Get the 00' auto, Then add a shift kit, stall converter, and gears, and all the other bolt-on and you will be glad that you have the auto!!!!! You will be beating up on all the guys with the 5 speeds if you set up that auto trans.

RE: 98GT or 00GT
dont get either....in my opinion
the first thing you need to do is make your mind up if you want a 96-98, or a 99-04 for sure
i would get the 99-04 just because of the power issue, some people will say otherwise, but just test drive both,, ONLY with 5-speeds...
then look around for something you really like and can afford
but i wouldnt get a theft recovery car.. even if he says he only had to repaint or something,, if i were a theif, nad took out a 00GT i would destroy it,, mechanically speaking....
good luck though either way
