how much $ do i need?
im looking around, and im thinking about buying a beat up fox body maybe even just a roller depends on what i can find...
and i want to just work on it till the summer i want to do all the work myself...
how much money would i need in order to have a 600rwhp, and around 600 rwtq, this is gona be a car just for the track...
i just want to know about how much will i need to spend just on performance parts, not counting paint interrior and all that..
please let me know so i will decide if this is worth it for me, or even if i can afford it at this time...
because im going to fix my 95 gt and sell it so i will have some money to play with..

RE: how much $ do i need?
600hp i'm not sure, probobly a crap load. My first 93 hatch with a hair over 400rwhp including the price of the car, motor and trans, work, suspension, TIRES, and much more i added up about 10k. But i was buying most stuff directly through vendors available to the ford dealer i worked at back then. You can always get a cheap shell, buy a used motor, get some used performance parts. Piece it all together yourself, and still spend a crap load to get 600hp. Good luck.

wow thats alot of money...
but i think im really pushing it with the 600rwhp lol
but it sure does sound cool..
but im thinking 500rwhp if im going to be spending the much already
would i be able to do it spending under 10 grand, including the shell..

That much hp will need a **** load of supporting mods. Transmission,axles,rear end,heavy suspension and the list goes on and on. Your best bet is to buy a fox that has already been built. You will come out cheaper in the long run.

RE: how much $ do i need?
pricey, 15k...
i wanted to be under 10k i was thinking like 7-8k maybe...
what if i just use my 95 gt, fix the body and throw a twin turbo on it and leaving everything else the way it is...
how much should that run me?
