Hey guys, I've been a part of this forum for a while, I have a 95 GT auto and I just recently found a 95 ST that has less mileage than mine (125k compared to my 225k) and it is also a manual. I was just wondering if there are any ST owners out there who have owned both the ST and GT or have compared both. Is it worth dropping down to a ST model. I like the fact that this ST I'm thinking about purchasing is a manual and has 100k less miles than mine but I just wanna get some advice from some of you guys. Should I keep my auto GT or would i be better off with the manual ST. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys. -------------------- "I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car than win by an inch because someone else built it for me"

Yep, that's what I was going to do before I gave up on FWD. Find a black GT, then you can go and paint it whatever colour you'd like on the outside and all of the jambs and it'll still look right. Should be able to find one with a bad/blown engine with a good manual trans for under $1,000.
