It's clear to me, though, that this guy's heart is from the Yay Area.

im not the one criticizing a shops work, you are

I can take care of myself, I won't rely on our politicians for that because I know I cant.

They're not protecting "us", they're protecting themselves.

that doesn't mean it has a giant enthusiast community like the mustang has. Just because people on Ethiopia are driving old W123's with doors made out of wooden crates, doesn't make them an enthusiast. To most people the W123 is just an out of date benz usually found in 3rd world nations now.

I call malarkey, this whole thing was rigged. Rigged I tell you!

I can find 5.0 parts as far south as australia

lets see your custom built turbo kits

electric vehicles which are charged off of power plants isn't exactly "clean" transportation. Let alone the process of manufacturing those batteries. Wasn't it said years ago that a prius actually does more environmental damage by the time the tires hit the ground than a hummer or land rover, just because of how its…

Its a similar shortblock, 2v's have lower compression than 4v's. Except the 03-04 cobra, which has lower compression than all.

If we're going to be making any headway in improving society in any major way shape or form, I still don't think hybrids or electric cars are the answer. Even if these loans are a "drop in the bucket", which in a sense I agree because we're pissing way more money away in stupider areas than this, I'm sure we have…

so we're up from a tune only to a tune with a few simple mods? Thats a different thing all together.

Just throwing this out there, we probably shouldn't even be loaning money when we're what, 19 trillion dollars in debt? We have bigger issues in this nation than helping some small company come out with an electric car.

I think his hp/tq are pretty close. On his old setup with IIRC the stock engine it was 380/370 I think. Now I think its 400/400. This car has untapped potential, you could turn the boost up for sure. This was his DD so I know he just kept it mild and safe.

You were saying?

You're not going to be picking up 30rwhp with a tune, at least not a canned tune. A dyno tune putting your car on the living edge, maybe.

its a 95 grand marquis for one, a 91 was a totally different body style and engine and transmission. Two this turbo setup was built by a shop that builds R35 GT-R's as a "usual project". It also has forged internals and a worked trans. You can't duplicate this setup for the price he's selling it for. $1500 will get…

As substitution for the people who don't want to sink themselves into the capitalist funded luxury of a 90's ford product, I provide an alternative that is more fitting.

you're thinking of LT1 Optispark systems

The car runs 12.7-12.8's in the 1/4 mile. A new 5.0 with a good driver is good for 12.8's and a new camaro in the same light is good for 13.2's. Since most people who own those cars can't drive for shit, and the auto is more consistent, I would bet 8 out of 10 you'll run them down every time.
