Hi, Guest
Yeah 40k is steep, unless it runs rings around the Mustang in all regards.
For $10K I can get another Duratec hatch, , several K to build the block and boost it, few more for susp and brake upgrades.
But, there's something to be said for starting with a 100 BHP/L inline-5 that will mod to well over 350BHP with decent parts.
Now, give it AWD and a 30K pricetag as a WRX-fighter and you have a deal.
Let the Mustangs worry about going in a straight line and let the Focus crowd fend off the EVOs and STIs, imported R33s, VW GTI R32s, etc.
