I am torn and can't decide...

FWIW, I think you made an excellent decision - that thing is HAWTE!
The modifications are very tastefully done and the extreme attention to care is evident everywhere - safekeeping of original parts, condition of edge of driver's seat, etc.
Have you given your boss the heads up that you'll be sick on Tuesday?

Tough decision because not only is the blue one a few grand cheaper, but it has a lot more HP = more fun
I got my s/c 2007 a bit over a year ago with 80k miles on it for $14k. No dings or dents. It had bald tires and no exhaust (it dumped onto the ground right before the rear axles) so those were extra expenses. It came with paxton Novi 2200 SL s/c ($6k value), hurst short throw shifter, saleen replica wheels, cowl hood.
I'd personally test drive both of those cars if they are within an hour drive to see which one feels nicer and if the blue one feels a lot more powerful. If the blue one has an unhealthy motor, falling apart, you would obviously want the red one. But the young man in me says i'd rather have the supercharged one
edit: congrats on the red one.. I bet she sounds very nice with the bassani. How much you get her for? like said, $19k seems steep unless she is 100% perfect/clean. I've seen guys on here get 2011 5.0 with low miles for low $20k's

Thanks, picking her up tonight. And yes she sounds very mean with the Bassini on her. Without considering the modifications to her(intake, exhaust, shifter, tuned, etc) she values at $22,500 in very good/excellent condition to KBB. I am paying $18749 for her, so slightly down from the $19k price tag. She has extremely low miles and she is in PRISTINE condition. No scratches or dings, immaculate interior, etc. And then you add on all the upgrades... trust me I am getting her at a steal. Plus I found out she has the IUP package which is an added bonus IMO. Plus he is giving me all the stock parts, which means I can sell the original exhaust and get some cash back which I have no qualms with.
