you STILL got the beast??? i have the feeling you will have that car till the day you die

...

Best bang for your buck dragster is 302 stang, (or an LX with a 460

) or a T/A

**403Gemini** · 12-03-2003, 12:56 AM

yea civic's im pretty picky about tho, hasta be a coupe 2 door if its a civic, not hatch back. only hatch backs i like are CRX's and integras

Get a car that has a great body but the engine is fucked!!!! Honestly man after going through it myself i can tell you you'll love yourself a lot more if you keep your car, buy a nice car with no engine! You're gonna have to rebuild the engine sooner or later on that car so you might aswell start now. This way the initial costs are a bit higher, but you wont have any downtime or left stranded withough a ride. Along the same line you could get a lower trim of the car that you want if you plan on doing an engine swap anyways...This has been my stoned contribution for you tonight!
