Yea i was thinking that as well. But i mean i doubt i find a car that is as clean as mine and has less muiles for around 4 grand you know. its a 93 with 82,000 miles. Its in beautiful condition ask p8nt ballah or ls1 babe. they both live by me. And if someone could help me sell it that’d be great. If not what do you think of turbo charging it with the factory sunbird kit? Garrett T-24 which is that much boost. ---

i’d go v-8 but it has to be clean and solid. Otherwise, its an unsolid investment. I love the body style of p8nt ballahs car. And i want his rims off of his green mustang 🙂 ---

Yea well i don’t have that much money to buy a new engine and supercharge or turbocharge it. Turbo sunbirds are pretty fast if they maintenenced them correctly. ---

I hear tehy werwe alot faster then what i have on [stat.com](http://stat.com) or whatever the sunbird turbo ran a 16.1. Not bad for a sunbird ---
