My first was a '99 GT coupe, base (Deluxe). I only had a shifter and weld-in Flowmasters, but I loved it. It was hella fun, and quicker than my '06, at least in the 1/8th mile.
Just got back from lunch, and my truck has spoiled me. I've forgotten how small they are, and how low these cars sit.
Also, it's going to need struts and springs.
