It's probably a bit slower than the 99 as it sits, but it wont be for long. It's way cooler to me anyway.
The 99 was a cool car without a doubt, I'll have a real terminator one day.
That's fine. How about next time you leave some indication of that in your post, like a queer smiley face or something. This is the internet, people can't read your mind. Sorry for snapping at you dude, but how was I supposed to know?
Ah i can smell the pissing match about to begin
opcorn:
No need for that on the interwebz.
That's the plan!
I'm queer with the Hass, just like your car with purple wheels.

Them things run some sick numbers with just 385 HP. They're badass for sure!
FFR builds some very nice stuff. Expect the body to be rough, beyond that it's just bolting Mustang parts to a tube chassis. Do you know anybody with an FFR (any type)?
haha the coupe isnt mine its a buddy of mine that i pit for... think ive lost more blood working on it then i have on mine

man thats a good looking notch, i like it alot, someone definitly put alot of love into it and there are alot of things done that people wouldnt notice at first glance. I love the 86 nose, especially when they put the newer style molding on the car, that thing is clean.
A word of advice, GET RID OF THOSE COMP LIFTERS, i did alot of research on solid rollers and there were very few people that had anything good to say about them, seems like they have alot of failures and when one goes it can be a pretty big deal. Whenever i get the money to put a solid roller in my car im going to use isky red zones with the bushing option, they are not cheap, but it seems like they are the only solid roller lifter that dosent have to be rebuilt every season.
How high does the motor rev?

i don't think i could give up forced induction after just 5 or 6 months... you probably got a couple few grand back though didn't you? that is one sick looking car man, what are the plans for it? are you going to keep it carb? going to throw some boost at it to compensate for the loss of the 99? whats up dude?!?!?
