Plus dat higher redline. But now I'm thinking ooooo shorter gear ratio, ohhhh cat delete, ohhhh maybe a set of cams.I guess the 3vs sound better than Coyotes at least. I have that going for me. But I'd rather have spent 3k more for another 115 horsepower. Now if I spent 3k I MIGHT get close to matching a Coyotes 0-60, at absolute best, MIGHT. Rarely get to use all 300 hp but God I wanted my next car to be avrocket ship I almost couldn't redline it was so fast.
>>28105631>But now I'm thinking ooooo shorter gear ratio, ... ohhhh maybe a set of cams.Nope, with a 4.6 you go straight to forced induction.
>>28105631If your primary goal isn't seeking 1/4 mile times I'd pick a pre-facelift S197 every time for the looks alone. It's got potential to be a cooler street-oriented car. Everything new might be obnoxiously fast now but 0-60 in 5 seconds is still not slow. Instead of chasing 0-60 times you could also combat the old lolcantturn meme and go after handling upgrades as well.

>>28106069Post your straight car
>>28106076No, I have a recognizable car and don't want my shitpost to be associated with it
>>28106130Your car is normal traffic
>>28106133There were less than 600 of my car made, with maybe a dozen imported to the US. Also bold words coming from someone with a fucking mustang.
>>28106076Which one?
>>28106160Mustang who?>>28106161See what I mean? These threads bring out all the flies.
>>28105988Hm. Would it be about as reliable doing a supercharger with relatively low boost? I know it'd probably run me 8k total with an install.. I'm not sure it's worth it. But maybe. Car is my DD, so reliability is very important. >>28106045Does make me buttmad how people shill the Coyote engines and dickwave 0-60 times. I do like the body style of the 05 more. Think the 11+ has better interiors though. I guess I should just try to make it sound bad ass and enjoy it. I'm more of a sound guy, just haven't gotten around to doing more than a set of SLP loudmouths. Going to delete the cats soon as well.
The trick is to buy a car and never "shop" for it again. Youre always going to realize youve been screwed someway or another.
>>28106453I just buy upgrades for shit when it breaks
>>28106451Spray it.
>>28105631>test drive a few, problems with them allYou should see the market for Siennas. Tons of brokies bought them new and didn't change oil ever. There's a ton of them with the yellow triangle light, which is a low oil pressure warning and a dead giveaway that whoever owned it last didn't give a fuck before the trade-in.
>>28106160Is it some kind of limited edition bus that only drives the really retarded children?
