Default Looking at a new ride...

I've had my Conquest TSi now for 4 years. Some people here remember her and have even seen pics. For those that haven't, here's the Photobucket link with my older pics (I'll take new ones once I get a wash and wax and the interior detailed): http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/c...able/Conquest/

Now I've poured my heart and soul into her. Spent $4k on the engine alone. The mod list is huge for the power plant and she's almost completely done. A few minor things and she'll be finished.

Now comes the dilemma. There's a guy looking to trade for a Conquest or Starion on one of my other boards. He has a '93 Dodge Stealth R/T TT. It's had the head and turbos rebuilt less than 1000 miles ago and currently has 233k miles. The car is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. I know mine's not a looker by any stretch but it's got the cajones to keep up with anything on the road. I've always liked the looks of the Stealth and 3000 GT but I love the 'quest as well. The power and the lines of the 80's model sports cars just aren't seen and they always turn heads.

For anyone wanting to see the specs and info on the Stealth, here's the thread from the other forum:

So tell me what you guys think. I won't be making the trade IF I do until after June (Anyone here in the Branson MO area? I'll be down there for the 2009 Starquest Nationals)

Even with a freshly rebuilt head and only 30k miles on the rebuilt turbo's? I've been toying with selling the bug to get the funds to buy it too. Not sure just tossing ideas around and mulling on things.

I was thinking that as well but it seems to have been quite well cared for. Garaged it's whole life and recently rebuilt head and turbos says to me this was someone that understood the cars not some ricer that beat the **** out of it to see what it could handle.
