Default Need some suggestions.

So I will be graduating college here soon. (august '10).

I am very happy with my current mustang but its lacking power.....

Ive been looking at used 2004 GT's with pretty low miles and there really not that expensive.

Nothing is wrong with my car and it only has 33k miles and is my daily driver. I KBB'd it and its worth somewhere around 7-8k if im lucky.

What im getting at is should I A: trade in the v6 and pick up a GT
B: Mod the V6
C: leave the car alone and wait for to die in order to save me some money.

The common sense in me is saying go with Option C but the other half of me is saying going with option A.

Will have to see what my financial situation is once I graduate and find a job.

So what does everyone else think? Im open for suggestions....

I am kinda attached to my mustang I know I would miss it if I were to sell it.

you are almost done with college. i say wait untill you see what your financial situation is going to be once you enter the workforce.

you never know, you may find that you could have got a 03 cobra instead of an 04gt if you wait.

I still want more power.... After driving all those cars at the ford dealership made me realize how slow my car was.... Then again there is no point in spending money when you dont have to .

You can get an 04 GT pretty cheap even with low miles. test drive one. it's not like you're gonna go drag racing every idiot who blows by you on the highway. But at a stoplight if someone wants to try you, You will be pleasantely surpised at the torque you get from a dig.. even with a bone stock boring GT.

Well when once I graduate my plans are

1) pay off loans
2) save for down payment on a house
3) buy a new car

But if you have the extra cash get a GT, you deserve as a gift to yourself for getting through school.
