    lol, my car? you guys making me second guess my buy lol. Should I of waiting for a better one to come around? I like the car, but now knowing its not the svt trans(gona have to look into the differences when I get home) it makes me not want to get on it much anymore(though I still did).

    This car at 120mph, is SOOOO much smoother then my foxbodys ever were at that speed.

    Put about 130 miles on it today, ran great.

    i wouldnt go that fast with studless snow tires in the rear. svt trans has no difference. only difference is this car has a non-svt left rear strut/spring assy.

    The only thing really wrong with this car is the aesthetics.

    I seconded guessed my buy. The kid before me broke a bunch of interior pieces, cut the mufflers off, broken hanger, rear Trans mount wasnt attached, secondaries werent hooked up, battery relocation kit was junkkkkkkk car would barely start, there is more I just try to forget... All 100 percent now. Well my GF backed into it 3 days ago , dented my hood busted my grill and scrached my bumper.

    The selling point for me was the nice ass body, Quaife diff, HMS Trans...

    No, I'm def happy with it. I sold my mustangs when our first kid was born, so its nice to have something like this, that I can still put in a carseat if i have to(well, two).

    It is running much better, going to get the other 02 sensor tomorow, and replace both the upstreams I hope by this weekend. I have read about doing these on here, both going from under and from above. I think I will try above and see how that goes, maybe clean the uim and tb and what not while I'm back there, plugs too maybe wires, oil/filter. Though I will prolly wait on the uim/tb until next go around, and just get it running right for now.

I'll whip you up a 4 gauge powertrain to battery ground, and you'll have your big-3 ready to go.
    I found that there was 4 gauge lines in this car, so I took them out( 'cause I bought new ones lol), and was thinking about useing the old ones for the big 3. Think the ground is long enough, if not I will just loom it with black. Do need some 4gauge ends though.
