Well I started with a 94 celica gt coupe back when I was 17 yrs old. I liked it, and did a few small mods to it, but I realized I had caught the speed bug and my auto 5sfe wasn't gonna get me there. I next went to a 98 mustang gt automatic when I was 19 yrs old. This was much faster, but I was able to sell it for a profit so I did. Next I was still short on my budget for a fast car, so I bought a 2001 ford ranger 4.0 v6 automatic. I was able to flip it for a nice profit, and so I was ready to find a fast car. I ended up with a 96 mustang cobra 5 speed, kenne bell supercharged, meth injected, many mods. I had to fix a lot of things wrong with the car and have it dyno tuned twice and with a total of 9000$ invested I hit 370rwhp. But really my love of cars goes back to my old 94 celica gt. I started learning about cars with it and have made it a long way since the celica. I had wanted to go with a 5sfte turbo setup with my 94 celica gt, but I couldn't afford it at 19, now I'm 22 and pretty happy with my cobra.
I just wanted to share my vehicular progression since this is the forum that got me started with modding cars. Thanks for reading. Here are a few links to some vids of my cobra. If you would like to see a youtube vid of my cobra please copy and paste this into your browser.

9 grand and you only hit 370HP? for 9 grand i could make your celica make 500 Haha I could have hit more than 370hp if I wanted to, but its my daily driver and 370 is plenty. Besides I dislike fwd vehicles and no offense but Celicas dont get nearly the amount of chicks that a Cobra does. I mean when people ask me what car I drive and I reply a Cobra, I get mad attention, not so much in a celica. And I highly doubt you can purchase a Celica and mod it to reliably and be a pleasant daily driver while making 500fwhp for 9k, especially not the US version, maybe in a gt4... But thanks for your critical remarks, I can take it lol. Edit: I gotta add that my cobra passes emissions and has zero check engine codes, which I dont think a 500hp celica can say.
