wnracing 04-18-2007 08:40 PM

Looks like a great car to me.. $20k doesn't seem too bad to me at all..

Go drive that sumbit(h!

TRMachOne 04-18-2007 08:43 PM

Seems like a pretty good price, and looks sweet in both street and strip form.

Jack The Ripper 04-18-2007 08:55 PM

call the guy up and lowball him. lol... j/k

if you can afford 20k, and want a 500+hp car, shit, cant go wrong.

just be sure to put a chin spoiler on it

jjtgiants 04-18-2007 09:13 PM

rebelyell 04-18-2007 11:03 PM

Did you watch his video's?. Better make sure he ain't tore something up. Ask him why is he selling it. Nice looking stang though. Bet there aint no warranty LOL... :salook:

3V2000GT 04-18-2007 11:33 PM

its ok, i can tell you from experience that trans will last about two minutes with that power

Icefreezen 04-18-2007 11:46 PM

Only if the motor is still healthy, the welds come with it along with the FR500's, and definitely start looking for a new tranny

stanger00 04-19-2007 01:02 AM

MattJ 04-19-2007 06:34 AM

why would it be a stupid move if i can afford it? show me a car with 5000 miles on it that is fully built with the exception of the tranny for $20000. hell, i bought my car with 13000 miles for $22k.

Dave04Mustang 04-19-2007 11:43 AM

for one thing you will need a shit load of money to insure that thing at a younger age

EDIT: nevermind i see its just a really built up GT.. GT still has to be expensive to insure if your in high school but if your doing it now then i guess more power to ya =D

Because in high school you should be worried about your education and not your car. Something on that car will break eventually, do you have the funds to fix it? It's a nice car but i guarantee it takes a lot of time and effort to maintain it that way.

Icefreezen 04-19-2007 01:43 PM

I dont think this kid ever wants to move out of mommy's and daddy's house. Thats the only way you'll afford it. I rather have my own house

how old are you? 17? 18? Say you finance this car for 20gs... What if you throw a rod? Vent the block? Warp the heads? Do you have money to fix that? Yeah the car is built, but honestly, you dont have the money for that car even if you think you can "afford it".

Like they said above, it will need a tranny to harness that power. Can you afford to drop 6 grand on a tranny with 400+ a month car payments? At 18, Im doubting you do.

first of all, id have have to sell my existing gt, which would net me 13-15k. i work 35+hours a week, enough for a $350 pay check a week. and i do understand that i would need to get a new tranny to harness that power, but until i do, i would just have it tuned to where i wouldnt have to worry about it for the time being.

i'll be 19 and in college this fall btw

Trust me your not gonna be working 35+ hours a week if your a full time student....lol

This is the shitty part no matter how much you tune it and "safe" it is s*** has a good chance of breaking especially on a built car. Heavily built motors are meant to take a beating at the track but most of the time when daily driven have issues. And for some reason something break lets take for instance warping a head on that motor you cant just put a stock one on there as a fix you need to get already expensive head then install it.

But unless you know this motor was built by God himself I wouldnt say it was built well enough to not worry about it. I've seen built motors daily driver for no apparent reason start eating oil or a bearing gets spun.

But hey it's your livelihood I could give two shakes and a s*** what you do with your money.:breakdancesmilie:

Jack The Ripper 04-19-2007 09:09 PM

Ya know, that would be a hell of a deal for a fun project car, but not a daily driver. pass for now man, work on making yer future to where you could afford to have a couple of these.

Thats what i'm talking about....by the time your done with school and using it as a daily driver it will be beat to crap. -personally $20,000 goes a long way for a house and believe me a girl asks you where you live and your 23-24 years old and you say with mom and pops your not gonna get away with well at least I have a really fast car....lol

You have a nice car now thats payed off and can say you built it yourself later in life put the money to some good use.

Geeeze.. Who needs the back seat??!?!?!?!?!?! lol:moreboost:

SpinMedia 04-20-2007 04:52 AM

Dont want to be a dick here, but from the time I have been here and known you on the forums. Your mommy and daddy bought you your car, not only that, but everytime you actually get something for your car, you come here a post a thread saying "Look at what my granny bought me for my bday or graduation and blah blah". You have been saying you are going to get fr500's since you bought the car about a year ago? and you still havn't been able to pay the grand for that, so how would you be able to pay the $20k for that and the maintaince and repairs for a real built race car?

PureStang 04-20-2007 05:31 PM

i see all your guys points and i think im going to pass.

hey spin, yes, my mom helped me pay for my car. she actually paid half. everything else from the exhaust, gears and install, shifter, matainance, new tires i pay for myself. and i said i would be buying rims soon many times but i dont want to buy something i would regret. but none the less, i appriciate your advice and am greatful. lol.

yeah dude it's only cause we are trying to help you out, we just saved you a shitload of money and headache i guarantee it.

mcmmotorsports 04-21-2007 04:18 AM

The guy selling the car is a reputable seller if it means anything.

SpinMedia 04-21-2007 09:43 AM

Why dont you just build your car?, Techinically its the same car, the car hes selling is just a 2v. You might as well keep your paid off car, and fix it up with your money and not have to worry about paying a monthly payment on it.

Codiddy 04-21-2007 01:17 PM

spin brings up a good point. theres no reason your car couldn't be faster than that one. Or you could just hold out for a 4v.
