If you trade it in, below bluebook. If you sell it privately... blue book.
Your mods mean nothing to prospective buyers. you are better off taking most of that stuff off and selling it.

For a GT possibly. I've had a few people interested in my snake who really want it because of the work that has been done to it.

Now if you trade it into a dealership, then yes, they will rape you even if you have a lot of modifications put into it.

excatly thats why i would never do that im very against it. this doesnt have to do with cars but my family is into powerboating and we just recently got a ne boat but traded in the old one. the old one was worth about 90,000 and the dealer gave us 60 and we saw it listed from on the net from the dealer for 100 its just nuts

keep the gt man. you already put alot of money into it. if you want something fast, buy a bike. i may be buying a bike in the next couple months after i get the fines and stuff taken car of. lol. specifically cbr600f4i's. cheap, and really good on gas and extremely fun.

if you have a death wish!

do it...sell your stang and trade up to one you want...i just did the same thing. but trust me selling a car is not easy. i would return it to stock and sell your parts to get more money...

only a death wish if you f*ck around and not pay attention to what you are doing and what your surroundings are. yes, there are risks, but if you have your head screwed on right, then you wont have too many problems. lol

You can be the most attentive motorcycle rider in the world and still end up as a splat on some guys back window because he didn't see you.
