Gotta rep your scene:
1989 Ford Taurus SHO - $500 running - ex http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/car/48322348.html - 220hp, N/A engine (better for AutoX than a turbo), 0-60 in 6.6->7.0sec stock, .81g on skidpad stock
$710 - brand new suspension (OEM Motorcraft Struts (SHO specific, pretty stiff) / Ebach Lowering Springs, all mounting hardware) - add $200 for Koni Adjustable Struts
$25 - remove cats & fabricate new Y-Pipe - good for 15+ HP
$400 - Nice Tires
$40 - New Plugs / Wires
$1675 without selling anything - all parts prices are retail.
Lighten the hell out of it - seats, carpeting, any BS under the hood that isnÔÇÖt needed, door panels (can replace interior for car show) - this cars biggest problem is weight (3300lbs stock.)
Not the best car for the challenge I'm sure, just food for thought.

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
