Have to Get Rid of One Car...Which One?

One car has gotta go! Help us pick which one


07 GT Coupe with 3,500 miles and the following mods:

JLT CAI - JBA longtubes/OR H-pipe/axlebacks - SCT Xcal2 - Prothane billet MMs - 3.73s - Dyno Tuning by Tillman - Steeda Ultralites - Tokico Dspecs - Steeda UCAs - BMR LCAs/panhard bar - FRPP stud girdle - Cervinis Type VI hood - 3D Carbon splitters - CDC classic chin spoiler - MAG mirror caps - SHR louvers - CDC ducktail/black billet grille/decklid trim.

If we sold the coupe, we'd take off a good deal of the mods (with the exception of the headers and some of the suspension components) and put them on the convertible.



04 SVT Lightning with 38,000 miles, never modified. One of the cleanest ones I've ever seen.



We'd save an extra $130 a month by selling the Mustang instead of the Lightning. The funny thing is, according to Autotrader, the Lightning is only worth $1,000 less than the Mustang even though it's 3 years older and has 34,500 more miles! But we have more invested in the Mustang.

Keep the Lightning. Sometimes you need to haul stuff, right?

Seriously, you got two mustangs, one lightning... mod the vert, and have the best situation from two you can have outta the three.

There's always a need for two Mustangs...it's just that our WANTS have changed (i.e. newer house)

The lightning hands down I wouldn't even think twice. Harder and harder to find a nice one every day!

I'd offer you the mirror caps as a freebie but you already switched to the Agents!

Haha thanks anyways! Thought that counts right? I'm still holding out for the headrests and HID's, should it ever come to that
I think your vert is near perfect though, and drop tops are more fun honestly so its an easy choice for me!

How can you people not drive your Mustangs? You have clue at what you are missing

I drive my vert plenty...but I carpool on a daily basis, so...same reason many people have daily drivers. I drove a Mustang daily from the age of 17 to 24.

I drove/used a truck for 20 years before I went to cars not to long ago. I haven't missed the truck to much at all. I have rented the menards truck a few times. Those lightnings are sweet trucks to say the least
