Test drive tonight........:->

Looks nice man, hope you like it!

Unless I read the thread wrong the Mustang Dyno'd 495/460 on a consvative A/F.

I think that is good enough to beat 95% of the DSM's on theis board if it hooks.

495 at the wheels? Scratch the 95% and make it 99%.

That was the modded coupe that he posted earlier. This is stock Cobra vert.

Not as long as we are behind a keyboard, damn it!
I second that because my cyber space 2000HP ,13b turbo, rotary powered DSM, GTR with forged pistons will take any one on.

How was the drive? What did you think?

Well my expectations were really high cause the owner said it was in "perfect" condition, and "fast as hell".

Turned out neither was true.

The car had about 6 -10 good size scuffs here and there, <totaly NOT "perfect">.

The car did feel really tight, with only 7500 miles, and even I really couldn't get on it much with the owner riding with me, it only really seemed about as fast as my old stock 1G!

Anyway I walked away fairly unimpressed as a whole.

For $30K going to look into some other options, if it takes me a year to find something I'm really in LOVE with, so be it!

Thinking about maybe a C5-Z06, an Evo, a Grand National, a Supra or even a 3s?

Or Sti?

<Blonde, Brunette, Redhead,it's ALL good......:->

Any Suggestions? Looking for power and reliability! If there is such a thing together?

[scheides]

Get an evo & throw $5k in mods at it, you'll be pretty happy!

Since you're shopping around, why don't you check out an NSX or even a used 911 in your budget? You might be surprised...

Either the 03 cobra was bunk as hell or you didn't realize how quick they are. They are good 105-109 mph cars stock easily and with pulley and exhaust 119mph cars. Way quicker than a stock 1g.

You know this may sound anal, but the only thing thats really keeping me from just buying an Evo is their <IMHO> boxey, boaring, eruo looking, flat backends, reminds me too much of my wife's Mirage.

But that's just me.....

The front side and rest of that car I LOVE!

I'm thinking for $30k with what you're looking for the STi is the best option. They're fast, AWD, pretty reliable and most importantly come with a warranty. You can drive one in the winter without really worrying about it and of course have fun with it in the summer. Plus the uneven headers make it sound manly as all hell with a nice exhaust.

If you hear about chipping it though.... don't get your hopes up... the dealerships know when you flash the ECU.

An Evo would be nice too... they're pretty close as far as performance I'm assuming. I think the STi might be a little bit cheaper though.
