Not exactly tweaked and ready, but you can join and post away! IF, you are into stangs/fast fords. I haven't really released the site as of yet, but plan to do some promoting and tweaking on it here soon.

I had an 89' Ford Escort in college. Does that count?

Ah, let me rephrase -- and 89' Ford Escort GT.

I had a cool spoiler. It looked like the older Mustang models.

I have a 94' Ford Taurus! 3.8! Yeah, I wanted a used SHO at the time, but they were twice as much and had more mileage. It has been a good car, except for the usual lousy shifting Ford automatic transmission... I have yet to drive a Ford automatic that doesn't tick me off.

My wife had a Ford Taurus in college. An SHO no less. It was one of those used to be pace cars.

Yeah, I hear the mid-90's series were pretty good sport sedans for the money. I would love an Audi RS6 Avant, but they don't sell the Avant version in the USA, and I don't have $80k. So I could go for an Audi S4 Avant, but I'm currently thinking of getting a VW GTI or Mini Cooper S. Perhaps a Subaru WRX wagon if I spend a bit more and want a S4 Avant for a poor person. Yeah, I like wagons, I just have to find one that is a chick magnet! LOL

Hard to have a chick magnet when I drive mostly a Nissan Quest. My normal work and back truck is the GMC Jimmy.

doomster---weren't you into Mopars big time a while back?

I was and just sold my last one back the first of the year. The old school mopar stuff is nice but the newer stuff you just can't do but so much with it, it has the most restricted computer in any vehicle made. I did a cam swap and had the heads done on my bee, the a/f was a "you know what" to get back right. We wound up using a SMT6 piggy to correct it. Truck ran good, 13.7 @ 103 mph in the 1/4 mile, but it should have done more, however it was a pig weighing in at 5,000 lbs with me and fuel. It dynoed 347 to the rear wheels after all the work. A bunch of stuff that we did with it was real experimental and I took toooooo much of a chance with a new vehicle to experiment with. It stayed at virginia speed for two weeks after the cam swap/head job to try and get a tune that would correct the a/f ratio. They tried everything possible, then came up with the SMT6, my truck was the piloting program for using their equipment to tune with, the first dodge application. It took forever to get things right on it. The turbo and supercharger kits for the new hemi engines suck also, with stock internals safe boost is set about 5-6 lbs, there isn't any aftermarket support for them period. Guys were having parts custom machined, such as forged rods and stuff so they could spray nitrous and run boost. With Ford stuff, I can pick up about any performance catalog and have what I need in two days, and a tune e-mailed to me for any upgrades/mods I do to it.
