Final Edition or \'97 Blue/White GTS ?? State your case!
Here's the deal- I have an '02 FE #304 with 2000 miles on it that is absolutely mint. I also have always wanted the 96-97 Blue with white stripes. The older models have forged internals including pistons which the "creampuffs" do not. I plan on adding a supercharger at some point and know the forged pistons are a plus. I have an opportunity to buy a Blue GTS with some minor mods, exhaust, gears,shifter, etc that has about 12,000 miles on it. I can make the swap and put a few grand in my pocket. Both cars are very nice.
* The question is how many of you would be willing to drop back 6 model years to make the swap?
* What would be fair pricing on the FE and Blue White GTS from a dealer?(I have my ideas but would like yours)
* Any comments on future collectibility/value retention FE vs Blue/White GTS?
*Would you be willing to do a DLM level 2 or similar set up on an '02? Or would you be more comfortable adding significant RWHP to the '97??
Let's bang this one around and get some meaningful feedback- Thanks <font color="blue"> </font>
