Decision on buying car.......
Hey guys, new to posting, not to the site.
My wife and I have a 06 mustang gt.....basically stock. We have an opportunity to purchase on 03 GT with a fully built motor, Procharger, drag radials, and other stuff I cant remember off the top of my head. The guy manages the service department at the ford dealership....so I know it's not been thrown together. The car has been dynoed 523 rwhp and 508 ft. lbs.
He's only asking 18000 for it and i can trade in the stock 06 (which we owe as much as its worth)......but I would just like to know if any of ya'll have any opinions on the swap.....I'm real sentimental about my cars and I dont want to trade that one in but it's so stinkin slow........ And i know i wont be able to ever put a supercharger or make that much power with the 06. But is it stupid to trade on 06 in for an 03? Just curious what ya'll would do....got till Monday.

never heard anyone call a gt even that was stock slow, but i guess its up to the individual person. i agree with 2k1gt, its probally been beat to hell, i would stick with your GT. plus its more fun to build it up yourself, then buying a finished product that was someone else's baby.

RE: Decision on buying car.......
Well, it's not "slow",,,,persay but it's not as fast as I want it...plus it's an auto...(wifes car)...the car has 52K miles on it but the drivetrain has only 2K. I do sub-contract work at that dealership and have been going there for almost 2 years. This dude has been a nut about this car....he changes the spark plugs with the oil and he does that about once a month with mobil 1. He needs a 4 door and that's why he's selling it
