RE: Stroked Stang (bad decision) UPDATE!
ORIGINAL: ZW99GT
Well, after some great advice from two very knowledgeable sincere members(2000GT4.6 and code3gt)and my mechanic, I decided not to get the stang I was wanting. I told my dad that I wasnt going to get the car anymore, and he was heartbroken. He wants me to pay for a fast car just so he can drive it! lol, jerk. So, he offered me his 1990 F150 177k mile single cab(to drive daily), in return of me buying this car and us going to the track together and stuff. He was in the market for a new truck anyways, and this POS was gonna trade in for $1000 on a good day.
So, in short, Im gonna buy this car, and it wont be my daily driver. It will see 20-30 miles a week going to and from the track, with some moderate cruising. Its gonna suck paying insurance on both cars(Full coverage on the GT and bare minimum on the F150), but its gonna be worth it.
All this is assuming this car withstands my hour long *** raping(a.k.a test drive) and makes it 6 hrs back home with NO problems. I told the seller if it acts up on the way home in any way, I will turn directly around and get my money back. He agreed and insisted that it would be fine.
ATTN. code3gt and 2000GT4.6. I REALLY appreciate your input on this. I'm really glad theres guys like you that wouldnt just let me buy this car to drive everyday and be way in over my head. I can't thank you enough.

] That sounds mean! How much whp is it laying down? and how much money? So there is no FI? You just may be giving code a run for his money
I agree with everyone else, it probally shouldnt be used as a dd but I couldnt help to take it out a couple times a week just to slaughter some camaros/firebirds.

Driving a raised compression stroker cam'd car for a DD would be a total PITA.
Also, ZW99, the stroker kit is from livernois.
