Mach 1, Cobra, or Fox?
 
Toying with the idea of buying a Terminator, Mach 1 or possibly a Fox Body in October-ish....which one would be the best to buy just for a toy?

I don't know if it would be worth having two cars at 19, I am just thinking it over.

Any pros/cons of a Mach, Cobra or Fox Body?

My daily driver would still be my 2012 Brembo 5.0, I kinda just want something that I can actually learn to tinker with and not have to worry about messing it up or warranty.

You know?

If you want to really tinker with it a Fox is a good choice because they are fairly easy to work on and there's tons of mods. To me the pushrod motor is just easier. But for all out power the Terminator is a good choice because you can easily add more power too.

To me the Fox is the best choice for a project but that's because I have one myself. It's still easy to drop $25k in mods on a Fox though.

What kind of tinkering? Engine? Body? Electronics?

x3...

I'll be doing the same thing here eventually. I'm not sure what yet though, but it will be something carbureted and easy to come by and work on. Have fun with it though (whichever you pick).

I would go with the Fox. They are so light that any modifications for speed increase are more easily felt.

I'll give a lame answer. When you look at all three, which one speaks to you? Which one says buy me? For me, it's the fox. It was the hot car when I was in high school. I had a buddy that just dropped gears in it and smoked everyone in the neighborhood. I will own one someday.

Terminator would be my pick of the three.

Fox would be your best bet for tinkering. Termi would be your best bet for easy hp
