88 10th ae vs. 89-91 s5 tii
i currently own a 89 gtu-s
im thinking of getting a 88 10th ae because its rare, and it looks nice. I like the sunroof and all the options it has.
im thinking if i should get a s5 tii instead because the engine has more hp and its slightly newer...
im still leaning more towards the 10th ae tho. what do u guys think?

The only reason I'd go for a 10th AE in this situation is if I was looking for a great car to keep bone stock.. otherwise, it's kind'a pointless to have one, because 10th AE cues like the wheels will have to go if you get too heavy with the modding.. plus, S5 body components are better looking.. I think we all can agree on that.

10th AE
If the AE is reasonably priced go with the AE it is rare and u can make it a sleeper. If you must have body mods cuz thats what u like to do just get and S5 cuz the AE's are worth what they are because of their rarity in their stock cosmetical format. And if you can keep that AE in good condition it will be worth ALOT of money in the future. As it is i have seen mint ones with no engine mods go for 8-10k.

Personally I would go with an S5 TII, the AE's IMHO should be left un-molested because of what they are - special editions - once you take one and go with a big single, fancy rims etc (don't get me wong the car is still bdass) it loses all of its 10thAE allure, because now its a former 10thAE that has been built up. Look at it this way, if you had a Boss 302 Mustang and ditched the factory rims, put a 351 in it and went right ot town - it would be nice, but it would no longer be a Boss 302. So why did you buy one? you know? You could have had the same thng with a run of the mill pony.
Either way you'll be happy with a TII over your N/A for sure, go with whichever fits your budget and taste.
Just please keep in mind......there are ONLY 1500 10thAE's in the world....thats it. There are wayyyyy more S5 TII's ready for building.
