So here I am looking for a mustang now. I currently own a Subaru forester xt, which has been heavily modified and like most car enthusiasts you get to a point in a build and being to wonder, unless of course you picked the right car to build, is it worth it to continue. I realized that to do what I would like to to do with my car I would probably be spending another 20k, and that would put me somewhere around 600 to 700 at the wheels depending on octane gas and how crazy I wanted to go. However I would need to swap in an sti 6 speed to handle all of this.
Now why I'm here is because I've always loved mustangs, every since high school, and I realize as the saying goes there is no substitute for cubic inches. However I like boost, so I will probably switch out and turbo, or just get a bigger supercharger. In the meantime the point of this thread really is I know what sucks about the subarus'. What I don't know about are the terminators, what are their hp fail rates for internals, I know ford put some forged goodness into that motor, but how does the trans hold up. I will keep this as the weekend warrior and track car. So I guess I'm asking what I need to lookout for with them, what is the trans tolerances with hp and trq, and what about the engine internals. I know ford made these almost grenade proof, and aside from the evil grin they have, these are the reasons I want one. So in a few months I will be able to purchase one, getting a little money, not in a way I would like, but I am. Thanks all for any info you can give me, and look forward to joining the club soon, and definitely the smell of tire smoke lol, miss that.
