agreed on the S/C. I would not own a N/A 4.6l 2v after having one S/C.

yeah get some pics up and that would help. Personally I would like looks over power first, then move on from there. My stang is a crapper but is really fast for my age considering i paid for it all, but all the problems i have with it make me mad and is the reason im selling it.

To me, I love when a car pulls up to the line and the announcer says that 25k has been put into the car, but it is butt ugly, why? because that means that money is all under the hood. I would rather have a 10 sec rust bucket (okay not really rust bucket) than a 13.5 sec show piece, but that is me.

Edit: Cams FTW. lol.

I'd rather have a 300hp beauty, than a 500hp beast. I like showing off my cars good looks...Cruising around town with buddies...It's nice.
Speed is awesome...But when the cars not moving fast, it's ugly!

Yeah I'd say get a paint job then. If I recall, you're about my age, like 19 or so?? With that, it's a good idea to go looks. Cause all that power would just get me into trouble, and at my age I can't afford it. I wouldn't get a brilliant paint job though, because I take this car is probably a DD, and I would never pay over $500 for a DD paint job (considering you do it all yourself or have an aquintence do it for cheap), for there are big chances something will happen to it. Hah, I remember one time in the college parking lot I walk out to my car and see a tiny black scrape on my bumper and just flipped out, because my car has been scraped before and I just hate it when I see another imperfection, but that's what happens when you take a car to public places where morons dwell.
