If you can handle the coin, go for it.

Reset the other one to stock, sell all the parts you won't re-use, and re-invest the loot into goodies for the 500

Can't believe you even had to ask... lol. I'd give a nut to buy one of those below MSRP, just bought a used 'vette convertible and honestly I'd have rather added $150 to the payments and bought a new GT500.

You won't have to buy a new alternator. But if I could afford to trade out for a GT500 I wouldn't think twice. I wouldn't miss my current car cause I know that the the new one will get modded just the same...

So I voted YES DO IT!!!
thx Bruce..still will need to change out the alternator...I have one on the way from hotairgypsy....thx for the advice on the gt500....

I have posted it for sale in the classifieds...it will be hitting the autotrader as soon as I get confirmed delivery date etc...this does not mean I definitely will get it yet...allot of other factors still...main one is if I cant sell my car then the GT500 is a definite no..I truly am not looking to tear it down to stock either....so we will see what happens...if it is meant to be...then the signs will start with my car selling...if not I still have an awesome car and thats that...TJ

TJ, if you do end up selling, could I get your hose kit from you?

I actually would consider selling the saleen and various parts (For a great price) to a LOCAL mechanically inclined person who would come over and help return my vehicle to stock....
