I just hit 100,000 miles and want to know should i still be thinking about supercharging or should i just do bolt-on's? My car runs great and everything but i just dont know if this is still a good idea.

Im just kinda at that point to where im thinking maybe i should just do full bolt ons and just wait and get a 03/04 cobra next that is already supercharged, since by the time i finish paying for this car which is a 99 GT btw my credit score would have gone up since this is my first car financed in my name, and i will prolly qualify for a cobra.

hmmm

well at 100,000 miles i wouldnt be doing ANYTHING

not to sound rude, but if i were you i would save the money and be able to get that cobra




maybe an 07 shelby?

100,000 miles???? Shes just getting broke in real good. Its up to you on the maybe getting a cobra or not, but i wouldnt be nervous at all about modding a car with alot of miles on it. My 96 prob. has somewhere close to 150,000 on it and i was still putting bolt on after i hit 100,000. ( Knock on wood) She still hasnt left me stranded.

miles doesn't mean bad. do a compression test... how many owners have there been, and has it been maintained. My 97 has 110800 on it and the engine runs like a champ with good compression. Not to say I will supercharge it, mainly because I can't afford it.

i didnt say it was totaly impractical or impossible

i just woudl hate to hear that you put a few grand into the car then something blew and you
lost the car/parts/labor

plus that 07 cobra is a MEAN car

Thanks, guys i am just looking to see what other peoples opinions were. + it isn't a stick and i really want a stick now so i think if im not 110% satified then i prolly shouldnt... Its just that im getting so darn itchy for power.

exactly. That's why I'm not risking my engine. Should I ever get a blower, you'd better believe it's getting a forged block.

I figure why get rid of or destroy the current engine, I'll run it into the ground first. I will probably end up buying a cobra that comes blown tho, who knows.
