Default may be trading the stang off...

I'm loosing interest in the performance world. Although building the ultimate 6 was in my mind, its long gone due to the "depression" and I'm going more economical. I've found some Chevy canyon's I've became interested in, and found a possible trade that route.. I'm really a car person, but versatility of a truck has won me over.. I'm really looking for more MPG's, Comfort, versatility, and try to achieve some nice look out of it.. someone change my mind!

No offense and all, but you pretty much have a stock 99-04 V6 mustang. Not saying there is anything wrong with that, but there are a lot of other cars I would trade that in for over a truck. If you don't think you are going to build it, then sell it, but don't think your going to get better gas mileage in a truck.

its not the price of the cobras but the cost of insurance that kills you.

Slam a colorado huh. I just don't know what to say about that, but I guess you would've had use for your 20s then.

They work on some cars. Most people get the shitty looking ghetto 20s. Very few people do it right, but I guess you gotta pay big money for the nice ones.

The viper is a little different, wider wheel wells and longer wheelbase. The main reason why most people here don't like big wheels is because 20's = slow. More rotating mass/ unsprung weight. Doesn't matter for you anyway, because you're all about show and no go. Plus 20's look like crap on any Mustang before '05.

yeah i could use my 20's haha, only reason i have em on now is to wear the tires out on em, so if i sell em, i could sell em for cheap so somebody would buy em, and possibly use em on a truck or something.. i dunno, but i keep liking colorado/canyon's more! Like the l5 cyl on em sounds just like a viper engine. youtube and compare, its shocking! But i dunno im headin the truck route.... i was watchin 0-60 vids and theyre slower than ****, makes my car look like a S7 in takeoff..

I was looking at the new 5.3L v8 colorado's when i was interested in a new vehicle. It was quick for a truck, kinda.... But I mean, I just got in it and almost ran outa the dealership the inside was so nasty. Just keep the stang if you're interested in a small truck. They're not worth it.

Sometimes it is better to stay the course. That truck will get worse mpg then the sixer.

Sell the 20's...they are eaten gas...and keep the stang.
