I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

That is funny...

Hot Rod did the same thing back in about '86 with a '70 Caddy that had a 472. After weighting it down to like 6000 lbs it still ran 17s. Then they started removing weight and cutting... Finally with it still weighing nearly 3000lbs it was running in the 13s...
