you know i wanted to do the same thing a few months ago, but after awhile i really sat down and thought about it. i thought if i would ever get my v6, i would be happy, because it would be so much better than my 92 honda accord. then after not even a year of owning it i wanted to get a gt because the six was slow. from everyone i talk they always want something bigger and better than what they currently have. to me is almost seems like greed, because it seems as soon as we become accustomed to something we want better. so when is it ever going to stop? i'm not telling you not to get it, because if you want it and can afford it, go for it. i too have gone through this dilemma and each time, stick with the six. in the end i feel like it is going to have more sentimental value to me because what it meant when i did get it versus what i gt would mean to me.

sorry for the long post just stating my two cent, for whatever it is worth.

I know someone who might buy the wheels....and what cai do you have? do you still have to stock one that you could swap back in? Oh and also to JT how much would a M-90 swap increase a 95's hp?

An M-90, on an otherwise stock engine, would net approx 50 rwhp, port and polish the intake, approx 60 rwhp, do a cam swap along with the s/c and pp, approx 70-80 rwhp, cam swap, heads, pp, and s/c, approx 90-100 rwhp. All in all, it's a decent way to get a nice bit of power.
