Only plan's would be ported blower, heads, long tubes, bassani cat back and tuned...should be roughly a 600hp car when completed.

Google for Cobra replica wheels. They can be had for cheap.

You will choke the stock heads with a ported blower and pulley with a stock cam?

Good choice on Bassani. They are sex.

I respect RWD muscle cars, but i have never liked them. The ergonomics always seem to be wrong. I also get the feeling that they offer brute force over smooth finesse. Give me independent suspenions, awd, turbo induction, and comfortable fitting seats, till then Ford and GM.....i will not consider owning one of your cars.

You would of loved driving my GTO then. It had independent suspension, probally in the top 5 best seats ever made, could be finessed but when you wanted to it could snap you back into the seat. It was also very forgiving when you pushed it.

My Mustang is the complete opposite, everything just feels bland but since it has a solid rear it launches really well. Also can't beat the price of parts for it and the 4.6L has a sexy exhaust note.

This is the exact impressions I've had from rides in both of your cars.

Make sure you get an 04 then because the 03 Termi heads were known for having spark plug issues.

I wish i would have driven the GTO when you still had it. It seemed like a fun car to drive.

When it comes to cars, life, etc....its all about compromises. Unless you have a money tree and can pick cash off of it anytime, no car is perfect. Things that i make require are lowwer on another person's list.

If i could franenstien a car, i would love a M3 E36 interior on a GT-R drivetrain with a 5.0L Mustang V8. But thats not going to happen anytime soon so i will compromise.

That would be a hell of a bastard child and a blast to own.

Think of it this way... give up your balls, get an RS500... spend some money and get some prosthetic balls... then RS500 gets you ladies... you can smash raw dog because your shooting blanks... you get AIDS but it doesn't matter because you will die before the RS500 lets you down.
