After talking with you today I can certainly see the appeal of it. I couldn't let go of my coupe for anything and of course I reccomend you get a notch. Trucks are cool and all, just definitely not something I want to drive every day. If you need help looking for a notch lemme know, I'm always all up in the classifieds.......everywhere.

Perhaps he just needs to build a car with a new purpose. Build a car for the road course, Nic. A flat 12 second Foxbody that handles like a dream.

You know it'll be another 2700 lb notch I really miss my black one. I'll definitely come see you.

I wouldn't mind trying something different in the future. I've been wanting an LS1 powered RX7 for a few years now, but for what I want right now, I don't think there's a better platform to start from than a fox body Mustang. I want something that's disgustingly fast in a straight line that I can get back into competitive drag racing with and I've been building 5.0's since before I was old enough to drive. I've made enough mistakes and wasted enough money to figure out what works and what doesn't work with them. I also really like the fact that I can't go to a gas station, or park in a parking lot anywhere without someone coming up to me to talk about their dads/uncles old Mustang. Everywhere you go, someone has a story about someone they know that used to own a Mustang. That, to me, is a huge part of what makes owning a Mustang so cool. I've been in love with them ever since I was a little kid and saw two 5.0's at a gas station in Va Beach. It's the whole nostalgia thing. Well...that and the few times that I've ever considered another car besides a Mustang I've had at least a half dozen people protest and tell me that I just wouldn't look right driving anything that wasn't a Mustang I like other cars; I think anything that's fast is cool, but I just don't think I'd be content if I didn't own a Mustang of some sort.

Chris, Terry...tell you guys what...I won't be buying another Mustang for at least 3 - 4 weeks unless a deal comes up that I can't pass up on. If you can come up with something that's different, yet still has a huge aftermarket, I'll try to keep an open mind. Deal?
