Tuner Starter Car

You pussy footing around with all these little 4 bangers and you have a Mustang with an independent rear suspension already. Well, really, you have a Mark VIII without air ride and the weight. Which means find you a Mark VIII's 32v DOHC V8 (you know, the one with 290 hp?) and mate it with a Tremec T56, limited slip from the Mark, custom make the shaft, throw some Ford racing cams in it, and chip it and you'll destroy quite a few cars on top end. And you'll still pay the same insurance without the mustang premium.

I have a V6 not a V8 with 145HP(like 105 at the wheels) not 290 and it weighs about 3,700lbs with me in it(LOL what a boat). And theres also one other problem I would have to get a SC to have a manual which I really would like to have( I'm not buying another auto, atleast not now). A V6 SC sounds real nice just out of my price range.(keep in mind I'm 16 working at Gamestop)

Ok, let's try this again. I go slower. Since you have a car on the same chassis as a Mark VIII, get rid of your V6 and swap it for the Mark VIII's 32V Intech V8, that one does have 290 hp. You find yourself a Mustang V8's transmission, the T56 6 speed manual and put those 2 together with the proper wiring harness and chip. Hell, when all said and done, it's gonna weigh as much as a Supra anyways, but with V8 power. So while you're at it, convert the rear drums to disc's, courtesy of that said Mark VIII. And when you're tired of shitting on these little 4 bangers on the highway, Turbo it at 7 psi, you'll be making more power than any other said car due to the amount of power you'll have from the start. You don't need to get a supercharged car just to have a 5 speed. It's all about going custom. Check out these links.

if I wanted to do that I would just do it to my current car, but to get it manual would be a pain b/c the tranny is longer than stock so it would need some modifaction(read that on tccoa), and then I would SC b/c rangerlee has done it on like 3 of his V6's or I would do a swap to a 4.2L from a F-150 . Trust me I have been doing research on MN12 for like the past 8 months I rather just get out of that scene. Its just seems like it would be too much time money and effort to get it where I would like it to be . I dont mind putting my time and effort in it but like I said my pockets are very shallow. But thanks any way.

EDIT: and a V8 is out of the question. Like I said before it would jack up my insurance, which I really dont want that to happen and plus gas would me more too.
