Hey what size rims are those because I love the way they look

Same interiors and build quality, too? I was looking beyond just the drive train of a car.

He said that he wants a fun car, he didn't say anything about the interior and build quality. But in answer, no, the Cadillac is a 50K dollar car, so it's obviously got the better interior and build quality.

A pullied GTP is nothing to sneeze at, however, the torque steer is ridiculous. A friend of mine had a damn nice bolton and pullied GTP that pulled very hard on the highway (sucked off the line due to FWD). Until he put it into a tree...but thats not the GTP's fault, my friend was being a schmuck.

Well dude still needs to answer the question... is this a DD? Looks like he's located in MA.. have fun with that 96-98GT in the winter. The interiors on the mustangs are garbage... at least the GTP will have something to offer (including **** that falls apart). The mustang is faster... but OP really needs to answer what his needs truly are.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Ford-...item19bc5e8214 on Ebay... 8k BIN. 61k miles and has a more powerful engine than the 96-98.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1996-...item439f531093 6.5k BIN OBO. 105k miles but its a 96 Cobra so that would give you 1.5k to do mods if you wanted to.
