I learned my expensive lesson modding my previous Subaru WRX STI and lost $17K on the car when selling it. So, this time, I let the prior owner spend $25K modding this Mustang, and I "only" spent another $5K of my own on it. Now, the mods cost more than the car! See the mods in my sig. There are more mods than shown, but I ran out of room in my sig.I hope to keep it for another 9-10 years to get my money's worth out of it, before I retire and get the next fun modded car. It doesn't make economic sense, but it's a lot of fun!

That is the way to do it. I was looking at modified 03 Cobra's for a while but couldnt find it exactly how I wanted or I thought the car was abused and about to break something expensive.

From the mods in your sig I think you did great.

I plan on keeping this car for a while myself and just plan to make it my own over time.

Well I will say as a long time Sox fan and New England sports fan in general that we put in plenty of time to now have our day in the sun.

my friends 03 evo 8 is like that..he's got sooooooo much money into the thing,450awd hp @15-16psi and some ungodly number like 650awd hp@30psi not sure exact numbers but he's expecting to run something like high 10s low 11s..it's kinda a bucket though because it's so damn modded,I don't even think he drives it around town anymore and just drives his truck..I don't blame him...it wants to die at idle and it's rough just sitting at the light ..but when racing and boost kicks in .....>>>>>>>>>>>& gt; [:'(][:'(][:'(]

honestly..I'd much rather have a full bolt on SC/GT with rods/pistons running 11-12psi..I don't really trust high strung boosted four bangers anymore lol...not for daily drivability or reliability at least,race the hell out of one though lol.

Well, a wise man once said, "Whatever you don't do this year, you'll be one year older when you do."
Was that Warren Miller???
