This punk with a probe all decked out with pipes that were as big as 55 gallon drums chrome plated tries me. I put cars on him instantly. Then he wants more. What was so bad I dont know if the 18 inch tach with the huge shift light blinded his judgement. I give him the hit & I could have baked a cake by the time he picked up speed. Then he tries to pass me in the middle turn lane. I had to let him look at the rear of a grandpa mobile. All thanks goes to High psi,Mr. Gillette,& Jd for helping me bring my T back from the dead.

How much $ in mods did it take to achieve that? I'm by no means bashing your ride, I'm just curious.Originally posted by HybridGT

Will that car/engine handle that power for long? This isn't a Ford site so I'm not familiar with that brand.
Considering this a TB site you've gotta expect this; I'm not sure how much you have invested in your entire project but do you realize you can find an 80k or so mile TTA either with similar mods or add them for probably $1,500 and get a reliable daily 11.5 daily driver that stops and corners like a 21st century car? This isn't to mention the LC2 is virtually bullet-proof unless the owner doesn't take basic precautions.
I've had many cars (mostly V-8 GM's [2 GNs, 1 TTA and 1 Typhoon] including a V-8 Vega and Monza and my buddy has a well built 70 Mach1 and nothing I've ever been in compares to the TTA. Sorry, but I'm biased....enjoy your car and drive the he11 out of it!
I really like my GN,didn't drive it long,had it for 3months before it had a fuel leak,after the engine bay burned i decided to work on it over winter.I use the probe for my daily driver and for autocrossing events which i enjoy doing.The Buick will be mostly a weekend warrior.
If you guys have ever seen the info on some of the svt 5.0 Focus, they build outside of the dealers as a added option. Well theres a builder here in my town thats done everything from those little 5.0's to the 03-04 Cobra engines in a Focus! I have never seen one around here, but they have got to be wicked fast. Even more so with a modded Cobra engine in it!
