Your ship is sinkingxr8d302 said:Dude you are so annoying.....
Yeah, ok......xr8d302 said:I only looked at your last post for about 10 seconds, all i care to add is that you DO require a good tune if you're doing an H/C/I swap, basic or advanced.
Let's not kid ourselves(picking out spelling mistakes), you read it word for wordxr8d302 said:Also, you spelled drag suspension - grag suspention. This isn't helping your cause.
I'd hate to see how much he'd pay to put a n/a 4v in the low 11's94gts said:used parts big guy
And doing all the work yourself saves you a good deal of money:Teh-Win:
mattkimsey said:If you're considering trading it in, I would go with the trade in value of private party value. Why would you include TTT with a car in which you've already paid it?For a new car, you WOULD need to include it, because that's extra money you will pay. Sheesh, they told me it was a young crowd in here, but wow!
cool

Yesss!!!Low-5.0 said:Sorry guys, I just can't take not replying to this.amnit:
You've got 4yrs of service out of it! How is that hard to understand? At this point in time, right now, if you set a goal to go 10's in your car or a cobra....you would need to take the current value of your car plus the amount of mods you would need. This would be how much it would cost you to run 10's. If you lost any money from time of purchase untill now, that money is gone, done, outta here, not comin back. Understand?Low-5.0 said:Im not considering trading in my car, Im talking about the total amount that I've spent on my car to this date. I paid $6500 for it, but your telling me based on the current value of my car that I can't add $6500 to my total spent on the car because it's not worth that anymore.
You've already paid this 4yrs. ago., that money is NOT coming back. If you buy a Cobra, that will be extra money, that you will pay, opposed to keeping your current car...got it?Low-5.0 said:Why would I not add "TTT" to my total cost if you're adding it to the total cost of a new Cobra?
No, we are talking about this moment in time, right now. Disregard what you paid in the past, that money is gone. At this moment in time, you have a car worth X value. You can sell this car for market value and buy the Cobra with all of it's added expenses. Understand?Low-5.0 said:I thought we were talking about total cost of investment in the car + mods? So once you've paid the TTT for the Cobra, can you remove that from the total cost of the car since it's allready been paid?
The penalty of modding your car.Joes95GT said:You're right about that Dave! I just like the challenge. I guess that's why my car has been broken for 14 months.
Wanna race?How's the rice-mobile running, Dave?!
This gives me an idea, I'm going to see if anyone in the 5.0 section has ran mid 11's for 4k minus the cost of exhaust and clutch...stay tuned...I want to know too!super302 said:i had a feeling you were gonna jump in, there is always an exception to the rule of things

This I understand, but I thought you were talking about buying a 5.0 compared to buying a Cobra, not building up you're current 5.0. Maybe Im getting this pointless thread mixed up with your other pointless thread....You've already paid this 4yrs. ago., that money is NOT coming back. If you buy a Cobra, that will be extra money, that you will pay, opposed to keeping your current car...got it?
Yeah I get it. I was talking about the price to buy and build a 5.0 compared to the price of a Cobra. You were talking about the price to build a current owned 5.0 compared to buying a Cobra. I think it's clear now, we can drop this subject.No, we are talking about this moment in time, right now. Disregard what you paid in the past, that money is gone. At this moment in time, you have a car worth X value. You can sell this car for market value and buy the Cobra with all of it's added expenses. Understand?

That thing sounds pretty sick! I don't know much about *** cars...I never knew that had that much potential.Rootus said:Wanna race?

my best of 12.91 @ 110 (2.1 short time) with stock injectors, maf, tb, gears, and 245 street tires. If i had done gears, tires and the other bolt ons i am confident i would have gone 12.00's or better with my heavy ass sn-95.
Though some of you may see him as annoying, his points and estimations are 100% correct (as far as modifications are concerned). I actually race my car unlike some people on here so i know where the right mods will get you:Track:
