Im betting the car is totaled. I hit a deer at 50mph, have to replace the light, hood, fender and grill. Body shop quoted at $2100 to bring her back perfect. Heres my thread on it with pics. https://mustangforums.com/forum/memb...oint-buck.html

yea...if you want a 4v with just as much potential as a 2v on the stock bottom end


03/04 cobra or bust...if its outta your price range, get a nice gt and save some cash, supercharge it later if you want more power

That doesn't make any sense to me. The 4v has more potential than the 2v, there's no doubt about that. If you're gonna go and supercharge the GT and make a lot of power (using an aftermarket bottom end) then why not have a 4v with an aftermarket bottom end?

i wouldnt consider sub 450rwhp a lot of power

mach and gt will both be limited right about 400-450, if you got the cash to build a bottom end AND supercharge the car to have more than that, why not go with a cobra to begin with??

makes no sense to me why anyone would spend the extra coin on a mach when its limited to the same amount of power that a gt is *stock bottom end*...and if they plan to build the bottom end, why not buy a cobra to begin with and save money over building and supercharging the mach

Sorry about the car.

If you're over 25 years old think about Grundy insurance. My cars insured at 40k, if something major happens to it, they cut me a check for $40k. I don't have a mileage limit and it only costs me $550 up front every year. (if you were to break it down, that's like 46$ a month.)

When we get our new truck, it's getting it to.
