I know ill probably catch some **** for posting this, but I am having the toughest time trying to make plans for my 02 GT 5 speed. I havent decided on F/I or N/A. The only thing i do know is that I want a good street car. I never plan on making this car a strip car. I want something i can go cruise the town in and if a camaro or something pulls up, I can wax his"butt" and go about my business. What should i be looking at for what i want to do? What is going to be more reliable, since that is an issue? I am refraining from purchasing upgrades right now since i dont wanna have to back track my mods because im unsure of what to do! thanks guys

 

well, everyone is gonna say go F/I, but both have their pros and cons. I like the all motor route, but im never gonna hang with a nasty camaro. Im not really worried about killing anything in a race, plus my theory is that with 5.7 liters and a 50,000 price tag, youd better smoke a little 4.6. But putting a blower on would definitely hang with LS1 cars, and if you did a little motor work (cams, headers), youd have yourself a screamer...so flip a coin and start dumpin some paychecks into it....

 

would your car hang with a mildly modded camaro?
-we don't have many modded camaros around here where i live. I know that there is always someone faster, i just want to run about a mid 12 in a 1/4 id guess. that would be a "good" street car, id think.

 

Built motor and juice.

 

Personally I'd go with all motor.

 

yeah but you have a 4v motor which means ALOT more N/A potential, compared to 2v's

 

N/A, more rewarding when you win a race and pop the hood andtheirs no blower, i have bolt ons, stage one cams and 373s and i have no problem hanging with/beatinglight bolt onLS1s

 

what do you run in the 1/4?

 

Built Motor and Boost

 

never been to the track before actually..ive been told that with slicks i could possibly dip into the 12s idk
