This one is probably going out......not sure how it's still even running but it is. Not sure exactly but another forum guy I know has a mark 8 and a 2002 pi motor I may swap in. Then vortech eventually...

Man, I get so sick of Laser Red cars. It seems like there are more Laser Red V6's here in Charleston than anywhere and they just get tiresome because the ALL LOOK THE SAME.

All it takes is a beautifully done Laser Red car like yours to make me feel all better about that color. Keep up the great work!

You ever wanna get rid of your seats lemme know. I got the same ones in my 96 GT. Im trying to get my interior redone here in a bit but i got 99+ V6 seats in mine right now. I like the up/down movement n stuff cuz my knees dont hit my turn signal switch or wheel anymore but i miss the bolster of a GT seat.

You want to buy them or trade for your seats? I you want to buy them, I'll sell them anytime as long as you come get them....lol, about a 3 hour drive though...Not really interested in trading though. Also the driver seat does have some wire on the side, only sometimes feel it when getting in or out, not while sitting in it though.

PM me if you are actually interested.

Thanks Quickstang!

your exhaust sounds great! i didnt know your car was a auto

V8POWA! · May 19, 2012

awesome!

yeah it's an auto, I wanted a manual, but got a good deal on this....I may do what you did and do the swap eventually, or just build it up a bit.

If always is still following I ended up order the SCT tuner from American Muscle. So far I've only had it on a 91 performance tune. The car definitely feels more responsive, and the shifts are A LOT more firm and quick. That is what I was mainly hoping for and overall I am very satisfied for the price.
