Oh hell yea. I bought the car used with 16 thousand miles on the odom. for $17.5 two year ago. The stage 3 kit is4 large. The intercooler was fairly pricey, and the exhaust was almost a grand when you ad up the bits and pieces. The clutch was a grand. Then figure in the price of suspensions mods, wheels, slicks, cool *** led tail lights
etc. and you have about 26 total. Anybody that ties up 26 grand in mods on a SRT-4 ougta be slapped in the head and told they coulda had a V8, just like in the comercials.

Took my son to his guitar lesson last night and theres these young dudes hanging out in the parking lot in front of the store in a couple of Mustangs. When I get out.A few of the guys says nice car or sweet SRT-4 or whatever. I give them a nodand go about my business.Well after talking to themy sonsguitar teacher, I leave the store and one of the dudes shouts, Hey my buddy says your4 bangerain't sh*t and he would smoke you. Is that rightI reply and this one kid standing next to a S197 V6startsblabbing about cold air intakes and chips and no replacement for displacement.[sm=icon_blah.gif]I ask him how much $ he wants to race for and he gets a look on his face like he just pooped his pants. I smile at the kid and say I'm just F-king with ya' lets go. He wanted to go from a 40 MPH roll of course. I wont get into how many lenths I pulled. But I pulled back into the parking lot and the group of guys ask where there buddy was? I laughed and said I dont know but He probably still a half mile down the road. He finally pulls into the parking lot and says I missed second or I would have had you.
lol. I said you must have missed 3rd, 4th, and 5th also. His boys try to talk us to going again (this time they wanted to ride with him)but he wasn't having any of that. It's funny just how delusional some guys are about their cars.

I seriously used to miss second at least once a day. lol I wasn't used to driving a car without a short shifter and I would miss and grind so many gears... lol Got the short shifter taken care of though. lol

I guess u read it wrong.. they started at 40mph... so he would have been in second already. thats why everyone was laughing, he "Missed Second". Good kill, nothing like shuting someone up. I hate when people have the nerve to say(ur car is slow.. yadda yadda lol)

Did I make a reference to BB's OP? No... I was saying that I used to miss 2nd when I first got my car. I was typing that in response to Dwisforme05's post. I wasn't aware that I needed to explain what my every post meant to every person on this site... Did you catch the sarcasm this time?
Who is to say that the V6 guy was in second? He could have been in third, fourth, orfifth. Not sure why he would have been in any of those gears to start a 40mph rollrace but it is entirely possible.
