That's the kind of car we don't get over here and that's why it always has some sort of "american magic" to my European eyes and hell, 170'000 miles is quite an achievement already!
Thanks for the custom shot of course.

well I can keep up with Mustang GT guys and my buddy's Z28 but I'm not sure what the power is now, My dad rebuilt the engine at 100,000 miles with Ford Racing components since they were cheaper somehow, that and I have Cobra fuel rails and a K&N FIPK I would guess like 270 but It's not at the point where I would waste money to Dyno it.

yeah my dad wanted it in Manual soo bad when he bought way back in 95 but they just weren't available still a good car and a pretty nice tranny since it has electronic OD disingage. And when you shift it yourself it shifts when you tell it to so you can redline the piss out of it and it won't shift.
And I've seen T-birds that look stock in the engine but make bitch loads of power so remember looks can be deceiving.

oh yeah they go faster but Ford put 120mph on the dial for insurance reasons I've managed to get it to 120 before and it still had some left in it but I had to start slowing down.

well stock they said I should expect about 500rwhp and about 550rwTorque. in the end I expect over 700rwhp without the bottle to start and I'll see where it goes from there. It is going to be a project car with my Team at school for nowbut I plan on running the thing for years evolving as I go. For now it's going to be another 4.6 but eventually I will punch it out to 5.2. I will port the heads and everything first thing though I have to strengthen up the body/frame to handle it being that it is a unibody. I don't plan on having this thing done for atleast 9-10 months it will be atleast 1-2 before I have the engine since they are a small company and alot of people order engines this time of year so they can build the car over the winter.
