping to not do ANY mods to the car after I buy...

    Miss my old Mustang - Getting another one...

    Didn't think I'd be missing my old Mustang so soon, but it looks like I'll be replacing my S2 SRT-4 much sooner than I would have thought/hoped. Where I live, I'm lucky enough to have an "Authorized" Ford dealer for: Roush, Saleen, Shelby, Foose and Steeda...so I have a bunch to choose from...

    Look what I bought instead of a supercharger?

    I called Team Shinoda for a price quote for a complete Level 3 upgrade on my '02 Mustang and they quoted me a price of.....$45,000.00.....if I supply the car. Guess I'll just have to put that dream on hold until at least 2009, after the next generation Mustang arrives.

    Im getting pretty Dissapointed in my Stang

    Well, same story with me...so I KB'ed it and still wasn't happy with it - still needed forged engine parts, stronger transmission parts, axles, etc. Already dumped 10k+ into it. I'd say just do what you think you'd like, but be prepared to do it right or you may still be unhappy with it. I...
