Default Need Advice........

Well i will be coming into a little bit of money soon and was just wondering what you guys think i should do.

Currently i drive a 2003 Mustang GT with a little bit of giggle gas and a little over 300rwhp. but of course i got a horsepower bug and want to go faster. so what should i do? should i go ahead and invest on a blower for my 03 GT and make 400+rwhp with all the supporting mods to make it nice.

OR should i find myself a sweet rolling chassis that someone has built with a good suspension already on it and nice wheels,paint and of course a cage. just in need of a engine/tranny combo. i like the rolling chassis idea bu i dont know if i want to do all the work and wait to get the job completely done. now if i do find a ncie rolling chassis i will deffinatly do a pushrod motor along the lines of a 302-351ci. then some sort of power adder in the form of a turbo or blower.

BTW: if anyone knows of a 88-93 GT coupe, or a SN95 body style preferrably 94-95 Cobra rolling chassis please let me know. prefer a fresh paint, good suspension, and a set of weld or prostar wheels already on it. or it dont even have to be a rolling chassis. paint,suspension and wheels is what im really looking for. i want the engine to be done by myself.

so what should i do???????

Unless there is a particular reason you don't want to tear into the 03, get the blower.

the problem is finding a coupe in the GT body style that is what i want. i want a drag race suspension already under it and some decent wheels. paint dont have to be new, just as long as it doesn't look like a christmas tree.

i cant remember who had a nice rolling chassis not too long ago, but i know Scott bought is tranny when he tore down the car.

If you but a rolling chassis you will run through your cash faster then a crack head, stick to the 03, out some turbos on it.
