about 5 years of a 100 wet shot lol. It was a hell of a sleeper 98 2v with pi swap and all the bolt ons. I suprised my fair share of cobras and ls1's back in the day. Stock that thing made the 5.0 i raced seem like a zr1

Ever rode in a stock 4 cylinder fox?!

Rode with my friend to dinner sat night with our girlfriends (both tiny at around 110-120lbs). He was behind a car at a light and he said "want to see how big a turd this thing is? I'm going to flat foot it on green and I bet I don't have to let off before hitting that car"

Sure enough, that car in normal traffic on a 45mph rode pulled 2+ cars on us before we got to 45mph with his foot to the floor.

I had a 4cly fox. I actually liked that car, but yes it was a turd. Reality is that is all the power / engine weight that the chassis can handle with out breaking itself up.
