lol well they bring up a good point. and to be honest it still wouldnt matter. Its a smarter choice on my behalf not to get a 5.0 for the winter.. it would be too dangerous and the last thing i would ever want is to crash another 5.0.. especially one that i pay 5000 for..

In all honestly, if you want a good winter car that's good on gas, get a Subabaru.

Cool

have you seen that v-6 you're talkin' about? how does a 2000 model year car in ontario have 156k on it and no rust?

and who has red calibers? how do you have red calipers and not know how to spell that.

also I think you should argue that you would have just as much trouble with that v-6 in the snow as you would a 5.0

get a pos rustyazz truck AND and 5.0- if you really want a 5.0 you can find somewhere to park it for the winter.

**you're on the metric odometer. but still that's like 100k mi in ten years where it snows.

get a early 90's 4x4 ford ranger for a DD and build up a 5.0 for the summer/drag car.

Buy an exploder with the gt40 set up in it... drive it till spring, get a 5.0... swap the exploder motor into that. Bam you've got a decent set up for cheap.
