if you want a stick so bad why dont you convert yours, you could do it for pennys on the dollar. you could ravage a trans and everything for less then a grand. then your car would be more desireable slavage title or not.

You're right, I did assume that was why you were selling it. So then why sell the car if its paid off? You can still drive it while saving up all the money you can to get the mach. What price did you think you were going to ask for your car btw? And 8 grand in mods? Where are those hiding in your sig? What is the real reason for wanting the mach, engine? looks? less milage? 5 spd? those can all be changed with your car now and for less than selling yours and buying new, also the insurance will be higher with the Mach as well. Just more thoughts from the peanut gallery.

None of us would ever get our money back in a car. Honestly your car is good for a build up of some sorts. It doesn't have a ton of value, and if it's totaled you should be able to buy it back pretty cheap.


Tinted windows,Tinted tail lights,blue head/fog light bulbs, 12' kicker sub, pioneer 7'in touch screen head unit,alpine amp, bbk cold air intake,motorized license plate, flowmaster 40 series, kyb shocks and struts, H&R spirngs, black saleen rims

Those are the mods you have listed in your sig. There isn't any performance modifications there, and not nearly eight thousand listed. There is a difference between mods and repairs. A repair is on your dime. You will not see that money back. Most performance mods you can see something back when you sell them off.

If I was in your shoes I would look at what I wanted to do, my cash flow, and a realistic goal. Quickest way to go faster is some sort of spray. If I had an auto GT I would do
  • Stall
  • Gears
  • Exhaust
  • Spray
  • Tune

Go to the track, run a number, and go home. Simple and effective. Just my .02

ill sell your my ~38k mile tr3650 with a shifter for $750 im getting a tko 600 anyways.

but in all seriousness stop being a baby and stick with your GT. thats what i did and its a few parts away from being perfect in my eyes. If i would of bought a mach 1.. i still would of ripped the motor out etc.. etc. If i woulda bought an 03/04 cobra. I would of put in a Built straight axle.. fuel system, turbo kit, full suspension, aluminum block. etc. Same thing i did with my GT. Yes, it's a 2v. but the heads flow more than the 3v heads.. thats what people dont know when they see that my car is just a 2v. If you want to go fast, you're going to spend money. NO MATTER WHAT CAR YOU HAVE. I LOVE my 2v Gt. It's loud, fast, and obnoxious. everything i want in a weekend driver, it's perfect for me.
