Default Trading 2003 Mustang GT for 2000 SI

My friend has a 2003 Mustang GT, it is yellow, and has the Magnapack exhaust. I have a supercharged 02 GT. He wants to sell his Mustang GT for a Honda Civic for these reasons...

Better Gas mileage
He can modify it without voiding a warranty to go 12's
It will beat my Mustang GT
It handles better
It is cheaper to fix when it breaks
A t3/T4 Turbo Civic will smoke a supercharged Mustang GT
No payments
Cheaper insurance
Better in the winter (he has a jeep too)

What does everyone think?

All of that's pretty much true if he knows what he's doing.

Why did you post links to ford and mustang forums? Of course there gonna say mustangs are faster. The kids I know would die for their ford pride. I'm sure may of them have fast mustangs, but all you told us so far is you have a supercharger. What size pulley does it have? I always felt that the tree for handling was AWD>FWD>RWD. But that's just me.

you cant modify a civic si to do twelves without voiding the warranty. TURBO VOIDS ALL PARTS OF THE WARRANTY. except for your sunroof and power windows. and other mechanical sh*t like that.

definetly not a troll... ive been on this site for years, i just rarely post. if you go back and check my posts its usually me asking for advice about various issues w/ my car. i just happen to have a friend in the situation posted and i wanted the feedback from the people on this board...

also, I live with people that are on stangnet, 3si, supraforums etc. (i live in a house full of car enthusiasts... we all go to school together and have cars)

basically i like cars, no matter what kind they are and so do all of my roommates, and this is a real situation and i wanted feedback. we also posted this on other forums to get feedback from the other perspectives as well...

if anyone needs any further explaination please private message me. thanks
