not sure how much they go for but it did not seem fast at all. i thought it would have fared better with 470HP.

470 american hp. I smoked one of those STS-V's with the supercharged northstar - 475 when I was bone stock. I know those are heavy and I am sure the convertible stangers are pretty chunky too.

Estimated 3650 lbs, yea more like 3900 to 4000 lbs, with 465 American HP equals one *** wax.

I would think that the Saleen could be made much faster for a reasonable amount of money, however.

Nice kill, people always say why don't you race something faster? Where I live it is slim pickings so you take what you can get. This morning a guy in an 80's Trans Am came blasting up beside me but the freeway was full of morning commuters. I would have loved to show him how fast the tt was, but no chance.

Just got back in from totally destroying an '86 Buick Skylark. Wasn't even a match for the Pcar. I'm going to take a shower then head over to the local middle school and kick a couple of 7th graders ***.

Come on man, you don't really mean what you said do you?

anyone with mods is fair game. If i see a honda civic with a cheap *** body kit, I'll slaughter it in my lifted truck just for kicks.
