Hehe- most of the 9's s*** was to just talk smack to the Honda guys. I do have a mid-10 second (should be- know when I get my slicks) all motor 94 Z28 with a 396 stroker small block. I will be spraying that and it should go nines on the spray, but that isn't my main goal. I actually traded the MSP in and got a 2003 Mustang GT convertible that I plan on turboing this winter. I don't know, I miss the MSP and part of me wishes I kept it, but honestly with what I wanted to do to it, it was not worth the effort or $$$ into a brand new car to "only" run 12's or so then replace the trans everytime I nuke it
. I wanted to start with a more solid foundation. I was actually just "kicking around" the idea of getting rid of it, but I went to visit a friend who is a salesman at a ford dealership- it was a nice day and I saw the white GT with black top and charcoal interior sitting in the front of the lot and it turned into an impulse thing.. My fiancee fell in love with it and the color combo had me sold!! It is just a nice daily driver which will handle a lot more abuse than the MSP. The thing that will make you all proud though is we got the run the GT vs. the MSP on the test drive (my friend drove the MSP) and the MSP spanked me- he had me by 3 cars or so when I hit 3rd, so I just let off 
..The main reason I wanted to get back into domestics is I have been building Imports for over 7 years and no offense guys, but the new import crowed sucks (for the most part) and it is almost embarrassing to be a part of
.. It is all people trying to sell over priced s*** that does nothing for real performance and people bragging about BS parts that were $1000 . I got my headers, x pipe and cat back for less than what an import exhaust goes for- and it is two pipes not just one .. The vendors know that people will buy the stuff, so they price gouge like mad .. My friends have been building domestics since I started with this crap and they are all 9's and faster- I could have built a 7 second TT big block car twice over with all the $$$ I've pissed away on imports . They are good for fun street cars, but can't handle what I would put it through- if I could leave my MSP where it was, it would have been perfect- but I had much higher goals.. Couple that with the baby s*** I have encountered here (not all of you, of course) and the parts that I have broken over the years trying to run 500+ hp through stock Import drivetrains (the only option for most imports) and it just wasn't worth it anymore.. I got tired of people saying my HP#'s were BS and blah blah blah. It was my car, I could care less if you believe me or not, but why would I make it up? I got tired of explaining myself to a bunch of assholes. It just pisses me off...Anyway, I will still be around and I will be working with some other vendors on new parts and ideas for the MSP, so don't worry
