Build or buy, 1 or 2?

[musclemustang65]

If have the choice of building your current mustang (My case is a 466hp KB 02 saleen with stock longblock) to roughly 650hp and be your only car (Other than family car)
OR
Buy a second mustang already making 631hp on 15psi on a dart block with a vortech and have 2 mustangs?
Localish speed shop did a lot of the work in GA.

Build.

What speed shop? I may know the car.

Buy the 2nd Mustang.

Build. Something to remember when you get "old" and something special to pass down. Plus building puts you in control of everything.

 

[musclemustang65]

Let me clarify, I'll have it built. I'm no mechanic.
It's Moes speed shop.

 

[shurur]

OK...then if stick axle is s not a concern....look at power to weight ratio of what you have and second car you are considering...

ehhhhhhhhh. This is a foxbody im assuming (dart block). That shop's hit and miss.

1995GT 355CI dart.

I'm going to have to say build in this case. If the car was needed as reliable transportation, I'd say buy a new shelby to that power level and better reliability.

Buy a DD, use leftover money to build Saleen.

 

[Givens]

More fun to build but cheaper to buy already built

 

[SirShaun]

Buy. Building isn't fun, driving is. I guess it's kind of fun shopping for parts and researching stuff you love. You may find something even more bad ass on racingjunk.com or yellow bullet classifieds.

You mentioned you were going to have a speed shop do it anyways. Waiting for your car to come back is torture. It feels like a never ending Christmas Eve as a kid.

It sounds to me like you think daily driving a 650 horsepower 2V is going to be a thing? I don't think so.

^ Probably your best bet.

 

[ford fanatic]

IMO buy.

I'm through wrenching on shit.

 

[Woody6799]

Build. I like the ability to pick my own parts and know every piece of work done to the car.

 

[BlckBox04]

I've already built.

I'd rather buy now and be done with it
