    Sorry to see the Comet go away, but looking forward to watching the Mustang come together, 'cept for that bowtie part... Heck, it'll still go with chebbie power, but that pony might buck & snort a bit till you get it broke.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Good luck with your new hybrid.

    Since I'm an amateur astronomer, the title of your thread made me come in here to see about the latest astronomical events...asteroid, meteor, and now your comet. I'm seein' stars!

    ended up picking up a set of small domes, and a new intake today. brand new GM bowtie intake for $100.00 new in summit or jegs its about a 385 dollar intake. i hope it will work good with the 406, i made sure its NOT the .200 raised runner version. gm recomends a 2 inch spacer!

    Like the hatchback body style! One of my boys had an '89 hatch that he learned a lot with as he was going through his late teens.
