New Car or make 94GT Like New?

CmS1994MustangGT · 07-16-2002, 09:25 PM

Hello everyone!
I have a question for all you mustang people. I'll tell u the story real quick first. I got a new job that's about 1hr away and with 3:73 gears it hurts the gas mileage but that's ok. I'm debating BUYING a new GT/Cobra (drools over 03 cobra) but the insurance will go up and my monthly payments (I'm only 20). Or buying a long block that's reliable and puts out good HP and blower rdy. What would cost more? My car right now has over 100,000 miles and still runs like a champ with some extra noises. Plus if I get a new block, then that means I have an old block, which is always good for project cars

. All of your input would be great. Thanks again and keep kicking the sh$t out of those Chevys! LATER.

It all depends on you. If you like your car, keep it and get a long block with a blower. If you would like to sell it (sounds like you have a big interest in the cobra's), you can always get a 99 cobra, but then again your insurance would go up. Its all up to you. I think If you got a long block with a blower, your currently car would be a really fun car to drive

. My 2 cents.

There's nothing like building your own motor and being able to say yeah, I birthed this beast of a machine!

But it's going to cost you both ways. Good luck in deciding

Keep her. I feel that insurance is basically throwing money out the window. At least with the older car, you could use that saved cash to mod the new long block
