i know i talked about it awhile ago and just wanted to let u guys know that i think im gopnna be selling the 98GT twin turbo, it was either keep it and get a built block and built transmission and bump up the boost to 500+HP which it would make easy, but i looked into it some and its just looking like im not gonna be able to afford it (at least not when im in school and gas is $4.29) so im gonna probably be putting it in the autotrader here soon, im gonna start high and try to get what i can for it. Thanks guys and remember i really dont have to sell this it would just make my life a whole lot easier with some extra cash, now for the car:

The car was a stolen recovery before i had it therefore it recieved an R-Title
It has the Street Lethal Twin Turbo Kit on it
(2) 50mm Garret turbos
Custom piping
AJE tubular K-member
UPR CC plates
Front coilover kit
dropped approx. 1.5 all the way around (rears cut)
17x9/10.5 deep dish chrome bullits
New front Monroe Struts
SCT chip and SCT mass air meter
breather air filter on valve covers
255lph fuel pump, 42lb injectors
new front end alignment
steeda tri-ax short throw
3.55 FRPP gears
i may be forgetting some things but i will post them as i remember
all built and tuned by Terry at Street Lethal Performance
the car made 344RWHP and 425ft. lbs of TQ at only 9psi
this car is capable of making alot more power with a few more things done do it (PI swap)

i bet that turbo kit was pretty pricey. You just got it done too didnt you? You will never get close the money you put into the car, and i agree with the guys you will regret it. Just be content with 344rwhp and a butt load of tq for now. Id rather have that power and a nice looking car than selling it and buying a beater to drive around. I bet you wouldnt get more than 10k for that car. and thats on the high side. Now is that worth it to you? $10k is nowhere near a 03-04 worked cobra.

trust me man, ive thought about selling my car and looking into a vette or ls1 or something but the amount of money and time into this car means a lot to me.

it's going to suck to sell your car, you ought to pull off the turbo kit because you won't get much near what you invested in the car. Because bottom line poeple will tell you 1. It's still just a GT 2. It's an R-title, that's the sad thruth, I know that is what I would tell a seller of the car if I was interested. That just kills the price of your car. If you want a real deal I'll give you my GT with a cobra swap in it and $2000 cash and we'll call it even:D
