what year 351? or is it a new block? if it's a used or junkyard block, I'd be pretty weary. Those engines are still susceptible to splitting at 500+rwhp, which is kind of pathetic
why can't you just decide to keep your car for heavens sake? or do you really hate it that much? This is like the third time this week I've seen you ask about getting rid of it, and I don't get it. is there something wrong with the car?
honestly, even if you weren't looking to sell it and you had an offer of 13.5k, I would buy it in a heartbeat and put the money into savings. thats a damn good deal right now.

people, err, smart people always start way high, and work their way down. When I bought my car, he originally wanted it for 18k, I got him down to 13.5k.
Wait a while, and the price will drop like a brick. Like I said, unless he has a dart iron eagle block, or another high end block, his is likely to split if he runs it hard, which it sounds like he did.
sell your car for 13.5k, put it in a nice acct with 5% interest, and save up for a while and BUY a termi. Don't finance it, buy it outright. Insurance will be FAR cheaper if you buy it with cash than if you were to finance it, even on a 3yr loan.
The reason for this is the bank pretty much will dictate what level coverage you have to have, even if it's more than you would ever need. so if you go by them, not only do you have a car payment, but a huge insurance bill too.
I think that's the best idea.

or just wait to see how the new TF heads turn out and ur 2v GT will be able to compete with 02-04 cobras, this is coming from a person that owns an 02 GT and a 03 Cobra, honestly ppl think im nuts but i still like the GT more then the Cobra, i really am not a s/c guy, i like NA, and these new heads will make serious power and then u can add ur s/c and easily hit low 11's high 10's.

Yeah, STOCK maybe.
out of how many were produced, there are how many 10 second termi's? They're a dime a dozen now.
