Why would a 4cyl mustang be a bad idea?

your friends are full of crap. i had a 1989 mustang 4 cyl. it would kick the crap out of alot of the small block fords and chevys on the street. we were putting out almost 400 horse without turbo or supercharger. we bored it 40 over and decked the heads and put a set of wiseco pistons. we had a 2 inch spacer between carb and intake and ground out the d-port intake to match the oval port head. we also lightend the crank and put a high performance cam in it. we bought a 900 dollar clutch pressure plate and flywheel kit for it. it had a mels ignition and. we never took it to a drag strip but i guarantee it would have ran a 10 sec 1/4 mile pass. a 4 cylinder mustang is a real mustang. put a 4 speed in her and race whatever crap your friends have. youll win. all you have to do is put a little time and effort into it. i now have a 1989 mustang 2.3 LX. the insurance is not expensive at all.
