ok, this may sound like a stupid question, and i dont plan on doing it, this is just out of curiousity.

ok well, apparently many people that own 3rd gen camaros will take red testors spray paint (model paint) and spray over the yellow on the inside of the tail lights, so all they have is white and red. well i was thinking, can you take the same concept but with smoked paint and make smoked tail lights?

and plus, i see this car as more of an experimental car, because the first thing im doing as soon as i get out of college and pay off my student loans is buy or put a down payment on a nice fox stang.

But you already have a nice fox stang. Just keep it and add a turbo or a 351W.

id do a 347, if you were to do a 351 then stroke it to a 408, but that would be too heavy

You sound exactly like me. lol. I hate some of the appearance things with my stang, so I'm doing those, but as far as going ***** to the wall and modding the engine, I'm kinda hesitant because in the end, I may not find someone to buy a modded v6, and trading it in will kill me financially because they wouldn't honor the mods.

Plus, I'm saving for a newer GT one day. Hopefully ford will do something awesome after the 05+ models get tiresome. Or, if that new mach/bullitt is sexy, i might have to get one of those.

Im not too sure what Im gona do with my Stang in the future either. Once its paid off, I may trade it in on a GT or something.

I wanted to get a GT but the insurance was too much right now for me.

I plan on keepin my stang forever, actually this summer I am looking at buying a ranger or something wheel drive for the winters and those days I just have the need to go off roading. So I plan to keep my stang mod the hell out of it, buy a second vehicle, and buy a crotch rocket for that massive need to release some stupidity
