this stinks, stupid slow 2.3s N/A that is. Im disappointed with how slow of an engine it is. I mean seriously, driving a mustang is great, mine sits low and turns on a dime but that lazy engine, is practically worthless. Its actually funny tho im 16 which is a shame I figured id work my car from the ground up, but still. I think its hilarious when people know what your driving but they dont know its a 4 cylinder. Ive been challenged by EVERYTHING, neons, civics, s-10s, el caminos, BMW M3s, and most recently a 5.0 GT. Im ashamed of my slow car, I lose all respect for the power plant when these stupid little ricers blow my doors off. 2.3T I JUST WANT TO BEAT THOSE RICERS. I cant get a hold of a 2.3 longblock yet, but i have found a 8.8 rear with the 4cylinder t5. Think i should buy this? I have yet to make this thing FAST. is there anything i could do, what is the stock gears in the back of a a4ld 7.5'' pumpkin, and the 5 speed 8.8'' Would it make much of a difference?
