ahh.... in a culture like ours, which is given to material comforts, and addicted to forms of housepower that offer immediate gratification, it is surprising that we're able to make it through a day lol w/o going insane.

Dteal asked the same question the other day. The answer is that i dont want a payment for anything. This all will be done with cash and i dont want to put anything on a loan. So im going to have about what it would cost me to buy a terminator in my car and it will handle like a terminator and will probably be just as fast as a terminator will be eventually in an overall lighter car since it will be a full tubular suspension car in the front and stuff. Oh, and hopefully i will be getting a termie interior here soon from a friend. Oh, and the transmission will actually be safe for 700lb ft torque so i dont have to worry about breaking it with the planned amount of power. So Im really just starting on this project and not tracking the amount of money it takes because that will just be depressing in the end. lol

Probably late july. i have off work the week before my birthday in hopes to go to mustang week...but thats probably not gonna happen. But my goal is to have the suspension and the T56 swap done because this stock stuff wont handle the drag strip im afraid. Im definitely hoping that it will be at least once or twice this summer. And if i dont, i'll at least come out and probably make a run or two and take it easy and watch all you guys blow my times out of the water.

Yea, well when those mods add like 100+hp Mustang3, its somewhat acceptable to spend that much money for a decent increase in power. Now to spend $3000 on bolt ons and get 50rwhp is retarded, but to spend $3000 on a whipple and supporting mods and get like 100rwhp or more is acceptable.
