I think i sorta found a solution to my "dump truck" car. I am considering cleaning my car up giving it some fresh paint, slappin a for sale sign on it and begin looking for a fairly cheap and relativly clean 5.0, keep the 5.0 treat it like a baby make it look dead sexy, save up some money for awhile then put it up for sale take the money from that to buy a nice clean 2.3 car with a bad engine and build up a 2.3 turbo for it.

Why go through all that when it will cost you no more than $2000 to turn your car into a beautiful 2.3T

well first off i am gonna do this because i want to try something else, and secondly i bet i wont even race the car and if i end up racing at all.......theres one turbo'ed car that i know of in my town and it is a 87 or 88 TC completely stock and not maintained. kids my age around here seem to think that a new cavalier or sunfire with no mufflers is something special.
