I might have a chance to acquire a Mach 1 in the near future, but I'm not sure if i want to. I love the car, but I've already put a decent amount of money into mine (although some of the stuff can be easily swapped over). Would switching to a mach be worth the money I'd lose, or should i just get a Mongoose kit like i've wanted to for a while? I like my car a lot, but i love the sound of the 4V to be completely honest..

Tough call, but I did the trade a few years back, (my '02 GT with some mods for a '03 Mach) I'm glad I did. Some of my mods like you said transfered over as well, like my exhaust and steeda shifter. Other mods some fit some didn't, and just sold them cause I didn't want them any more like gears, springs, CAI, CnL Elbow, Saleen spoiler. 4v seems to respond al lil better then the 2v in the mods department. Also the burble of the 4v at low RPMs and the scream at WOT alone are worth the price of admission. Not to mention u feel like a badass behind wheel peering over teh shaker

Do you owe more on the GT than you will get for it in trade?

Upside down means you owe more to the bank than the car is worth.

When you trade it in you will have to carry the balance over, this is a sucker's game.

Do not trade when you are upside down PERIOD.

cause they dont have a body kit and lots of chrome?

mach1's need very little to be amazing. the look rad, go fast, have decent suspension, pretty good brakes, and are a wheel/tire package away from looking downright sick.

If it's paid off, blow it and make it a beast. a 2v that rapes face on the street impresses me more than a mach1/cobra with a pulley and tune. just my $0.02
