    I have had a 2000 GT for about 1-1/2 yrs and have enjoyed driving it after 20 years of minivans. Here's where the " backwards" part comes in. My boy and I were thinking of getting another one with a bad engine and doing a swap. so last week bought an '02 GT parts car and are looking for the blown engine car..... . Life is fun and not always meant to be lived in a straight line.

    At this point it depends on what car I get and what it needs to make it drivable....

    In the general tech discussion, there's an entire subforum on it. it's usually the last step since it is the highest HP build you can do with a 3800 GP, most people usually go with the m90 since it's cheap and half of our cars already come with one. All of this requires some form of tuning, and there's three options there, in order of price: Buy your own tuner, either HPTuners or DHP; both take a little learning but it's a good investment. Next is buying a canned tune, most aftermarket sites offer their own and they all suck since the tuning is not done in the car so it will always be a little off. Lastly is drive over to one of the guys on here with a tuner and have them help you out, case of beer works wonders with most of these guys.

    If you're in search of a 10 sec 1/4, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place. If it's only cheap, reliable fun... Welcome aboard. Lol
