Yep... They are overlooked by some "car guys" but they are about the most fun you can have on 4 wheels. I've had 9 of them now if you include my older son's father and son project car that he totaled, if you include one that I bought Mrs. Irish, and a few fixer uppers I bought to recondition and flip.

My favorite was a 1993 that I bought from a guy at work with a leaky soft top, a hard top and a paint job that looked like pepto bismol. I took it off his hands for $1000.

I sold the hard top for $1000 on craigslist the next week after I figured out that the roof drains were stopped up and that's why the top was leaking, then I wet sanded and buffed the single stage paint out to a beautiful red. I then found a used turbocharger and built a custom intercooler turbo setup with an RX-7 intercooler, custom piping, Mustang injectors, high pressure fuel pump and fuel pressure regulator. When I finished she was pushing 200rwhp on premium pump gas after I got her all tuned up.

I added beefier sway bars, sticky Yokohamas on some light weight wheels, and Koni shocks on some custom adjustable coilovers I pieced together.

After that she was pretty dangerous in SM2 class in autocross. Me and her took a couple of firsts in our class.

That car would fly and grip the road like a cat on carpet.
