I have had a 2000 GT for about 1-1/2 yrs and have enjoyed driving it after 20 years of minivans. Here's where the " backwards" part comes in. My boy and I were thinking of getting another one with a bad engine and doing a swap. so last week bought an '02 GT parts car and are looking for the blown engine car..... . Life is fun and not always meant to be lived in a straight line.
