Nice miles for a 98. Now you have to start saving for some mods!

Good to see a GT back in the mix. I'd lose the pinstriping though. Smile

That's going to be a great reliable daily driver. The best advice I can give you is to leave it stock.

If you insist on modding....buy a canned turbo kit designed for that car, have someone do a perf. build for the trans and call it good.


How are those tires in the snow?

Welcome. I had red pinstripes on my car when I bought it a few years ago. They stayed on for a while, then I realized how much I liked the car better once they were off. But they're not bad, just might look better w/o them.

Whoever owned it before me took the linings out? I dunno,I like the look though. And to the comments on the tires,theyre awsome in the snow. Im gonna buy them again when I need new ones but theyre brand new so I dont think im gonna have to worry for a while. Thanks for the comments on the car,glad to be on a forum with welcoming people Very Happy
