With a little more power and better suspension, I'll be able to do quite a few things very well.

How fast is your wallet?

There's always someone faster, and I am content.








For now.

I'd like to be able to do a VQ35 swap. Just the swap alone will get me into the high 12s. That's good enough for me... If I wanted anything faster I'd get another car lol

I drive a foxbody mustang. I really dont think there is a car that has more potential than this one to be honest. Everything is made for the car, and you can almostbuild a brand new foxbody mustang with no OEM parts.

If you're talking drag racing, I think it goes without saying that it will be hard to beat by anything. If you're talking road racing, all you have to do is make a call to PAS for the full line of Griggs SLA front and TA/PHB solid rear. The only thing that sucks about it is the aerodynamics suck. Other than that, there's nothing that you really cant do with it.

I could easily spend $4k on a turbo system that will make 550whp on pump gas and beat 90% of supercars out there in a straight line until you get into the 150+mph range.

[QUOTE=QwanSanchez;3398621]So after viewing the M6 vs Z06 thread the Brian posted, it gotme thinking will my car ever be able to do something like that? How much potential does car have, will it ever be able to compete with cars such as the Z06 with out being a completly gutted race car?
QUOTE]

I would like to get into the high 11's/12.0 on 93 octane and mid 11@~125mph on 100octane. I want to get there but refuse to do weight reductions other than not having the spare tire installed. My current EPL tune runs 24psi but quickly tapers to 20 by 5500rpm to redline.. due to being duno tuned in the heat of summer. If I ever get the new aquamist kit installed I'll run 24psi tapering to 23. The problem with modding a car is so many things are related you end up spending a small fortune in the end. I would love to have a new Z06 no matter how fast my car gets.
