I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

You must not've heard Steve & Laura's car at CJ this year then.  I was pleasantly surprised at how good a 2.3 with flowmasters could sound.

Nope, I'm with ya brian, I love the sound of a turbo 2.3, I mean you'd never guess by the fact that I have 2 ;)

And to really get all of you... my first hot rod will probably be a Ford Anglia with a built 2.3 turbo engine and a 5 speed and when it's done, I'll bring it to CJ for some fun  :banana:

I love how my 2.3T sounds. It's loud as hell, but somehow avoids that raspy zing most 4bangers get with an opened up exhaust. No fart here, only a heavy roar. I'll try to throw an audio clip together.

Oh yeah, well, here's what I had at one point:



The 87 t/c is in too many pieces to be driven now :( (that would be the black 87, the gray 87 is a sport)

1.) I drive an 88 T/C body with a 5.0. Motor has Edelbrock Performer heads, Performer RPM intake, FRPP F-303 cam, Comp Cams roller rockers, 93 Cobra computer, 24 lb inj, windage tray, high volume oil pump, high volume fuel pump, Kirban adjustable fuel regulator, Mac cold air kit, full Mac exhaust, 5 lug conversion with 97 cobra wheels, 13 Cobra brakes, lowered, Koni's, etc, etc, etc. You get the picture. This is my nice weather vehicle.
2.) My foul weather ride is an 04 F-250 Crew Cab Lariat pick-up with the V-10. Sucks gas but moves out pretty good.
3.) Wife's ride is an 02 Mercury Sable with the 24V V-6. car is pretty quick for a family hauler.
