I\'m planning on picking up a 2001 Ford F150 SVT Lightning, or a \'97 Porsche Boxster, and was wondering what cars/trucks you guys are eyeing. Or if you aren\'t planning on buying something new, what mods are you planning to put on your current vehicle? Also list the specs for your future vehicle, for those who are unfamiliar. BTW please be reasonable, don\'t say you are going to buy a brand new million dollar 2002 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron, w/ 1000bhp.

As for the lightning: local price 24,000
Horsepower: 380hp @ 4750 rpm
Torque: 450ft-lbs. @ 3250 rpm

The Boxster: Local price is 22,000
Horsepower: 201hp @ 6000 rpm
Torque: 181ft-lbs. @ 4500 rpm

and yes these are realistic goals, thanks to me being single, with no debt.

I\'m looking for 1998 VW Jetta GLX (2.8l VR6; stock 176 hp).
New ECU, stainless cat back DTM exhaust, coilover\'s, 17\'s w/Toyo\'s. That\'s it. Maybe M3 mirrors & some Abt/ Oettinger body stuff.

I\'ve got my eye on a sweet little 1971 ford pinto station wagon, with dynamic exploding gas tank, dual reactive overhead
ka-neuter valves, mosenferrier muffler bearings, and englehardt piston cams. I figure with a little tweaking, I can coax 150-200hp outta her...

Is that the one with the RC exploding gas tank or the model with the push button on the dash?
BOOM- Loud
