took out the T/A today! but i need some opinions
finally took out my T/A after its been sittin since october but meanwhile i was workin on another project check it out
http://www.njfboa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=33844
but now i got attached to that car so i dont know wat to do should i sell the T/A and stick wit stangs??
T/A is def. ALOT faster and handles better but the stang is soo much more fun to drive and cheaper parts and 1/2 the initial price... actually total cost so far. and it dont have the mile long dash! so what u guys think?? what to do?

sell the stang dude. Ive owned 4 foxes. Loved every single one of them. hell i plan on getting one again at some point. When i read the first post i thought you had a fox you were building. if it was then id consider keeping the stang. heck even if it was a 5.0 94-95. but its a sohc 4.6. trash. Sorry. Ive had a lot of friends build them and they were extremely dissapointed. There arent many aftermarket parts for the sohc either. And they're a bit on the expensive side. Overall the sohc 4.6 will never be in the same league as the ls1. Sell that stang. Use it for a Heads n cam package. Run low 11's high 10's all day lol. Seriously though you're WAY better off sellin the car and using it to build the trans am

That pretty much would answer it for me. Bye bye, Stang. As mentioned above, the inferior 4.6 versus the LS1 is a no brainer, and with the right mods in the right areas, that T/A will be as fun, if not more so, to drive.
Besides that, those Fox bodies are a dime a dozen now. I see more of them on the road than F bodies. While yours is really nice, you can do the same thing with your T/A and stand out from the crowd.
Just my opinion.

Do you need to sell something? Why not keep both? Just cruious but have you fixed the air bag(s)? I noticed the stearing wheel one from ur pix. If you are going to try and sell the car like that...good luck.

tru i agree but like i said the stang is so far costing me 1/2 of what i got in the T/A and besides the T/A needs a new rear its makin too many noises def on its way out, on other hand stang w/ a blower and som suspention mods will be close to T/A level and still much cheaper thats why im thinkin hard about what to do lol
