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.

Nice :)

You still have the stock 10" brakes up front? If so that's why it needs bigger brakes....

Hmm should stop a bit better. I've got 10" up front and 10" drums in the rear and it stops ok. It's a bit scary at the end of a quarter mile though. Then again your car probably has 200hp more than mine does, which would make stock style brakes scary.

After awhile you'll think "eh this isn't that fast". That's when one gets in trouble. And adds a supercharger.

Ain't that the truth? It goes from 'OMFG!' to 'OMG!' to 'omg' to 'yeah' to 'meh...' in short order, lol.
