Super clean looking 98, I like it a lot. How come it doesn't have leather though? and what are your plans for it?

Saleen wheels, Springs and tint STAT! Man, part of me really misses my '98. They can be really clean little cars, just require more work to make fast. Great looking car!

I personally would rather have the 98 5 speed over the 04 auto vert.

How do you like driving a standard? My Mach is my first 5 speed too, it's a whole different experience.

so let me get this right...

you sold a very nice clean looking 04 GT... to get into a 98 GT with a rolled back odometer... just because the 98 was a 5speed?

you DO know that they made 2002-2004 manual also right.

1999-2001 also had manuals. Come to think of it, 2005-2010 has a manual as well. Oh and pre 1998 had manuals as well.

I like how you automatically assume that it has a rolled back odometer. Some people just don't put a lot of mileage on their vehicles. I'm one of them.. I drive about 3 miles per day, so my weekly average is around 15 miles. Multiply that by the number of weeks in a year, and I only put about 800 miles on my car annually. Granted, there are times when I take road trips, etc., but those aren't the norm.

WOW, I really hope that Mach has a HD aftermarket clutch.. lol

First standard car is a car with 300+ RWHP. Certainly "different."

Haha yeah it does, I've got the hang of it pretty fast though. I'm not hard on the clutch at all now.

LOL. That's why I was debating whether or not to even try to buy that whippled GT I posted a while ago. My first stick car would have 450rwhp

Driving a stick is really not that hard whether it's a 150hp car or 500hp. It's the clutch that may cause a bit of an issue, but as long as you don't dump the thing, you'll be fine.
