Guest JCroz91 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) ill have $17,000 in spring. i have 2 options. buy a 03/04 mach and do the eaton swap for around $17k and that would put me around 440rwhp. id eventually want more so id prob end up having to build it. or. buy an 03/04 GT, Build it with forged internals, and boost it. (not sure how much it cost to build a GT with forged internals...?) what do you think? EDIT:: I AM GETTING A CAR IN SPRING. 100% NO QUESTIONS ASKED I AM GETTING A CAR. :bangbang::bangbang::bangbang: Edited October 14, 2009 by JCroz91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JCroz91 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 03 cobra?? i wish... insurance is too high. im on an sr22 bond cause of my points. i pay $1700 a year now for liability on the sixxer quoted $328 a month on a gt. sr22 bond falls off in 2012 which will drop my rates a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mseebs Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 id vote towards a boosted gt. why just mustangs? you can get a gto well under 17k these days and you could build it with the remaining money to whup some ass. and itd be a little different then the usual mustangs everywhere.

Bam Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 i dunno how long it'll last personally but i know derek had a shit ton of runs at track days and I'm sure he had fun w/ it on the daily. Seemed to be fine and I think it made 44x/44x to the wheels. +1 on the 99/01 Cobra, Swap a blower on it from an 03/04 car and do all the other support mods and I'm sure you would be happy. Are you wanting 500hp or 500rwhp, because it is different and I'm not sure if you'd be unhappy w/ 500 crank hp, esp coming from 254/280tq....just saying. You can get a decently clean 99/01 cobra for under $10k, spend another $3-$4k on eaton swap, full exhaust, tuning, and some suspension/fuel stuff and still hve a few grand in the bank?

DTM Brian Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 With these kind of insurance rates maybe you consider finding an older mustang and modify it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JCroz91 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 i like the 99-04's. not looking for a fox. lol im pretty narrow minded. ha are 01 cobras forged internals stock like a 03/04?? and 500rwhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKilbourne Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Too much its not just building a block...you have so much more in everything else you need to have these cars hold up.But ill sell you my car already built and boosted Built transmission, built motor, blower kit, rear-end, and what else? Doesn't matter what you drive, it takes money to make it fast. For $17,000 you can find a decent GT and have a built motor, rear-end, and a blower, but maybe not the tranny.

DTM Brian Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 doesnt seem bad... i just dont know how much insurance would be on that just cause it has cobra in the name Only other option I see here is to do a motor swap with your car which will keep your insurance a bit cheaper. Sounds like you need to get a Chevette and put an LS1 in it to keep your rates cheap. Or you could do a focus with the 03/04 swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 If you'd be interested in a bone stock 99 with low miles I have a buddy who'd probably sell his. The car is mint and I believe he has a procharger for it that he's never installed. The car is red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
