This is all very relative. For many of us, $10k is a significant amount of our funds. Cars can be your hobby without putting that much into a car... not all of us want 700+hp. I'm sure that's why many of us got DSMs... cheap speed.
Good luck with the car Cher, I hope you accomplish what you're shooting for with it.  |

Cher I am glad you kept it, however I don't want to hear the word sell out of your mouth for a long long time. If you wanted to sell it you would have, the price was too good, there is no way in hell you are going to get more money for that car the way it sits. So yeah make more power, fix what needs to be fixed, when it breaks fix it, don't bitch about it. A car that was made to make 200hp that is now making three times that and more is going to have drivetrain issues and such. Just deal with it and suck it up. Nash and I were out tonight and Jake and some of the TCstangs group were giving your car props, so your work hasn't gone un-noticed.
So you could have made a mistake or you could made a good decision, its all what you make of it. Get some more fuel and make more power, and don't bitch if doesn't make 700whp. Fuck the car has made good power the way it is, just get some good tires and run low 10s thats all there is too it.
Cher you know we are all behind you, but whenver the car pisses you off and you want to sell it. Well shit, it thats the case you will be wanting to sell it the whole time you have it. Its a known fact, DSM's break, when they are running good they put a huge smile on your face and make you say, HOLY SHIT, but when they give you problems a lot of us say FUCK IT, it isn't worth it. Like I said its all what you make of it.

Haha, that's probably not very far off from what he wants. He loves the dish. |
