don't drop it past 1.5" and you won't have to worry about not being able to get it aligned correctly...that is if you don't have C&C plates...as for shocks/struts blowing out. That'll depend on how good they are now...my old v6 had cut springs for 2 years w/ no issues...and my GTs had them cut for around 8 months now.

also the insurance myth gets on my nerves lol...my GT costs me less a month for the same covereage then my v6...and now that i have a new v6 i'll be talking them down to less then what i'm paying now

I have less than 30K miles on my car so I'd imagine my shocks and struts are fine. How many coils did you cut for your drop?

well i do 1.25 coils off the front and 1 coil off the back...leave the isolators and drive it around for a bit to see if you like the drop...if you want it a tad lower you can pull isolators

Alright. How much is an alignment these days?

2 wheel alignments usually run in the $40-50 range around here

keep the V6 until you want to buy something really fun like a cobra. the way i look at it is the 99-04 gt's are nice looking and sound great but are the slowest of the trans am, camaro, and 350z of those years so i wouldnt want to have that in the back of my head, but when you get a 03/04 cobra (ignoring the supercharger part since you can easily add that to a gt) you get a nice 6 speed, better interior and exterior (love the back bumper), and a motor that can already withstand a lot

i'll have to disagree with you on him not getting a GT if he can afford one...it's a nice upgrade in power over the v6, and from what i can tell you really don't know much about them.

oh and on your track time under your avatar...we don't need a full blown story about why your car went down the track slowly...just a time and mph will suffice

Hey man, what kind of price range, mileage, color, etc. are you looking for? I can help you search if you want for some good GT's around your area.

SON1C · March 7th, 2011, 03:30 PM

after thinking about it more and looking around, I think I may just save and go for an 04 mach 1 or termi, what do you guys think? I haven't been able to find any gt's for a good price with the things i'm looking for

If you're in that price range, go for it. I'd also say within that price range that I wouldn't shy away from some 3v S197s as well!

i dont think i'll move into the s197 style until I can get my hands on a 5.0
