Glad to hear that you are keeping the Mach. I think you will be happier with the Mach than you would be with the SRT-4.

.An like stated, I cannot afford a beater, but ifI were to afford a beater the trade off would be, no more mods to the mach but it will gain less mileage over time. I like mods over less mileage. Plus, worst comes to worse when it's rebuild time, I may spring for some forged internals and make a f/i project, but that won't be for a while since there is less than 3k on the odometer and I will not flirt with anyboostbefore forged internalsb/c I have heardtoo many bad storiesrecently.
I can't wait till the winter when I will have some coin to drop on this car. Then it will be time to build the beast up to a C6 killer [8D]

RE: Got in an accident
lol, C6 Z killer is gonna be hard to do naturally aspirated, and I know I won't have the money or mods on my car next year to do that. But a C6 killer alone is definitely gonna happen. Probably with some gears, wide drag radials, aluminum driveshaft, intake spacer, ram air intake,rear lowercontrol arms,dyno tune, and maybe a throttle body it should definitely make me able to eat up any stock C5 or C6 on the road and somelightly modded ones. That's what I'm looking at right now. I could have more money to spend do to me increasing my work hrs or less depending if any bad spontaneous things happen. Pics will be up within a week-2 weeks of the newly redone front end and then I will finally have my car back. I miss my muscle car sound, looks,and power [&o]. This is gonna bethe longest 2 weeks of my lifeso far.

Update: Car is back and looks as new. Raining today and I have a lot of work hrs so I will post new pics when I can (or after I get a waxing and buff job that is supposed to happen in a month). I'm happy I finally got it back. Front end is a little noisy during some road conditions but collision said that's usual with the new parts and the noises will be gone in a month or so. After that it's time to get some damn mods! Drag Radials, lca, and fl subframe connectors are at the top of my list. Maybe more mods depending on which route I want to go (f/i(which I may not be able to do anyway ifI have any financial or unexpected financial woes in the future)or n/a). I'm so happy and can't wait for tomorrow to drive my baby in nice weather hopefully
