      now a 6cyl front wheel drive N/A not much fun, espically in an automatic.


      fast is a very relitave term.
      yea your right, it's more than enough for me, trust me.I might just throw a couple things on it such a new stereo, new front and tail lights and halogen lights. That's about it probably.
      I knew not what I did but am now edumacated

        Why not bore and stroke a 351W out to a 408 and then drop it in a mustang... It'll fit!

          i was thinking of that too.. but thats alot more $$ than i have.. ive seen a few 331/347 rotating assemblys for around $400 here and some complete engines for around $1000... that or i was thinking of a forged 306 with a supercharger...well see.. the cars only got 112K on it.. plenty of life left in it..

            The newer ones aren't very tuneable from what I hear. Don't go throwing that "2 Fast 2 Furious" crap up in my face either. All it had was chrome and a paint job.

            and some RIMZZZ and NOZZZ and a DOPE WING!
            yeah brea!

              Definately extra lube. I keep two bottles at all times. Can't leave home w/o your lubricant.

                  I Totally agree with you. They kind of are chick cars.

                      Dont listen to what anyone says drive what you want and have fun and be safe.


                      I work at a Toyota/Scion dealership. To get a key made with a chip on it for a 2004 Scion TC was $312.00 Dollars. Yeah not cheap, but I'm sure what the aging of the vehicle the price will go down.
