getting rid of the 88 5.0


Kid wants to trade me a 89 gt black with grey interior, it has 102k on it with b303 cam bbk headers and dumped flowmasters ported intake adjustable fuel regulator msd cap rotor button and wires underdrive pullies k&n cold air intake aluminum driveshaft and short and throw shifter, and 3:73's. Up against my car that has 100k miles, e303 cam, 1.6 rr, bbk equal lengths, h pipe into mac mufflers, cobra upper and lower, fuel pressure reg., short shifter, 4:10's, a/c p/s and smog delete, and bbk drag launch springs. He took me for a ride yesterday and the car didn't feel that quick, definitely slower then mine granted the kid couldnt drive 2 save his life. but What do you guys think? His car is in better cosmetic condition then mine.

You seemed to already have answered your own question. If you care that much about the performance.... stick to your hatch.

i don't have any pics of the gt, but i think i'm going to keep my car just because of the performance aspect. I could careless how good i look rolling up because when it comes down to it speed is what really matters to me
