Now this was a deal that came out of nowhere. Got this from my best friend. Calls me up from a Toyota dealership and says he's at the office and he traded in his Vortech supercharged '04 Mach 1. I flipped out, I'm like, you didn't come to me first???. I asked what they were offering him on trade and he said $15k plus tax incentive. I told him to tell them it was sold and he wasn't gonna trade, so he did and I rushed to the bank pulled out $16k and...........an hour later it was mine.
Ok, he's had this car since new and it now has 32k miles. He paid $30k for it new and dumped over $23k in upgrades including an Intercooled Vortech supercharger (almost $9k installed), every bolt on know to man, Borla/Bassani exhaust, gears, full race suspension ($6k in that alone), gears, etc. Just last week he installed a new race clutch and aluminum flywheel plus new tires. The fact that he was trading it in was bizzarre to say the least, especially since he just paid $2k for the clutch/flywheel and another $800 for tires. This car ran 11.6 @121 in the 1/4 mile BEFORE the aluminum flywheel and race clutch assembly. Should be a tenth or two quicker now. He's gonna write all the mods done, cause other than what I mentioned I dont even know. I know the list will read like a book though. I'm gonna need to get rid of this or my Cobra convertible. I may sell this as is (for a profit) or maybe pull the drivetrain and swap it out with the one in my Cobra vert (also has an '04 Mach motor). I'll see. Anyway car needs a bath cause of all the bad weather here but here's a few pics of the beast:
