Re: Lawlers New Ride - jackslammer - 10-24-2011
Mustangs have tons of power and the old 5.0 and the fourth and fifth gen GTs are the only ones I've ever driven and I found their weight, handling, transmission, etc. so atrocious it felt like I was steering a bus. Some people prefer to sacrifice efficiency for a shitload of undistributed weight and power so they can beat people off the line at a stop light, to each their own.
For that price range I'd recommend something with a Nissan VG engine as those last forever and are cheap and easy to maintain. Abe and Ethax are the car guys here, although Abe has an American car bias.

Driving 30-50k miles in 7-8 months is ridiculous. Even for a delivery vehicle. Where the hell do you deliver to? China?

I drive any where from 2000-4000miles a month. It is on the high end of the estimation so that I can prepare accordingly

I put on about 30k in the last few months I did at Domino's way back when.
Re: Lawlers New Ride - Firecrest - 10-25-2011
Geeze. How is that even worthwhile? Between gas, maint and the devaluing of your car, I don't even see how that's very profitable.
My first job was Little Ceasars at 14. I remember being crazy envious of the delivery guys because I could always see them bring back scads of cash. I bet I netted more than they did in the end though. I didn't even have to pay for gas getting to/from work. I rode my damn bike.

I had one, after redoing the entire interior, a built 331 stroker, and a whole shit load of small things that you dont factor in like replacing all of the mounts, suspension mounts, shocks/struts, troque boxes, it adds up quick. $9k later I still had a piece of shit.
Dont listen to your friends.

I've never understood why anyone liked that body style on the Mustang. I thought they were god aweful.
Re: Lawlers New Ride - abecx - 10-25-2011
also, the fox bodies are fucking slow, they have like 180rwhp unless they've been rebuild, stock heads and intake you still wont have more than 220.
