Do you really want that steering wheel???? Car looks pretty sweet, especially for a Metro.

new stang
Looks good man. Is it lowered some? Or does it just look low because of the wheels, tires & the grass it's parked in? How many miles are on it? It would be more fun if it was a 5 speed...but you'll still have plenty of fun with the auto of course!

Nice car, looks pretty solid.
Before believing what the person said it had for power, take it to the track or on a dyno. That will tell ya for sure. Previous owner of my car said it would run 12's, well needless to say I've upgraded it and had it on a dyno and it doesn't run 12's, only mid 13's with 238 rwhp.

A cam (singular), roller rockers, headers, etc isn't gonna add up to 300hp. More like 260ish. Boring a motor adds a negligable amount of power and to stroke it requires a 800-1000 rotating assembly. No offense intended, but you might have gotten taken a little. -Josh, aka the tireburner
