enough."

        It all depend on exactly what you mean by faster car.   The stock
Tiger is plenty fast.   It performs similarly to my stock  '88 Mustang 5.0,
5 speed.   
        Going faster is exhilarating and fun but you need confidence in your
car and in your driving skills.   If you lived closer to New York State I
would tell you to sign up for a driving school at Watkins Glen International
Race Track and really hone your driving skills.   So check out any high
performance type driving schools in your area.

        Can you shoehorn a 427 into a Tiger?   When you have mega buck to
drop into that project, someone will figure out a way to do it and go over
budget getting the work done.   The better way to get horsepower in there is
to build a stroker small block.   I think the stoker 347 engine has become a
favorite.

Paul,
 
yea i will drive my car as it is  stock first. And my carpet and exterior 
trim is perfect. I had to replace  the front trim on right as it was bent.
But i 
fixed that already.  I just cleaned all the 260 motif badges last week. My
car 
looks great as it  is. EXCEPT there are a few scratches and nicks around the

car. You cant see them  far away, but up close they are visible. So before
im 
done it will need a new  paint job. 
 
But i always will want to have a  faster car. It will never be fast enough. 
So i am just trying to get some  suggestions on what to save up for. 
 
And then when i get to be around 30  after college and stuff THEN i will 
stuff in a BIG BIG engine. Ahhh wat do u  think bout the 427? HAHA. now i
think im 
dreaming. Is that possible?? Does  anyone know?
