better brakes, suspension, rims, bumpers, headlights, hood, motor, interior, and resale value although they are selling for barely more then the gt and the gauges are the only difference in interior. i just love the way they look, i just dont know if i wanna do my motor and fix it all up, get a 94 cobra or gt, or a 96 gt. i guess ill just have to see what is available when i get the money. id also like to trade mine in instead of going through the hassle of trying to sell it.

Just things to think about, coming from a former SN95 owner. Plus, what is the fun of owning a vehicle you don't want to immediately improve yourself.

Buy a house or pay off bills, anything but a car! Take the advise of someone who's been through this. I got an insurance settlement a few years ago. Instead of buying a car that I will either get tired of or will depreciate, I bought property. Now my wife and I are building a dream house that has $50k in equity ALREADY and had no trouble getting a loan for because we put so much down in equity. We are getting a $185k value for $130k. All of this with an initial investment of $21k. So buy a house or payoff bills. The money you save will buy you all the toys you want.
A co-worker of mine and his 3 brothers each got $70k in March when their dad passed away. None of the 4 has a pot to piss in now because they pissed it all away. Sure they have nice cars, but they are back to pawning stuff to pay bills and 2 have even sold their nice cars because they got too spend happy and threw their money away. One spent $20k in car stuff (not including price of car) at Ramsey's for a car that won't go in the 12's. He now wants a new motor but doesn't have the money to finish it (most of it is already paid for sitting at the shop waiting on the rest of the money) because his salary won't even cover his monthly bills.
I'm not saying you would be as bad as these idiots are, but its easy to get stars in your eyes when you are suddenly rich. Please sit down and think it out long and hard before jumping into wasting money on a car.

Ramsey's = pay 3x as much as any place else and go just as fast as the person who spent 1/3...
He builds great motors for those who are rich/don't care or himself, but I have yet to see something come out of that shop that wasn't his that impresses me..
Besides, his main wrench turner works @ fordspeed now...
