[QUOTE="Makobra, post: 16424751, member: 193575"] Okay so here's the problem. You didn't start with something you love because its just a math question for you. I've got a little over half that in my 97 cobra and cannot wait to drive this thing. why? because i started with something that looks the way I want it to look, has some good bits, and just needs refinement. I think i'd be just as happy if i started with a GT, probably happier since i've spent a ton of money and time chasing down answers and parts for this frankenstein mess of a modded cobra. I spent two years mulling over why I'm even into cars, why i can't let it go, and then I made a list of all the cars i really love. then i set out to "build" a couple cars virtually on a spreadsheet. it came down to 350Z vs SN95. I ended up with the cobra. a GT500 at the end of the day is just a better mustang just like my cobra at bottom is just a better mustang. i guess the difference is there's a premium for GT500's which you seem to not value. the 20K you spent is 5K more than my total build budget including car. it'll probably hit 20 eventually but by then it'll be five nines of awesome. my advice? think about what you REALLY want to DO with a car and then get your next project based on that. otherwise you'll just keep burning up funds stabbing in the dark at some target you don't even understand.
