Hey guys, I've been a part of this forum for a while, I have a 95 GT auto and I just recently found a 95 ST that has less mileage than mine (125k compared to my 225k) and it is also a manual. I was just wondering if there are any ST owners out there who have owned both the ST and GT or have compared both. Is it worth dropping down to a ST model. I like the fact that this ST I'm thinking about purchasing is a manual and has 100k less miles than mine but I just wanna get some advice from some of you guys. Should I keep my auto GT or would i be better off with the manual ST. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks guys. -------------------- "I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car than win by an inch because someone else built it for me"

Thanks for all of the advice guys, unfortunately the seller of that ST raised the price way too much. So I'm sticking with my GT. I told myself that when my current engine blows up (the 5SFE) I'm gonna do a manual/engine swap to a beams 3sge or a 3sgte. So it will only be a matter of time.

I'm gonna drive it til it blows and then swap it. well 8 years later, just over 200k and still not gonna blow. hahaha.

And that's not a bad idea, keep my auto GT for my daily and do an engine swap in another GT....Hmmm I'll have to ponder on this option now. -------------------- "I'd rather lose by a mile because I built my own car than win by an inch because someone else built it for me"
