Who ever did the conversion is not a secret, it's on the door tag ... can be verified.

If you're shopping as an uninformed newbe, yes, you can be had and should be shopping for a NEW car of another mark.

By stereotyping a car because of myths, you can miss out on some gems.

What did you end up getting, Spanky? You're really gonna like that car! Run, don't walk to get a pulley and tune! Makes that car 100% better!

I call that a hacked up GT, not a GTX-1. Sure it looks neat, but it's not how the car was designed.

GTX-1 roof conversion doesnt do much for me. I can lower, pulley, and tune the regular GT and have the same thing.

+ the one I got already has exhaust on it.

The wheels the GTX-1 comes with have to be the ugliest wheels in the history of the Earth.

How do you measure a resale value drop?

Its not so much since you have a Euro Spec car it automatically drops in value, its just that its not as desireable to a US buyer therefore they have to drop price in order to move it, i could be wrong?
