Looking for advice/opinions
So, here's the dilemma. I bought a 2014 GT a few months ago and the Mach has been relegated to car show duty only. I love the GT, fun to drive, powerful. The Mach is paid for and I was thinking of selling to perform upgrades on the GT (S/C, exhaust, etc.). The GT isn't daily driven, maybe a few times a week. Just thinking that I would enjoy doing more to the GT, but the Mach has "sentimental" value to me. Anyway, would appreciate any thoughts or opinions as to what my fellow Mach 1er's would do. Thanks!!

Re: Looking for advice/opinions
I say sell the Mach and enjoy the GT more, it hard enough for me to even enjoy my Mach having my Focus ST daily driver, I cant imagine having two mustangs that barely get driven lol

Re: Looking for advice/opinions
I think it strongly depends on what sort of definition you have for "sentimental" value..
The only reason I make the comment is because at some point, I do plan on getting a newer mustang, and even though my mach 1 fully paid off, I would never sell it because it was my dad's mach before he passed away. |

Re: Looking for advice/opinions
Sentimental only because I've owned it the longest of any car I've had (six years..lol). I know it's a matter of taste and preference, but just trying to weigh the pro's and con's. If I were to sell the Mach, I would be looking at around 12K to play with.

Re: Looking for advice/opinions
At that price you could easily do all of the bolt on mods on the new car along with suspension and engine mods as well...I guess it really depends on what your end performance goals are and how easily they can be reached with the new car.
