is it worth it?

[ocbaud]

alright, so i was planning on picking up some vt stage1 cams this coming tax season and so a few other mods to my car.

then they announced the '08 bullitt coming out....

i plan on buying the bullitt, and get rid of my gt....

but i want cams so bad....

i dunno what to do. is it worth the money to buy cams even if i'm only keeping the car another year or so afterwards?

 

[Superhereaux]

i'd save for the bullitt

 

[98armygt]

buy the cams man. you got just about 2 years before it even comes out. you can save up plenty of money from now till then to buy the bullit. you dont have to replace the valve springs or anything like that with stage 1's. just get them and have fun with them. thats my suggestion.

 

[BlackenedSVT]

two years? IF they announced a 2008 bullit, it would come out this coming summer. About in August/september 2007. How do you figure 2 years?

I'd save for the new car UNLESS you are going to install the cams yourself. Then i would get the cams

 

[SaleenGT2001]

i'd just save up. 08 cars will be here in less than a year

 

[stangGT97]

Definitely save up. You'll be putting more money into a car that already depreciates faster than you can comprehend. Definitely keep the $500+install to put towards the new Bullitt.

i planned on getting stage1's so that i could do the install myself, which i would.

ford hasnt said a whole lot about it, but i imagine the bullitt will be released in 2008 as an '09 model???

 

[four six]

no I would say in 2007 as 2008 Bullitt.




SAVE SAVE SAVE

bullitt + new body style = MARK UPS

 

[Kilgore Trout]

No it is not worth it. Installing those cams will just empty your wallet and make your trade in worth less.

 

[StangPro]

The Bullitt was probably be a late car like the 01 was as a half year model, which means Jan 08 or later. You also don't know what it'll have. Might be color and trim only.

I'd mod the snot out of the GT until Ford gets "bold" and actually tels their customers what's going on.

Save the money for the new car, you will lose a lot of money. More money to spend on the Bullit

Another vote for not putting the cams in.

 

[ocbaud]

no cams then!

i do get to enjoy my subframe connecters that were installed a week ago though

depending on what we know at the time, i may end up waiting another year and get the "refreshed" model in '09

but plans of right now are picking up a bullitt when they arrive

 

[BlackenedSVT]

09 model...thats a long time from now. I'd say mod the GT if thats the case. Thats 2-3 years from now. Your GT will be worth nothing by then anyway (mods or not).

I say mod the GT, and in 2-3 years sell it to some highschool kid lookin for a car and THEN go buy your bullit.

Sell the car now, get a daily driver econobox and drive that with the $ in the bank. This is the best way to save your $ from devaluing.

haha, this is my daily driver

and if i get rid of it for something else, i wont have a mustang to drive



edit: thanks for moving to talk, i meant to put it here in the first place!

Jr.... just save for the new Bullitt coming out. Why put your money into that slow 2V?
