Aviator motor sounds like a good direction, but I'm thinking that possibly the best route is to buy a low mile Mach and swap in my IRS again. Maybe grab a DSG SN finally. 
I figure that even if I was to get a new motor in this car there are still a number of issues I would need to work out. ABS has never worked, brake master cylinder started to hiss, creaks and groans. I am still not sure which is the most wise decision, but I think that is what I want to do.

You're right in assuming. Best color... Maybe only second to the color I have now.

Nope, I'm pretty sure I meant what I said.

I wouldn't argue with Comp Orange, but my girlfriend is not too excited about it. I think DSG, Azure, Comp Orange, and black are my order of color preference. I saw an Azure the other day at a car show, and when I walked past it one time I honestly thought "This isn't where I parked my car." It almost looks like a non-metallic version of Bright Atlantic Blue. Pretty cool. I'm still really not sure. It is kind of dependent on if I get this internship I'm gunning for, or if I stay at the place I've been working at. Either way should be close, but the internship would offer me a lot more hours, and time is money.

Matte will only make you want to wash more lol. If you get far away from a dirty glossy car, it still looks glossy. If you look at a matte car with any dirt at all on it, it looks like it hasn't moved in decades.
Ask me how I know

I'm trying to buy another buddy's 03 GT right now. Met him through the CA Mustangs Club. He's got the 01 Cobra front bumper, 03 Cobra rear (shaved letters)/skirts/mirrors/black interior, Mach 1 c-pillars, IRS swap, built T56 and Maximum Motorsports' entire catalog of suspension. Only thing it needs is a built 4v. Which I will build on the side! Need to sell my V6 first though!

lol that last comment was aimed at pete, in case he, for some reason, buys a Mach in the wrong color

Speaking of Cobra bumpers... I picked up an 03/04 Cobra rear bumper last night. I'm not really a fan of the Fobra look, but a free bumper painted any color I wanted changed my tune a little bit. I've always liked the look, just not so sure about how I like COBRA on my bumper.
