I dont know really, Just considering it.
Im kinda falling outa love with the car. I guess my reasons are as follows... (in no order)
1. I guess the car isnt me
2. I think im a bit old for it
3. After the breakin im really not impressed with the ***** of the car. I mean its fast and the numbers say its faster than alot of cars I just dont feel it. My 2000 SS camaro put me in the seat more than this car.
4. Im an American Muscle head. Always have been. This was my leap into the rice rockets and I just dont feel it.
5. Comfort. The car is really not comfortable at all.
6. No sound system. I guess I could put one in...
7. Its my every day car and steping out of it in a suit kinda makes me feel silly..
Thats about it. The car is fast and fun maybe 10 years ago I would have liked it more.
Not sure what im going to get but here are my choices..
Corvette
SVT Cobra Stang

My suggestions:
1. Buy new seats
2. Put in a stereo system
3. Trade in the wing for something less austentacious
4. Performance mods.
In the long run youll save money.

Thats to bad that you don't like it anymore. But I get the impression you aren't going to take the suggestions above because you probably would already have at least put in a stereo. Have you looked at the new GTO what do you think of that because it doesn't seem getting out of a mustang in a suit would look any more grown up.

I do still like the car. Dont get me wrong. Its a sweet fun ride. It just doesnt feel "Me"
Im getting married in about 6 months so I really cant go on some spending spree and hook up my band new car.
15k? LOL Add another 10k and maybe ill take you out to dinner.
I Live in NY
To respond to the sugestions...
1. New seats? Nahhh not after paying 30k for a car.
2. Thats always an option. Gotta make a decision first if im keeping it.
3. Also possible, See above.
4. Mods seem sweet. But im hearing all these nightmare stories. CELS, Ruff Idle, ect.. Im not really into breaking my brank new 30k toy. Now with a Cobra you never hear these problems, or they are much more rare.

I can show you how to make that car run low 12s and handle like a Corvette for around $4k total. It'll be easy to drive and absolutely no reliability would be sacrificed. But, that doesn't matter if you just don't like the car. If you think it's uncomfortable stock, than you should try the GTO. Same straightline speed but a lot more comfort. Just don't chase an STi around a racetrack.

Sounds like you need a Dodge Hemi Magnum. Cost is around the same as an STi, but slightly lower. It's a wagon, rwd, V8, and has 340 hp. It only comes in automatic though.

ok I have changed my mind. I took my baby out and gave her a good wash.
I then went out looking for things I could do to make me happy.
Im currently installing an Audio/Video system in the car. Alpine DVD ect. Its gonna be sweet and make driving the car so much better.
I dont know how I survived this long without music in my machine. I think thats the main reason why I was losing my atraction with the car. I was bored while driving.
Either way, im also interested in some body work. Getting Rid of the wing and maybe adding some ground effects.
Also I would love to hear how 4k will get me low 12's and handle like a vette. Do tell...
