Default Thinking of buying a car....

....Brianteels (from L67swap.com) 96 GP with the L67 swap and 5 speed swap with mods is up for sale for $6000, I am seriosely tempted to take him up on the offer, but id have to sell the Bonne, so im torn. It is a solid 13 second car and it may be in the 12s with the 5 speed, what should I do?

HARD CHOICE, you put alot into the ssei that if you sold it i doubt anyone else would appreciate so you probably wouldnt get your money back hardly...

Take half of the 6 grand, put it in to the Regal, and keep the other 3 grand for yourself.

you're screwing the math all up. he takes 3000, puts it into the regal, and then gives me the other 3000 so I can buy a bonnie.

I'd stick with what you have. I have heard that the 5 speed he used isn't really known for its reliability under higher HP situations.

That sounds like what I'd do......
(actually I'd dump the entire 6 grand into the Regal.... hehe )
