Would be very keen on one.
Dude, i was talking to simon tonight (the guy who built your starion and owned it for years) said he put the 3.9 in the car and it made his 1/4 mile times worse as it caused more wheel spin off the line. He put the 3.55 back in.

He agreed that it would pull over 260 in 5th. Simon did rebuild the gearbox many years ago when he was working at the gearbox factory.

If you ever do go to sell your car please PM me so i can let simon know - he may want it back one day - a lot of history there
