you can buy a fox body 5.0 right now for 700-1500 in varying condition - add the 4500 to some tires 5K and it is triple the price.

5K is alot of money to add to a car to make it quick - total dollars with car isnt the point it's total dollars spent when you have the car and spending 3-4x what the car might be worth is alot, 5K is alot.

With 5K you can do aem v2, custom full exhaust, hytech header, aem ems tuning, final drive upgrade and still have enough money for a set of wide wheels, tires and some parts of suspension.

If this is just a thread about performance per dollar you can get 07 cbr 600rr's now for 4800 do 0-60 in 3 seconds and the 1/4 in 10.4 stock and kill everything.


Find me a $1500 fox body. Your just proving my point further if you do.


A better argument would be, "for 5k you can turbo an S2000 and make about 350whp". How's that?




lol @ even bringing up a bike. Talk about comparing apples to the moons of Jupiter.


I see we're just getting further away from your original post which has been disproved by multiple members, so
So true. Having owned 2 5.0's myself, it is cheap and easy to make lots of power, much more so than an S2000. For $5k you can do heads,cam, exhaust, intake, and a Vortech and make silly power, provided you do your own wrenching. Lots and lots of rustangs out there like this, very affordable platform.
