Paid around $22K new, will have around $6K in it, so if it’s faster than a stock newer F-body (we’ll see), and I enjoy doing it, then i guess it was worth it. Definitely cheaper to buy used and put money into it, but new is nice too. I mean, there are a lot of guys on here with way faster cars than mine that put a lot less into them. ---
