[Shotimes] 2003 LS My Next Used Car in Seven Years

[Don McKinnon (AST)]

Curb weight is around 3600lbs so it has some mass to move, probably more
with the Auto model so the added TQ is definitely needed.  Too bad they
dropped the 5-sp model for 03, probably didn't sell 5 of them last year
though!  Finding a 5sp and investigating dropping a worked over 3.2l SHO
motor would be interesting,  Sure would be fun winning the lottery and be
able to play with cars, make it a track car and gut it out, supposed to be a
pretty stout chassis!

Guys, was just reading about the 03 LS. V6 now
produces
232 hp 220 torque. The V8 produces 280 hp and 286
torque. Not to shabby.  All sterring and suspention
systems have been reworked.If the LS was around in
98,[can't remember] it only took Ford 5 years to get
it right. That's about right for Ford. Loaded list on
V8 is about $40,000. Let's see hmm... in about 2010
you should be able to pick one up for under $10,000.
V6s for under $8,000. Hmm... I think I can get my 95
MTX
to last 7 more years providing we can all get parts
for
them.
