Well..i am 17 years old...and over the past couple of months have been on a quest to find a car that suited me best...(this isn't my first car btw...)...i wanted it to be dependable,cheap on insurance,good gas mileage, AND with possibilties of being fast..well..it seems i have found it. I have always loved the Fox bodies too...my favorite car body style of all time...so now for the questions.

1.what is the difference in the turbocoupe engines besides having turbo?..
2.can i get it as fast or faster than a 5.0 by using just bolton's and without nitrous?
3.about what gas mileage do you average,and what mods do you have done to yours?..

thanks.... -MB

1. Engine internal's and cyl head internal's. Designed to handle boost. The N/A motor's are not and can be a little weak under high boost levels.

2. Yes. For very little money a 2.3t will be faster than mostfailry stock 5.0 car's while using J/Y part's from other 2.3t car's.

3. My SVO with all of the normal bolt on part's, big turbo, intercooler, exhaust etc was averaging right around 25 mpg in town and 27 on the highway.
