Friend is looking for a late model GT - need advice on how to help him get one

[Unit 5302]

Mach 1 with the auto tranny. Way more performance, better sound, nicer car, better engine, and a better tranny.

Since he's not going to mod it, he might be disappointed with the 94-98 GT performance, especially the 96-98s, which are 15 sec cars from the factory. Extended warranties are also not really an option on these older cars.

Also, I thought my 01-02 GTs sounded more like a school bus at lower rpms, finally really making sweet music right at redline.
