2000 GT Vert

Anything to look for, worry about? My wifey told me I should buy another vehicle since my ole frontier is starting to wear out, and needs some work, so I am in the process of buying myself a Stang.. First let me say, I have never been a real huge Ford fan, but after driving this one, it was nice, sounds great, someone put exhaust on it, just not sure what type. I've always been a Camaro nuthugger and always wanted one, but I was just to tight on my money, and really did not like the long overlook of the hood. Power was great, but if I would have went all out, I was going to buy a 03-04 Cobra Vert, but they are hard to find.

After all that rambling, what should I look for in performace wise? Not going to be much track time, just want to outrun a 97 z28....

You shouldn't have to worry about anything

well, let me update this a little. I returned the vert back to the dealer, he let me since I've known him for a long time and he is a family friend. I have decided I am going to wait just a little longer and find myself a nice 03-04 Cobra Vert. I know in the morning I am going to feel horrible for taking this one back, but I will find myself another..
