AHHHH... To buy 5.0 or not to buy....

[SkarodoM]

Well.. i have the opportunity to buy a 5.0...

Ive always wanted a 5.0... a trusted friend has a '88 'vert with all options. Origional owner was the local District Atty's wife.. then a older woman bought it (yep.. he knows them heh) and now he's put 2kmiles out of a total 80k on it. Someone in a parking lot muffed up the front bumper, so he replaced it (instead of repairing it) and it needs to be painted. He has a saleen wing for it.. and painting isnt a problem b/c the uncle owns a custom paint/body shop and i do all my own work.. it'll cost me ~$150 for paint. Only bad things, its AOD and speed density (mebbe not too bad). I can easily get ahold of a t5 from him for ~$200 or less, i'd need other crap im sure.. but b/c of my job parts are cheap, especially tranny parts. I'd swap. When he got it.. he put a american thunder flow catback on it (issat 2chamber?), offroad H, bbk headers, eibach springs and somethin else. It'd be a daily driver b/c i already have the big angry black lump of malignant evil that is the 'maro.

Now the dilemma.. i love riding, and i have a R6 that a friend wants to buy. I love the bike.. but could get way more than enough to buy stang for it. As it is.. i rarely get to ride. Parts are cheap already.. and i get them at cost.. motorwork etc. i get supercheap from professional friends so... longterm project after big angry turbo 'maro.

So.. im pretty sure what you guys'll say but what do you think? sell bike and buy 'vert stang? Suggestions?

thnx
