But a lot of people left when the site was sold to the company that now own's it just to make money off it.

Depends what year stang it is... The 94- ( I wanna say 99) GTs were only rated at like 215hp. My friend had a 94 GT and before he put gears and **** in it, I could keep up with him frum roll.

Even if you get a junk one- you can do a halfway decent rebuild on one for under 2 grand. The nice thing about 350's is that you can finds parts on just about every street corner.
