Funny how much of he likes it considering it's basically stock with irs and a t-5 and 5 lug. Not even an h.o. swap, but overall, nothing bad to say either. It looked pretty clean overall.

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.
