what do you guys think. im thinking ill sell the stang and get a blackwood? any opinions? im just sick of the maintenance. its not even that fast, and the money pit goes and goes

 

as long as you dont plan on going fast anymore, then the blackwood would be ok...but you may be like many of those who sell their car and then regret it instantly...just make sure you think this through

 

Sometimes its good to get a fast car and make it a bit faster. Like a Cobra with a supercharger+ 6lbs of boost then a Gt with 10lbs of boost to get the same hp #s. How long do you plan on keeping the Blackwood? Being a former SVO owner it will be hard to find parts for that truck in the future.

 

I'd never sell my pony!

 

i dont want to mod the new car haha. wow. i doubt ill go through with it, i was just depressed thinking about how much i have dragged my *** getting this project finished.

ill probably finish the stang and get a blackood too. ill sell the f150 and the ranger

 

get that thing running. if you don't what else will you do with your free time.....

 

good point.

 

just do in your own time. you'll miss it if it's gone. besides when your done with all this you'll add somethin else

 

Dom I was there with my SVO its was fast but when it would break I would hate it because I had to fix it. It was a love hate realationship. I miss the originality as far as looks and it having a 4banger turbo and I really really miss my Blow off valve. Now I love the V8 sound and in the future the whine of a Blower. I think part of your problem is that you are always on the drag strip with drag radials and if you dont do a complete once over with new parts you are always going to have parts breaking. My suggestion is to wait until you get older and have more income. Enjoy life and your beautiful girlfriend,go out and have fun together traveling dont put all your $$$ on the stang or other cars.

 

well i have just done a complete once over. pretty much, and i HAVE to drive a bad *** machine, so ill probably just finish up the last bit of this stang, enjoy it, and see what happens.

 

you'll love until it breaks like venom said. when you get it runnin i might have to come up there and see it run

 

:jerk: =free time...lol just joking there dom

 

i love it. i figure this, it cant get much worse than a completely blown motor, even if the trans goes. it isnt that bad and bolting on a trans is easier than a bottom end swap. ill hang in there

 

im definetly keeping my stang. i just drove a 500 rwhp 03 cobra, i fell back in love. its been so long since i drove my car i forgot the feeling. whew. granted, it was a heavy, irs, convertible, stickshift cobra, but none the less, it was sweet. hell ill probably do my heads and get custom cams, p51 intake and more boost over the winter

 

good cus thats about how much hp youll have right...god i would kill for your stang...finished of course

 

You are kinda in the same boat as me, not knowing what to do with your car. Im at such a delima, my car has 75000 miles on it, and I know the usual cascade of events that follows with a supercharger, ive seen it too many times. First you pay for the blower, thats 4000, then the bottom end fails, that 3500, then the clutch goes, thats another 500, then the rear end takes a dump, say bye bye to another 1500. Im just not sure I want a blown GT with 450 rwhp with 100k miles on it. So, I think im going to wait until the new cobra comes out, and sell my car and scoop up a used 03 cobra. I mean, come on, with exhaust and a k&N, you got the same 450 rwhp. I love my gt, but im tired of buying stuff that comes stock on an 03. LOL, its just funny to me. But man, I could never go without a stang in the garage. That would drive me nuts. Not being able to at any time, go outside, and start her up...that would be the worst thing ever. Keep the car dom, you have way too much time and money in it now, and Im glad you got to ride in that cobra. Thats what it took for me to realize I wanted a stang instead of a honda...

 

those prices you gave are such an underestimate

 

I know, thats the big problem in it...those dont include the little stuff, the tunes, the unexpected breakages...its just, I dont think I feel like dealin with it.

 

Ill be more then happy to buy some parts off of you if you do sell it. :hello:

 

Im sure he could part that car and get real close to what he'd be given for it by a private sale.

 

i could. it would be a lot of work. probably more work than fixing what breaks from the power

and matt, your a son of a biitch

 

What happened?
:toothy1:

 

Dont know, :angel13: whats up
