that was in my 4 cyl. and besides, the camera angles sucked anndd that was a crummy run.

Yeah yeah
once again, i get bashed for absolutely no reason.
Mike, I have gotten along with you since you got here and I dont believe I have ever flamed you but that video deserves some bashing

I didnt see anything that would denote driving skills. Getting a Fox sideways in the rain can be done by anyone and seeing it snap back like that it tells me it was not a controlled skid at all.
On the other hand I have done the same thing in my teens. It was a CFI Stang so it didnt have much more power but it was close
MIke,
How dare you spin your tires, powerbrake, and slide sideways in your mustang. NO ONE NOT ONE of us on here did that when we were 16. NO NOT EVER. If anyone says different they MUST be lying. After seeing that you must also have 427 speeding tickets and should not have anything over your 105 HP 4 banger. DO not follow anyones directions in here with a DIY turbo or 5 liter HCI swap. From the looks of it you WILL DIE because you have done these things....
Edit: Also NONE of us continue to do these things now as well...

I hear ya. When I was 16 and had my 84.5 GT350 I did donuts on someones lawn and then went 4x4ing on a dirt freeway they just started to build. Hit a rock and broke the fuel line... man, pushing a Stang across 1000' of lightly packed dirt reall sucks.

And even now when I take my Cobra out I will look for that deserted back country road and push it till I am doing a controlled drift (not like the ricers, just pushing my limits) and I will break the tires loose from a stop and all that.
The difference is my car can take the abuse where a cheap worn Fox with a JY turbo build will die if he drives it like that video or how I push my Cobra. Also, at 16 years old my 176 hp GT350 was more then enough to get me in trouble as the car had more power then my abilities at the time could handle. Sure I thought I was hot **** and needed tripple the power but now that I am older and look back at it I am glad I didnt have more power cause I would be dead.
I like Mike, he makes me laugh and hes a pretty humble memeber. And yeah, its his life and he needs to learn from his mistakes but I sure would like to save him some hassel. I like his idea and admire his drive to get it done but ultimatly because of his age/job/money situation a turbo Fox is the last thing I would do. Sure, I would get a Fox 5.0 cause they are cool as hell and what 17 year old dosent want a sweet sounding Pony car. I just think if hes gonna spend $4000 then spend it ALL on the Fox and get a good one. Mabey save some cash for FLSFC'c and springs, exhaust and lower control arms and just enjoy the car. A fairly stock Fox is alot of fun and fairly reliable.
Seeing how he handled that 4 banger and I remember the vid of his 5.0 driving I think a turbo Stang is beyond his current abilities. It will eaither blow up from being driven too hard or blow up from not tuning it right or blow up from him installing a boost controll and cranking it fully open "just for 2 seconds" or worst yet, him pile driving it into a tree.
