About 2 months ago I bought a 91 LX 5.0 AOD (Twilight Blue) in great stock condition with 100k miles from the original owner.
I've already had a full tune up.
Brand new BF Goodrichs all around
Super 44 flows
2.5" flowmaster tail pipes
It's a beautiful car to look at (especially in the Twilight Blue, which I never see), BUT it's slow as hell.
Before I invest too much money into it and make it a more fun weekend car, should I just sell it, cut my losses and look for a 5 speed?!
I was/am currently planning on, in this order...
* 4.10 gears
* dropping
* disc brakes in the rear
If I do sell it, I might consider spending up to $15k for a new edge Saleen or Mach 1.
THOUGHTS?

15k could go a long ways in a fox but it's really up to you and what you want out of a car.

Finding a clean Fox nowadays is hard to do, 5 speed swaps are easy and there are plenty of write ups on how to do it. Now I can see if you wanted something newer then by all means, otherwise keep it and enjoy!

Sounds like you want something newer, Go ahead and get a 4v Mach 1.

I'm going to throw some 4.10 gears in it in the next couple of weeks and take it from there.

If I keep the fox (which is what I plan on), I wouldn't put $15k into it, probably more like $5k to $6k since I paid $4500 for it already.
The $15k budget for a new edge would be to get a solid low mileage car.
Any suggestions in the East Bay (I'm in Fremont) to buy and install rear gears, lowering springs and camber plates all in one place?
