the way i see it make the car your own style, yes buying a gt will get more power but you have many options to get that GT power out of the the car you have, and keep the insurance rate from going to the Gt level. for the money (extra you spend) u can put a super charger, custom paint, stereo upgrade, what ever you want, you want your baby to be unique like you not like the other 150,000 to 200,000 that are sold every year.sit down and think what kind of style of personality to what the car you feel it is. i have done this, and have won 11 trophies including 2 at the state fair in my class.
