    Dont buy it. If your content with 13's for cheap do it. If your looking for more, walk away.

    For daily maintenance the gtp or gt would be better. Much cheaper to work on. And modding if u ever wanted to is cheaper.
    Gas mileage wise you'll get about the same no matter which u go to. I get great mileage. Actually better than my old gt. But results vary from car to car

    For a daily just get her a GT. You can run 87 octane, knock down relatively good MPGs, it'll still look good, be comfy, and be able to boogie when you need it too.

    IMO.

    1. GT
    2. GTP
    3. GXP

    Nope.

    You need a TEP valve body and new clutches to call it good.

    Otherwise you're still sitting on a 50-100K mile trans.

    Some have squeezed close to 200K out of them, but if you beat on it, it's going to die.
