Well that was a tasty turkey day. I am thankful I dont have herpes! And scotty I left my wig at your place, Ill come pick it up tomorrow. (shit, i might have herpes now! oh noes!)

Ive got one of those thats been sitting at my girls parents house for like 10 years. I dont plan on getting rid of it or anything, I just thought I would let you all know.

Ooooooooh, I just thought of another one.......maybe one of those nifty little toyotas with the gas and electric motor thingys. That would be super.

Well Ive had alot of tranny issues with vehicles so Im thinking that I may be a little more rough than most. lol. Although I have recently calmed down with my driving, I used to pretty much race to everywhere I went and beat the shit out of whatever car Im in at the time. I can actually just cruise somewhere now without having to be an ass wipe. hehe

Wow, I guess when you said pretty cheap you meant it. lol. The white one (middle link) looks great. Makes me wish I had cash in hand. Now the only thing Im concerned about is that they all have over 100,000 miles. How long will these motors last before they need "freshened up"? Not that it would be a big deal since there are more than enough people on here to lend a hand in that process. Im gonna start putting in applications at places, I need to buy a new car before summer.

BITCHIN CAMARO! BITCHIN CAMARO! lol

Thats embarrassing, I was hoping this wouldnt make it to the news......

I have thought about that too but, the only thing is I am just a little picky (which is dumb when you're on a budget) and I like cars that are unique even if its only by a little bit. Like with the mustang, yeah everyone has one but, not everyone has a mach 1 or cobra. With the F bodys, they are all just the same although I have seen some the the little front lip and side skirts and thought they looked pretty cool.

Dont get me wrong. Of course I love my nissans and plenty of other imports for that matter. The problem that I am having is that to make a nissan fast takes a alot of money and effort and typically a motor swap. Ive got nothing against motor swaps its just that Ive always liked the idea of buying a car and making it fast without swapping or even pulling the motor out. The issue Ive run into with mine is that to make it go fast is gonna cost another $4,000 to boost properly and then another $1,000 to replace the already kinda crunchy trans. With an LSX car or any of the DOHC mustangs all you need is basic bolt ons, tires, and maybe a squirt of nitrous. The other problem is trying to find imports that I like that arent already hacked up by some dumbass. I would still like a nice b13 or b14 sentra but there arent any nice ones left.

What do you mean about the trannys? What types of issues?

What do you mean by "pretty cheap"? This is something that I wont be able to spend more than about 12-13k on. Im starting to see that being a poor kid isnt gonna help me go fast anytime soon.

I wish. Im pretty sure he wants more than what I can afford. Plus this is something that I cant afford RIGHT now, Im just trying to study up a little bit so I know what to look for and expect. Im gonna either get a second job or start pulling more hours at the shop to finance this project so it will probably still be a couple months.

Problem is, I cant afford a corvette. And like I said, Ive never been a ford guy, there was just something about it that seemed to stand out to me and Im still not sure what it was.

How fast and how much?

Well im off to the next round of turkey day dinner. So if you guys are bored please leave me a little more info and feedback to help me make a decision. I appreciate the stuff you guys have already told me. Thanks.

True, an f body would be the more affordable route i suppose. At this point in time Im not even all too picky, I LOVE my sentra but, I really need to go fast. I dunno what to do really, I have been planning on a new car purchase for a while and Im having a crazy hard time deciding. The only reason I started thinking about a mach is because there was one in the shop the other day and it really caught my attention for some wierd reason, and Im far from being a ford guy (or domestics at all really). But, I have come to realize that if I want to go fast for cheap then Im just gonna have to suck it up and buy some good ol' american muscle.

The older cobras have the n/a 5.4 dohc motor correct? How do those compare to the mach?

Now this car will be regularly driven so what gear is going to be a good balance of functionality and performance. I dont want to be pegged a redline when Im cruising down the freeway. Well, I guess I should get the car first before I worry about that. Im also having trouble finding them in OH. I did an autotrader search and came up with nothing. Do you think I can find one for around $12k?

R34 GTR. Or a Vespa.

So I just VERY recently became interested in the 03-04 Mach 1's. I've been searching up info online about them for the past couple hours and Im still left with alot of questions. First one is, how cheap can I pick one up? I've seen prices from $15-$20k but those were all out of state and with very low miles. Second question is, would an intake, exhaust, and tune be enough to hit 12's or would I probably need some nitrous also? I saw some sites saying that stock ones have gone as quick as 13.2 but most were in the mid 13 area. Third question is which is better, H pipe or X pipe and why? And the final question is, is this something worth while to pursue or should I look into something else? Thanks for any info/ insults that are to come.

Yeah but he has taken on the persona of "Rick Roll" dammit and thats the only way I can see him now.

Dammit you beat me to it! I was just getting ready to post the same thing! lol Even Rick Roll is Rick Rolling people now! hahahaha.

I miss that show. That was a good episode, I dont think I have seen that one before.

Thats the number one reason I keep my happy ass out of the ocean. And I wont live anywhere near the ocean because when they decide that they have had enough and all the sea creatures start their attack I wont be first to go.

HOLY shit. Thats funny as fuck.
