It's not the money. I self imposed a budget for the GT and I don't want to spend anymore. I'm more bugged out by the springs not lowering the car as much as advertised.
Sell the Pype Bombs, run the stockers for a bit until you scrape up the rest of the dough. The Roush kit is still one of the cheapest without going with an actual muffler delete kit.
Yeah, that would be frustrating. Springs are not fun to swap out.
Awe, you punk. I wanted that Eleanor grill too. You are right, the car really doesnt look lowered much, but you did downsize to 18's from the 19's too. To be honest though, I like it the way it is. The Bullitt car was supposed to be understated, so IMO a car riding on Bullitt wheels fits the style better when it isnt slammed down. I bet if nothing else you at least got better handling out of the springs.
I have owned just about everything. 5.0 Foxes, I built two Mod Fox's, I've had plenty of 95 GT's, had a Procharged 5.0L, a 2000 GT, 96-97 Cobras and I now have a Whippled 04 Cobra.
I don't know. It's a tough decision. Do you want to spend the 20-25K? Then you get the car and it's perfect and you don't wanna drive it. You don't want to leave it. On all my other cars, I didn't care. They've already been painted, and messed with, so if something happened, I'd just paint it again or whatever. If it got a ding, I wouldn't let it ruin my day.
But with the 04 all that is different....and it has started to make me wonder is this worth it? 6,500 miles in 3.5 years??? 400 miles last summer? Really? I had more fun with a $5,000 fox body. Slow yes, but more fun. I've been debating selling it. 2004, 11,950 miles, Whipple, almost 600rwhp. I'd rather have my old 91 black notch with a 5.0L 5spd that made 190rwhp. For me nowadays, it's not about how much power, it's just about crusing. I got just as many compliments, if not more on this old black notch.

Hey I don't blame you for leaving it alone. If I sell mine,...it's inevitable that I'll end up w/ something late model. Just like my GTO's before the current car, it ran and did everything well enough that I saw no need to make improvements other than a cat back. I won't even do that on a new car if I end up w/ one in the next 6 months.
Lars, I just made my first payment yesterday.I just ordered the 20" Shelby CS40's for her in silver. I wanted a set of Vossen wheels, but just couldnt justify the price when there are others (such as the CS40's) that I could get with tires for the same as the Vossen wheels alone. I'll post pics when I get them on next week.
LarsD...you're right, I haven't posted in forever. The layout drives me nuts...hell...I don't even know where the quote button is. lol Anyways...I think just not having projects anymore along with a lot of new members on here, I don't even visit anymore. I've had about 10 good years on SN and met some cool "internet friends." Two of my best friends right now...I met on here man. They both were in my wedding. Sounds crazy but we are all exactly alike.
95BlueStallion...I saw you're reply and yeah, the bug smashing thing is annoying...my 04 Cobra had one TINY TINY stone chip at the front edge of the hood too before I even handed the check over to the guy. I'm pretty sure I picked up the 2nd one on the way home that cold cold nasty day. All I can say is enjoy it...drive it. That's my plan this summer, I'm gonna insure it today before this weekend and just go enjoy it. I've thought of selling it, but maybe I should give it one more summer. I don't think it'll lose value. The prices on these things still haven't moved since I was looking and bought mine in December 2008. I'm just gonna ask what I paid.
If I get a tire kicker that wants to compare mine to "this other guys" he can turn around and get the hell off my property. Ok buddy...go buy that one then...see ya. lol. 04 with 11,000 miles and my mods is hard to find.
