i dont have to worry about winter doug, becuase we never get snow where i live....so its a good year-round car down here....jeff, i just have never much cared for the svo's....if the had a 8-cyl, i would like it....hp dont really matter, its the v8 sound i want

 

Not to mention the Recaro seats. Zach, THIS would be a GREAT first car for you. Get an '85 1/2 - '86 model if you can find one, 205HP. A Comp model would be sweet, but they're few and far between.

guys, sorry, but i just GOTTA have a v8

 

you'll find something, i was also looking out for an 87-93, and i found an 86...its awesome, so remember that there are other Mustangs you can find that'll turn out awesome!I found mine for a little under 3000 dollars, so i think you'll find something good and ifyou don't you can find a big block truck for cheap and those are fun too

 

You'll want a V8 until you see the insurance. For me to have a V8 Mustang I had to have a serperate insurance plan and pay $3000 a year. Needless to say I never got me a Mustang.

 

you could always get a V8 II, insurance is nothing!

 

y is it cheap with a II but not with a fox?

 

i dunno really, my II ios $600 a year and thats all i know. and its a cobra II. i was so prepared to have to pay like $2000 a year for it, but i just....dont.

funny thing, insurance... maybe juist b/c they had such low HP ratings and were 'economical' and small. and it could just be that they're older, but not quite old enough to be a 'classic' car.

but im not complaining

 

Nice cars man

i just started driving on roads and in traffic, becuase for a few years, i drove in an empy high school parking lot....i mostly drive a 1997 lincoln town car v8 with almost 250 hp. It can GET UP AND GO! I have had lots of experience and instruction from my dad, so by now i just blend in with traffic, i dont stick out as an erratic driver....i got the swing of how to operate and handle the car, and i even know how to drive stick shift. my dad says i drive just as good or better as anyone else on the road, and he didnt say that to make me feel good, he really means it.

if you really think a lincoln town car can get up and go, u dont need a Fox

 

You ever seen a mustang II? They figure wrecking one can only improve it's value. At least when they get wrecked there is a chance otherwise good parts will be removed from the pinto shell

 

dude, compared the the 2 p.o.s. hondas my dad drives, it can get up and go.....im not comparing it to a fox

 

dude im the same age as you heres my plan, i live in FL dont do alotta emission testing here, basically i'm risking alot by taking my car in before i do my perfomace upgrades. so its listed as 210hp. imma go home within the next 2 moths imma drop the engine and tranny put a new 360hp turn key in and a new t-5 (the one used in the cobra R) total peformance build cost=12K

by the way i wouldent reccomend anymore than 300hp as a first car only if you have been driving for a few years. and you know how people are so i'm just gonna say that i personally think i could handle more becuase i've been driving since age 8 (back roads and parking lots) with a mazda then for the last 2 years (i'm 14 now) i have been driving a '03 cobra stock for the first year then 475rwhp for the last 6 months
