Default you guys' opinions?

Ok guys. I got a big question. I have my SS as you can see in my sig with 11k on the odo. i have a 96 GT stang that i have modded out partly and am wondering, do i leave the SS pretty much stock for now and keep it that way as a collectors item and finish modding out the GT (lowering, side exhaust, cut outs, sound insulation for my major stereo system in it, and PI headswap [this means getting the heads from a 99 up GT for more power]) or do i say **** it and start in on the SS?

Mod the SS. It has a head start and will respond very well, and it's not going to be much of a collectors item. Get more out of it by modding and driving it IMO.

Then I guess you have to decide which style car you want/like more. Unless you plan on doing the same to the SS...

seeing how it's pretty hard to get a 96 gt to look nice...and very hard to get it to be fast...i'd say screw the gt and build the ss...enjoy it while you live...i doubt it will be a collectors car
