i thought about buying a shell and dropping the motor in there....but again, how reliable would a d-series be cranked to the hilt, enough so to get me mid 10 second time slips......probably only do it a handfull of times before it let go....and then where would i be...sitting on a pile of parts and back at square one..
sometimes you have to realize that you are near the top of a setups potential, and at that moment decide if you are happy with it, or need more......i NEED MORE.
sooooo instead of parting it all out, i sold the car. its in a good home now (drunkinmaster1) and i have no regrets about it. i promise you the next setup will be faster, sexier, caged, and will run 10's with 500hp.....those are my goals, and so far i have never had a project that didnt meet or exceed my goals.
anyways thanks HMT for showin love to the 4dr and stay tuned for more...im not done yet
