Colin Phillips 2001 GT

[surfinsk8r]

Hey guys!
Tim referred me here and I tend to go to him when I'm debating what I should do next to my car. I'm located outside of Philadelphia in Blue Bell, near King of Prussia and Plymouth Meeting.

Here's (what was) my car:

You can check out my car on cardomain here:
Surfinsk8r's 2001 Ford Mustang GT (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3248960)
My modifications are on page 2.

Thanks for looking!

P.S. I'm in the process of getting a new car now. Still haven't decided quite what I want and where I want to go with it.

Welcome Colin, sorry to see your car like that!!

[1Badbird]

Welcome to UGH! Sorry for your loss man that sucks! Is it saveable?

[Balaska347]

Welcome sorry to see that

Welcome man

[surfinsk8r]

Unfortunately the car itself was not able to be repaired, but fortunately I was able to pull a couple thousand dollars of parts from it before the insurance company took it.

I am looking forward to starting fresh with possibly a new platform as my last car was almost finished other than going the F/I route.

Any suggestions?
I'm looking for a car more focused on handling a 0-60 acceleration. I don't see a drag strip often so drag performance isn't a primary concern.

welcome and ouch

get another stang and set it up to carve corners, you already have a bunch of parts right?

Nah i sold them all cause I was pretty sure I wanted to start with a different platform if a stang than a newer or different year/body/motor.

And as far as the STi goes, they're rather overplayed in my area it seems like everyone has a WRX or STi

[police4.6]

whats up man sorry about the car and as far as getting a good handling car 370 z ftw

Welcome!

man that's a shame to see your car hurt in those pictures, it looked like you put a lot of time into it :(


Ever take a look into an 03/04 cobra, 335i coupe, a used C6 or heck even the 2011 GT when it comes out?

I'm probably in the minority, but I really like the 5 door STI!

No I think i'd have to agree that is a pretty good looking car. That and even though STi's are so abundant in my area I don't see the new 5 door version.

I've been currently looking at an e36 M3 for the meantime and in the summer when I'll have the money maybe upgrading to an e46 M3 if I'm enjoying driving around an M3.

I drove a friends RX-8, not a huge fan of them but they are tons of fun to drive.

[talontsi92]

If STi's are too plentful, have you considered a Lancer Evolution? Even better handling platform than the STi, not a hatchback, and the stock 03-05 Evo8's and 06 Evo 9's are going for well under 20k with around 50k on the clock. \

Hell, i just saw one in WV for sale for a little under 8k, well modded, but for a street car it would need work, the interior was pretty stripped, but the guy was including all the parts in the sale.

[surfinsk8r]

Wow I wish I could pick up that evo! 8k Dang. I have looked at Evo's but I want to spend under 10k for now.
