I have had it with this Marauder. First it's tuned as a Ford van, then the blower blows up. I had the blower rebuilt and now it's leaking oil and pushing only 7psi! :mad2:
I thought I would get a good 450RWHP today, but no I got 366.
The rear posi is shot and my rear tires are so bald they look like street radials... NO JOKE! .......well whos fault is that? :rolleyes:
If you wanna have fun you gotta pay the price.... over and over again.
The things that keep breaking are the aftermarket parts. Everything Ford made is still holding up just fine, but the supercharger, rear end and other do das just cannot take it and I'm starting to lose it myself.
The best way to have a car is STOCK. It will last! The problem is everything sucks unless you spend over 50K and BTW I am talking about new cars. No style at all. It's all about safety and gas mileage. I bet there was more time taken into the design of a grill from a 55 Buick, than the whole front and rear end of a modern car.
Look at the 2010 Mustang. New body parts my butt! They just shaved some metal to make a curve look when it's really Ford being cheap by using less metal.
What do we have these days? Cars meant to be safe and run 500 miles on a tank of gas... but we cannot tell the difference between a modern Chevy and an Acura from 50 feet away... FAIL.
Cars are a great money burner. No matter what, there is aways something else that needs to be done. The less fun a car is, the longer it will last. I CAN'T HARDLY STAND IT.
It's times like this I wanna set my car on fire and forget about the whole hobby. I was actually considering getting a NEW car today, but nothing interest me at all unless I have 50K to spend and even then I would be tempted to put speed parts on whatever else I aquire.
What is the cure for this speed bug? I want it and I need it now.
I want out! :mad:
End Rant.
