351s are too heavy. Heavy = handles like ****.

new cars are new problems. bottom line. how about you make your fox unique? take the money u get for the ranger and dump it into the body. make it light, fiberglass hatch, hood, do some sideexhaust, make it stand out man if thats what you want. if you want a new look, a new car than make that car new you wanna make it cool go ahead get flippy radio screens, cool seats, i hate that crap ive had no headunit for 2 years. that stuff isnt important. i know girls that think wiper lights are cool, my girl has a contour zx2 5 speed with an enormous tin can muffler. dude what they think doesnt count. freshen up your interior, throw some neons on the interior, chicks dig cool lighty stuff especially inside the car (where it matters the most). juss a thought.

i was in the same situation as you. i had a 93 gt for about 4 years and i was just bored with it. (didnt know much about mods then) so i sold it and got a 99 cobra, the car was awesome and i had that for about 2 years but i missed my fox so bad i couldnt stand it. foxbodys just have attitude. if you truly love mustangs dont sell it you WILL regret it. needless to say cobra is gone 89 NoTcH is here.

dude if i did half the stuff you said to do, it would ruin my car, and i like my car the way it is, it look pretty much factory with the front bumper and the whole interior is all factory which is kool, i like the whole facotry thing because its practiclly a show car now, so thats y i couldnt push myself to do half the crap you told me to do, and also i forgot the girl factor in a earlier post

if i did anything i would just build a 347 stroker that put 400 to the wheels and that would only cost 3500, but i kinda want to keep the car original so that in 10-15 years there would be a really good resale value, so thats y i dont wanna go crazy with anything

Well no one is going to know the difference between a 347 and a 302, they're the same block head etc. just don't tell the person that its a stroked motor if your going to sell it...

the only reason i am not moding my car now is for reliability cause im in school. But why should resale matter [sm=smiley25.gif]i dont have my fox only to sell it yaers later! im going to mod the **** out of it. not even pass it down to the kids. the only way they'll get it is after i die and i will it to them. Dude the fox is an ICON and btw if you want to attract girls get a small dog, they go crazy over that ****.
