I have a 98gt right now but i want ot get into a 99+. I think i know just about all the changes done between 00 and 01. Headlights,scoops,new console w/ 6 changer, spoiler. And didnt they go to a tremec 3650 halfway threw 01? Would it be worth it to spend maybe a little more and get an 01 up?

JLstang-I'm in the same boat as you. I want a newer GT and possibly a vert but finding a good one is hard. I don't want to lose my shirt on my current car either. Good luck though, sorry I didn't contribute much.
Save up and get a DOHC motored car. Cobra or Mach 1. I wish I had forged internals. The Cobra is fully forged, while the Mach 1 only has a forged crank(manual). Its a big tradeoff. Affordable speed=GT. Reliability won't be as high as Cobra or Mach 1. Expensive speed=Cobra. THe Cobra will set you back a bit, but you know it will take 800-1000 hp. GT stock bottom end will take around 400 before stuff gets shakey. Mach 1 is around 500. Sorry if I didn't help you out that much, but honestly, I all too often contemplate trading in my GT for a screaming yellow Cobra vert (I work for FORD and get some crazy deals).
Well money is also an option here. payment and insurance. Right now My payment is $325 w/ 3 years left on my 98! I am only willing to go up to no more than $400 for my payment. So even if i get a 5 year loan i still wouldnt be able to get a mach 1. But I want one so bad!! The best deal i have found so far is a 01 w/ under 40k miles for $12,000. i am prolly going to go this weekend to look at that 01 gt. I will try to sell my car first, so i dont get ripped on a trade in. I just got a new job making a little more money so things will be looking good here soon. Heres a pic of my 98gt i want to sell. Looking to get around $9500 sound reasonable?
