Well, sorry to hear you're offended (well, not really...) that I called the car a "pig," but it's not like I'm talking about your girlfriend. Really. Maybe I should take offense to you calling my STi a "ricer," no?
So, another member said, "Well, what's the goal?" You see, that's simple. The difficult part would be shedding all of this ridiculous weight and keeping a vehicle that not only still looks good, but is functional. Who cares about 400-500 lbs? Most anybody that wants a car that does more than travel in a straight line, that's who. Power/weight ratio is important to me, and my goal is to have a stylish vehicle with a decent power/weight ratio.
And then I get the, "So go buy a Mustang" comments.
Typical.
But, then again, I could do that, and I wouldn't hate myself for it, either. Unlike some of you, I'm not brand-loyal. I could just as easily buy a Mustang as a Camaro. While I'd
prefer a Camaro, I have no qualms about parking a Mustang next to my 1994 B4C.
...And who's to say I haven't been cross-shopping a 2010 Mustang GT? It's quite simple, really. I could go get a Mustang GT Deluxe for $26,000, then slap a $5000 Roushcharger on it, and still get a 3yr/36k warranty, along with 435 hp. Figure the install cost of the supercharger, the supercharger, and the price of the car, and I'd probably be at around $33,000; the same as a nicely equipped SS. See, maybe I have been doing my homework?
Anyhoo, thanks to those that offered good, useable information, and no thanks to those who didn't.
