Default My reasons for selling

1. Baby on the way (wife has a 328i BMW 2007)
2 .I never drive the car ( 6,000 miles since Feb 2007)
3. Saving on insurance and gas
4 Heat soak after 20 minutes turns this car into a big fat pig.
5 Negative equity is only 3K wihck I can eat at CarMax

My goal down the road is to pick up a an F-body 85 GT and stroke it to 331 and put a bad *** huffer on it.

Wish me luck

You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus being in the VA Beach area and being native Long Island NY boy I need to get my self a boat for some serious offshore fishing...

My wife wants to have a baby. There goes my forged block and i'm sure she'll throw a fit in a few years when I buy a honda hybrid as a daily driver and want to keep the stang as my fun car. Gas will be $6 in 3 years so I can't keep driving this thing every day.

My car doesn't feel like a pig after 20 minutes, maybe if I'm sitting in traffic for 20 minutes.

We all wish you luck.

But gotta admit it sounded like you were bad mouthing the gt.

You really can't beat the performance/quality for the price...not to mention the aftermarket..
