The reason I dont get a GT or drop in a 4.6 is because

1- For me to get a GT id have to sell this car. This car has been through hell and back so I wouldnt get much out of it plus I dont have the lump sum lying around that it would take to do those mods. Also this title is on a loan with a bank for the next 3 years.

2- high 12s in a 99 3.8 isnt that far off. Everyone over at v6power.com who has put the N4S supercharger on theirs has hit mid 13s. With slicks and if I covert it to a 4.2 instead of the 3.8 its very possible.

So unless you are going to sell me a GT that is reliable enough to drive me 100 miles everyday back and forth to work for $9000 and pay the insurance. Or unless you happen to have another 4.6 lying around that you will swap in for a total cost of $1000 ..id appriciate it if you didnt talk down to me.
Trust me yes I would love a big ass V8 rumbling towards victory but the fact is I bought this car when I didnt know much about racing and its not practical for me to get another one.

I think my whistling 99 GT can run just about any new Z06 out there.

To my man with the V6 Mustang Monthly did a story on a 99 that had 410hp to the ground. So go for it; just dont change the body cause then you will lose that sleeper look and I will think your a loser trying to be a big dog.
Good Luck

The only problem I see is your loan did you do financing thru a bank or Ford Credit either way you can get out of any finance or a lease w/o fucking up ur credit history.

Because usually when you buy there cars new and set up a fiancing they do it thru Ford Credit anyways that the way my shit is set up.

The story in MMFF was about pete I believe either pete or dan both of which are members of v6power.com. I have lots of people helping me out with the info for building my car up but I get no love from domestics because im a v6 and no love from imports.

My cars body is staying stock except for maybe a new hood and rims but thats only after im hitting 13s.

The way I look at it is high 12s is high 12s no matter what engine you use.

No the cars title was used as credit for a loan to get money to get my mother and little sisters out of a situation (some of you know what im talking about). I paid 14k cash for the car so there arent any payments or anything.
