It's bad enough, but even worse when you put all that work into something to have it ruined by some idiot that wasn't paying any attention. It wouldn't be as bad if it was my fault because at least I'd only blame myself

Are you going to get another mustang to build? Please tell me so!

If I do get another one it won't be another SN95 model considering how much nicer the 05+ models are, not even counting the enormous developing aftermarket for the 3V 4.6L engine. The 2V modular is a joke for building up price/performance wise when compared to the 3V or 4V models, or the older windsor based engines.

It'd either be a newer one, or an older Fox body that I'll build up a 408 Windsor, make all I can naturally aspirated and spray on top of that if it isn't enough at the track.

I really liked the sn95 body style, but would only get a 94-95 with a 5.0 and 5 speed.

I really like the 03-04 cobras too, but most have been well abused.

The 05+ are really nice, and with a few bolt ons you have a quick car...

But the fox bodies are still probably my favorite, but to get a real nice low milage 5.0 its going to cost you 10 grand.

That's why you get an old beat up fox body and build it up with a stroked windsor. 5.0 block was too weak for big power levels anyway.

Yeah, after 400 or so hp the stock 5.0 blocks are questionable, and aftermarket blocks arent cheap.

If you were wanting a project car, you can find a 4cyl roller thats in decent shape for a couple hundred bucks, then pick up a 351w, c4, and 8.8 (or 9") at one of the pick n pulls, then build everything to your standards.

I think we should start a club of cac turbo rangers!!!!

I don't have any, but my nosey ass neighbor does lol. They towed it off two days after it happened I didn't have time to take any, didn't really want to.

Sometimes you have to look at it optimistically maybe this was divine intervention, an opportunity for me to get something better
