Ok well i've come to realize i miss my '04 GT alot, but on the other hand i'm really enjoying my truck. Well my dad gave an engine to build...302. Now i'm trying to pick a car to put it in and this choice is being very hard on me. I want to do an SN95 or Fox, but thats all you see running around my area. But the catch is none of them are turboed and i've got a Garrett GT35r turbo sittin in the garage, now waiting on the manifolds. My goal right now is to make around 700+ WHP with ease on maybe 20psi. With that kind of power which car would suite it better the FOX or SN95????? Or maybe even go off the wall and do something crazy like throw it in a Ford Probe? I need some help makign this choice since my roomate and dad have set a goal to help me build something insane for the area i live in that will blow peoples minds when it comes out on the street to take peoples $$.

 

SN95's are cheaper to get into. Foxes hook better on stock suspension and are lighter.

 

Suspension wont be stock, everything will be upgraded. Which ever of the two i set my mind on they are both rolling shells only so it's gonna be starting from scartch...and caging it up for the track.

 

fox for sure

 

i say sn95...

 

I say put it into a Miata. I saw one at a car show that was very tastefully done. The guy had a 302 stroked to a 331 and a blower. Did a little body work to make it look a bit meaner. The thing was awesome.

 

The Miata has already been done around here...347stoker w/ N2o, so thats out of the question. Personally I dont know how anyone else will take it but i'm honestly having small thaughts on gettin a 92 civic coupe shell....and making the Honda boys cry when they see a front-mount but slicks on the rear instead of the front!!!

 

I too am with the SN95, not cuz i have one, its just that they look so much more badass.

 

Fox.

Look alot meaner and are lighter.

 

I'm thinkin the SN95 will look pretty mean having a huge front-mount, and the velocity stack in the driverside headlight for the turbo!!!

 

although i feel foxes are not the most attractive..if your gonna make a race car outa it..fox is the way to go..they are so light and stuff

 

SN95 will become very close friends qith a Plasma cutter too lol. Weight wont be an issue with that friendship.

 

Man don't be a moron and put it in a honda. get a fox or sn95. Waste of money and time doing all that work and putting it in an ugly civic.

 

White04GT, Look at it this way...looks mean nothing with a race car! A civic weights about 2300lbs...so there wouldnt be any stipping needed on it....weld in my own engine mounts, cage and alot of other BS but in the end it would be the nastiest civic around that no one will want to mess with seeing a huge slick on the back and a large intercooler in the front...yea it would be pretty harsh!

 

Blah it would still be a civic, why not keep it a domestic...

 

Na, It would have a real powerplant instead of a ricer bruning oven! V8 powered civic!!! Just like my buddies 383 stroker RX7!!! It turns heads and people wont mess with it and thats what im lookin for.

 

w.e. it's your time and money not mine.

 

uhhh... nobody has injected this little bit of logic so I will...

if that's a stock siamese 5.0 block and you're fixin'a drop 700 ponies through it... you should probably start by buying another block to replace that one when it crumbles into 4 large pieces. siamese 5.0's start breaking in HALF after 550rwhp or so. 700 would frag the snot out of it with even a little taunting.

Get a dart block and then build the 700hp beast. I'd probably look for a mid 80's capri. Same as a mustang basically but a little uglier and has all kinds of up-level options from the stang.

 

..I've already considered those thaughts. As of right now..the plan is to be a bult shortblock, and I have a 351M sittin at my dads also i'm thinkin of boosting 1st and seeing how much that will handle...

 

Here you go. Its only 15 miles from me.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-...QQcmdZViewItem

 

That is a nice stang...but not what i'm lookin for. I want to build something myself to say "hey i built this car, i didnt buy it already built". Plus the paint job on that car is wayyy to nice for me lol...i'm lookin to go Flat Black for a little while untill the car is known.
