True, but it has to stay somewhat sane since it's my daily driver and I am making the payments for several years to come.[:@][&o] If I still had my Shelby Z I could gut it and really have fun with it now. I could make it insanely bad *** and tear up most everything on the streets. I had plans to strip it down to bare bones and build it up from scratch. It was going to get a full cage (as much as I could and still hide with tint) and either the 2.2L Turbo II built for great fun or a built 440 and RWD conversion. I love both ideas and they both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I prefered the thought of the ungodly combo of it with the 440. A super lightweight Daytona with a huge torquey 440 that is a single digit 1/4 mile car that is streetable, now that is a perfect late night killer to destroy any and all who dare. And to make it perfect for all situations I would run the 3.23 sure grip out back to keep the top end nice and high too.

Oh, I totally understand the reasoning to get an SRT-4 over a Daytona, and I even like Daytona's much better, but an SRT will still be faster than a daytona except if you drop a grand+ into the tona and then it may not be as streetable. Thats why I'd love to drop an modded say stage 3 SRT drivetrain into a lightened 1st gen daytona. Sorry for stealing the thread

That idea would work just fine as well.

Sounds sweet man, get that motor running, it will be nice. Yeh, first ride in an srt-4, all kinds of goodies under the hood, I believe it was stage 3. Got up to 130 in no-time from a 35-roll.Sweet cars.

That sounds like a good starting point for the 440 powered beast. I wish I could, but between the new car payments and the insurance on it, that is one of the reasons I had to let my '88 Shelby Z go as well as the big dreams for it with the 440.[][&o]

At best it could only be Stage 2 w/toys, Stage 3 is not available yet. The SRT-4 stock is good for every bit of the 160 MPH speedometer, sometimes even a little more.
