I bought mine for 30k in November 2003. Lucky me. I couldn't afford the almost 35k sticker on the car. I noticed at that time you could get a brand new Mach1 for 22k. Now they're selling used for that amount. Hmmm...did I make the right choice?

i think they keep theyre value becuae theyre the last year of that body style and the engine is hand built by two engineers, so the motors themselves are rare being that not many of them are made.

On the other hand, my best friends drives an 89 TT fox body...probably has $15k in over the years and is almost as fast as me. It's all relative...run what cha brung and enjoy it

The only thing that makes cars go up in value is what do the car guys want that they cant find? (example bone stock coupe car LX 5.0...That would be worth an easy $6,000-7,000 now in great condition)
But thats just my opinion...

.Plus, that $7k just keeps going up EVERYTIME you use the bottle. Does it feel good putting $30 a week in your car for gas and then $30 a week in for N2O? I've had nitrous before, I know what it's like...
FWIW, I'm closer to 500 now...both HP and TQ. I'm running more boooooost now. Also, it just takes a few clicks of the mouse to up my timing with HP Tuners. I'm running an exceptionally conservative tune...throw some legit octane booster in there and HELLLLOOOO 500s+ easy. Still won't help me on the 1/8 mile I'm guessing, but nonetheless, my car is fast IMHO.

Maybe you're not on it all the time. Point being...N2O only gives you power when the bottle isn't empty. Turbo gives you power anytime you want...without opening the bottle or flipping a switch 
That's one of the things I don't like about N2O...like I said, I've run it before on another car I owned.
Still, once a week, once a month, etc...it does add up.

No offense taken, but you are still wrong.
