got all the kinks except one worked out on the badass deal of a car i picked up

[zanejohnson]

an old lady drove it until she got a new car, 3 years ago...

the car sat for 3 years, so it had the usualy problems that come along with that...needed a new battery, fluids changed, etc... had rotted lines going to/coming from the transmission cooler (which was a bitch to fix btw) had a weird electrical (or so i thought) turned out to just be the headlight switch (the tail lights wouldnt come on wih the headlights/the parking lights didnt work... played around, turns out the switch was just stripped out and not making good connection.. everythings working great now, im really starting to like this car, the 3.8 supercharged OHV V6 is pretty potent, 210hp @ 4600rpm, and 315 tq @ 2600rpm, it feels nice and powerful

Damn, I'm surprised how much torque that motor puts out.

Smoking deal. Those things can really pull. There's also an "updated" supercharger out there for them that is supposed to be more efficent.

yeah i know it, i was too when i looked at the specs, it has all kind of cool little gadgets that im sure will be oh so fun to fix when/if they ever mess up... it has an independent rear suspension, electronic suspension system, power seats, and of course the eaton blower... it's a pretty car though, pearl white, and i love the factory body kit... i was gonna just tune it up and resell it and make a little profit, but it's growing on me, and i'm loving the 315 ft/lbs of torque and RWD, its fun to give it a little gas and get it sideways around tight little slow turns..

yeah i read on some forums just browsing around it's easy to make 250hp with just a few bolt ons..i dont wanna really spend any money trying to make it fast... it's gonna be my work beater... it surprisingly ges really decent gas mileage too...

i wanna put a decent exhaust and maybe a K&N filter, and thats about it..

210hp on a 2ton car doesnt seem like it would be that quick.

its not, they turn like a mid 16 second quarter mile time... it just feels quick/torquey...

 

[foghorn67]

I love that car. I always wanted one of those when I was kid.

 

[SampSon]

Cool, you take out a second mortgage on the beach house to finance that beast?

Is this a video of you and the car? A night out on the town.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Have you dusted any Vette's with it yet?

 

[rudeguy]

As much as I want to flame you, those are badass cars. The old thunderbirds/cougars were the shit. I liked the cougars because the emblem looked like the Thundercats symbol.

Post some pics?

700 bucks for a Ford, no wonder they are in better shape them GM and Chrysler.

You gonna find that Camaro for a rematch?

 

[Capt Caveman]

Why buy a car when you have that super fast Prelude that can race Corvettes?
