I own a 1967 Blue Mustang coupe with a 200ci six and automatic, which will be receiving a 351W and a T-5 tranny soon, hopefully. I also have a 1979 Mustang coupe no plans on upgrading the engine/tranny combo right now but maybe in the future. I would also like to have a '69 Mach 1. For that one I'm thinking fuel injected 460, maybe bored and stroked, nitrous, automatic tranny and going all out on the interior. A '69 Dodge Charger would be nice. I also want a old Ford Explorer pickup with a lift kit and bigger tires I only like old cars. I don't really care for any of the new "plastic" cars. And I rather shoot myself in the head before I drove a "rice burner".

My favorite car would have to be my brothers Dodge Neon SRT-4. He has some Hahn Twin Turbos on it and boy, does that little 4 banger haul ass! I think it's funny how so many people around my town under estimate that car lol. It's pushing up to 450 hp!!!!!! That even makes his own 69 mustang eat his dust.

Hmm... 450HP?

What's it run in the quarter mile?

That car can't handle 450HP without serious subframe work and also serious transmission and CV joint work.

Did he make that number up or what? Where do you get the 450HP figure?

Most people have no idea what "real" horsepower is.

That car comes off the assembly line with 230hp and can be boosted with mopar bolt-ons to about 300. I don't know if an extra 150 is reasonable. Who cares. It'll smoke a Mustang anyways (as well as most other urban speedsters). Cute car (but it ain't Boxter)
