[QUOTE="99MustangGTman, post: 16965059, member: 55199"] That's pretty cool! I didn't know. I like the newer Taurus SHOs that are AWD & twin turbo. 365 hp is pretty awesome for a car like that. Unfortunately they weigh 30 tons. I do remember some performance shop, maybe Livernois, had one running low 12s. Pretty impressive for something as heavy as the Charger/Challenger behemoths. Reminds me of my WRX in the since it's AWD, turbocharged, and making power to a point is not too difficult since you just need to an Accessport, pro-tune, full exhaust, and a few other things to make quite a bit more power. Mine was running 20.5lbs after I took it to my tuner. Only thing is the car would eat clutches every 20k miles and I had an Exedy stage 1 since it was my DD and i've had enough puck-style clutches in previous Mustangs and I hate them in street cars. My WRX made 308/339 which I thought was perfect for a DD, plus with have to do a 20% conversion since there's more drivetrain loss due to all four wheels receiving power. The car was a beast in the winter with snow tires. It was my first brand new car after I got out of college. I really missed RWD though since my built turbo Mustang was down while I was acquiring new parts, then I eventually started parting it out as I focused on buying more performance parts for my WRX. I haven't looked through the entire thread yet, but I hope no one posted a Suzuki Samurai. Those things are badass. I remember when I visited my cousins in Castlegar, BC and my uncle took my Dad and I to this gun range and we went the long way up the mountains and I was so surprised how this old Suzuki that most likely has close to the same power the Escort had would just relentlessly tackle any obstacle in it's way. I would love to have one for a DD, but most people caught on and they are not that easy to find anymore. [/QUOTE]
