Default What do you think?

Ok, the wife came home tonight complaining about her Mach I being slow. Which caught me off guard knowing she doesn't really drive the car hard at all but had an issue trying to pass someone in traffic today. lol. I know, I know, what a problem to have right? lol.

So, should we sell her car and get her a 13 or put a blower on her car?

For those that don't know, it's an 03 Mach in good condition and only has about 73k miles on it which isn't bad for being 10 years old now.


Opinions?

Go with a new car.

New tech, warranty, comforts, etc. Love the New Edge's myself, but I'd rather be in a newer Coyote or GT500

Used Corvette! You don't want a used stang, they're all abused and beat up by young punks like us. I would prob keep the Mach though. They have a lot of potential, supercharge it and it will outrun us na.

Vette is not an option. We have a three old little girl, back seats are required. Besides, my wife is a hardcore Mustang nut. lol.

I really enjoyed my wife's Mach with a procharger. I promise she wont complain about lack of power.

Keep the Mach.

I am the most anti-SN95 and anti-4.6 guy you will ever meet.

Let me know if you want my opinion and I will give it to you!
