I bleed mustang oil, BUT...my wife has the 99 Ws6 and it's VERY nice. I really like it and it gives my 306 a run for the money besides being extremely comfortable. It's NOT the choice for me, just saying, it's not only comfortable but also powerful. I'd take my '89 fox over it any day though. BTW, the 99 WS6 came with a mistake-that particular year model TA came with the corvette LS1 rated @ 345 hp instead of the usual 305hp the camaro had. At least that's what the note in the owners manual said.

345hp.. and you wonder why itll give your 306 a run for its money...

I've never found the camaro or firebirds to be comfortable at all. I feel like i'm laying down driving it. My 87 rx7 was the same way.

But on a more serious note... My Cobra will be getting a full black interior when I get home. Which I could include in the sale if someone were interested in buying it.

And for the "but you can get 500hp" comment... Yes, 500hp is possible out of the wrx... Right after I put ~4-5k in drivetrain mods in place, a $3500 turbo system, and a $6000 long block... Not something I'm interested in doing. I wanted a DD, not another driveway ornament!

For $1500, get the Stang. The windows are an easy fix. They get either a Ford Racing 306 crate engine and put some 3.73 gears in it. It will make a nice driver.
