RE: Looks fast, or IS fast?
Well i prefer looking good then being fast, because while owning a mustang, it is really EASY to look good!! So why not pay to bump up the exterior a little bit, then work on the engine in the future. Just IMO

RE: Looks fast, or IS fast?
Im doing mine the way a sports car should be done...First motor and then looks! I would rather have a stock looking fast *** car for a little bit till I could save up some money to do the looks. As opposed to looking fast as hell and being stock as hell under the hood! But hey thats JMO!!!!

RE: Looks fast, or IS fast?
Eh, I like both.
My car sits in a parking lot for 50% of its life, the other 40% in traffic and another 8% cruising around on 45mph limit roads.
So why pay a shat load of money that really only represents 2% of my time in the car? Why not get stares and looks while the car is parked/cruising down the road/sitting in traffic.
Don't get me wrong, I have V6 clones, but honestly... $4,000+ in performance mods for me would be a waste. Shyeah, 1/2 of the people who mod their car do it just for bragging rights.

Berry punny!
I love the roar of a V8 and the 0-45 is where I'm at. I'm just saying there's no need for me to build a 351 and throw a turbo on it (was my plan at one time)...
Now when I get out to Iowa...bwahahah.
