Out of my cars, the FB is the one that needs my attention. I jumped on the Maserati because my current car is on it's way. The CV joints, driver side tie rod, rear passenger side wheel, transmission, bumper covers and hood all need to be replaced. Including a lot of frame straightening. So I figured I'll buy the Mas, and sell my other car for like $300 and then dump my money into the FB. That's the plan anyway as of now. I'll get rid of other things before I ever get rid of the FB...lol.

Haha, that's way too much work for me. Especially converting it to RWD.

Those things were sick. One of my friends from high school had one in our senior year. It was crazy.

those are nice cars, raced one with my buddy in his iroc z and the old guy driving it kept up for the first 100ft then we were gone. Isn't that basically a done up daytona turbo motor. Love the little circle window in the back of it, and the hardtop.

The Omni/Horizon GLH... GLH stands for Goes Like Hell.

It came with a 200 horsepower DOHC or a detuned 160 horsepower SOHC. Both of those motors were turboed/intercooled. They had an option for a V6...but I'd imagine that was a piece of crap compared to the 2.2 turbo's. I think it has the same motor options as the Shelby Daytona, but don't hold me to that one.

Those little windows were expensive. The ones on it have weathering pits on them, and I want to replace them. The guy has another set he bought brand new from Chrysler. I can get them from him for $250...they were $400 brand new. I'm not sure if I want to spend $250 on small porthole windows...Lol.

That doesn't even sound safe. Imagine the power to weight ratio.

^thats expensive BUT my friends 94 mustang gt, the little sail windows were $679 from the factory, each. Of course he didn't buy them, $20 bucks at a junkyard and you get the same ones Ofcourse that factory price was in 1999.

Those onmi's are fast but not 270hp at stock boost. I saw one run a 13.2 with stock turbo boosting 14psi and 3" exhaust. Everything else was stock except for the exhaust.

The S, which stands for "Shelby" should actually be a "T" standing for "The Almighty!"
