And yes Autos are reliable and fun to drive, i personally dont veleive a T5 vs. an AOD will affect resale value, its all in the eye of the buyer, but check out lentechautomatics.com for some serious valve bodies for the AOD

and FRPP for gears, can be had at summitt racing, 3.73's are a good gear ratio for both highway and street use, installing requires specialty tools: unless you have bearing pullers, bearing press, backlash guage, calipers, "lb torque wrench, ft. lb torque wrench, amongst others i would take it somewhere....jmo

Do you think it's more wise for me to put $$$ in to this gt or keep my 85.5 Porsche 944 and put money into that instead?

There are fewer 944's than fox body's....

^^ Just be careful... I almost lost it in the rain last night. It was my fault though since I was trying to see how hard I could floor it without spinning tires.... it was like 2 in the morning and noone on the road though lol
