05 GT or Supercharger?
I was thinking about saving for a 05-10 GT or supercharging the 03 GT I have now. I like the body style of the 05 better but I feel more comfortable sitting in the 03. Having a hard time deciding what I should do. Though part of me wants to keep a car long enough to actually mod it and make it one of a kind and the other wants the body style.

I'd go for the 05-09 GT. The body style is nicer IMO, the interior is cool(albeit plasticky), and the engine is more powerful. You can always mod the 05+, supercharge it and all, and even if you don't, you'd have a better car. Again, just my 2 cents. The 05+ are pretty affordable nowadays too.

If you can swing both. When you get the 05 you will probably sink some money into exterior visuals, so many options with them. It's all in good fun

My dad is giving me 6K for the car I have now. I only have to save up 8k. In three years ill be able to make around 21k if I save every penny so ill probably have money to get the new one an mod both a good amount.

Why no love for the auto? With a right tune and a shift kit it's faster and more consistent than a manual. In terms of shifting. Either way supercharge it and it won't really matter ill still have around 400 to the wheels.

Also, about the auto (depending on where you're at in you automotive history) you'll find a stick (once practiced) to be a lot more fun. It's a hassle sometimes with traffic, phone talking, eating/drinking but I think we'd all agree that those three things should never happen in or around your mustang. lol
Find a Bullitt! Those are slick looking!
Down shifting, exhaust burbling, quick revs, redlight taunting, dump clutch burnouts... so many pros to driving a stick! Plus... back in High School & College every girl wanted to learn how to drive (no pun) stick, and you could be the guy to teach them... just saying...

I'd say move up in years. You'll still be getting more power than your '03 and a whole new car (to you). Look hard for one with the perfect combination of low miles, plentiful options, and low price. I'd recommend one fairly stock (most likely in better shape).
