I have a bunch of pics, but they are all about 1g in file size each...StangNet will only let me post something 78kb or smaller!! I can e-mail some to you if you'd like...I'm not very computer inclined to post them on a web site. Don't even know if my ISP offers any web space. ????????????

Please do send some pics! Just click on my username and send me an email with photos of exterior, interior, engine compartment and undercaraige (if you got those). Much appreciated!
 
I sent some pics to uneverkno to post.
The car is in excellent condition! Very reliable. Very fast! (In my opinion) I am a very maticulous person and want everything done right the first time. I had the car on a dyno in New Jersey before I put on the off road H Pipe. (Still had the stock H Pipe with the 4 cats on it) and it put down 321.5 horse power and 336 LfBt of Torque. Calculated with 18% loss it comes out to about 392 horse and 409 torque before the H Pipe upgrade. Once I put on the off road H Pipe, it opened up a whole new world of power...but I have no clue how much. all I know is that it spins through first and second gear like crazy... and will occasionally spin 3rd (or at least chirp it). It's a fun car to drive! :( I'm going to miss it!!!:(

I'm trying to sell it ASAP, but I want to get a decent price for it. I have a subwoofer and amps and all the wires in it that I need to take out, that's why I haven't posted it yet (need to find the time to actually do it!) Once I do that and get the headunit hooked up normally with all 6 speakers, I'll be set to post it and have it ready to take home. I just wanted opinions on how much I could get for it. I was thinking in the 9 - 10 range, but wasn't sure. Thank you for everyone's comments. And if anyone is interested please email me if you want to come check it out. I'm going to go the free routes in selling it first (local paper, craigs list, StangNet, etc.) before I do an eBay auction. If you want the asking price I would say it's in the 10K range. And if I can get motivated from a hard week of work, I'll get the stereo situated this weekend and have the car ready go by next week.
 
well lets put it this way, i paid 8500 for whats in my sig. about 3k on the engine and i think like 8-10 on transmission etc.. when i bought it, so im sure yours can net something near that. but then ive heard these cars go for different prices in different parts of the country so i dont know, just depends if theres someone out there looking for a car like that with gas prices the way they are, goodluck man.
 
just for anyone who was wondering, or someone searching on this topic, I ended up getting $7,000 for my baby. It's now in Georgia and I got a Honda Accord to comute into Tampa every day to work :rolleyes: . It's awesome having air conditioning again and the automatic is GREAT in daily traffic! ...Am I growing up!!!??? :bang: Thanks again for all the comments!
