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.

Thanks everyone for the FOX XR7 love. If I take it out alot of people say nice car but they don't really know what it is LOL It has a BIG problem the tach and speedo work but oil, temp, volt, and fuel don't work anymore

Nice score. I love it when the announcer at the track can't identify a TC or my cougar. He just ignores my car and calls my friend's car a mustang! Hope all these guys here don't give you any funny ideas. It starts with a "remove the air silencer" and goes downhill from there. Welcome.
