    Lincoln Mark VIII. Speed, class, and American made.

    These are getting on in years, though, and there are some problems. The biggest one is the air ride system, but you can pick one up and replace the suspension with either air or conventional coil springs for well under your budget.

    - or -

    You could wait another year. By then, you might be able to find a G8 in your price range.

    nah, i wouldnt get a gto. they are still a little too expensive. honestly, i would look into a camaro or a trans am. they have great power, and the aftermarket support is unbelievable. a buddy of mine bought his 02 transam about a year ago and only paid 12k for it. a couple bolt ons and a good pair of slicks and he was runnin high 12's all day long. i really would love to have an 03 cobra also. the two vehicles im lookin into are either an 01-04 ford lightning, or a nice transam or firebird. im not a fan of the camaro body but i would still take one if the price was right. but i want a truck again and i love lightnings.

    im telling u man... if you can afford it get an 03 or 04 cobra... that s/c 4 valve 4.6 can make really good power. they respond so well to modifications... 390 hp stock??? ill take it... and it was actually underrated from the factory. if you cant afford that then i would go for a 99-02 cobra, or 03-04 Mach 1. they still have the sick 4 valve motor but its 320hp naturally aspirated. they still respond VERY well to modifications.

    I had an '06 AWD Trailblazer SS and I loved it!!! I also miss it!!!!! It was loaded, DVD and all. But the wife drove it every day and the best mileage I could get, even on a trip was 15. So in city traffic it was worse. But by far one of the best things on the street. I still think about getting another one some day. Good luck on what you buy.

    Actually there were a few factory freaks with K&N Drop ins throwing down 430 to the wheels on youtube somewhere...I don't know how I didn't say it...I don't care for the N/A 'Stangs, only car from Ford I would ever get a is a Terminator. I'm torn between a bunch of cars when I go looking...it'll be either a WS6, 03-04 Cobra, 04 CTSV, 07-08 STS-V, or a Audi RS4...just depends what I find when the time comes...

    yea.. cobras are the way to go. the stock internals can handle alot and hey that n/a motor can make alot of power! you would be suprised... plus you can slap a kenne belle on there if you really wanted to

    Meh, I'd always go Whipple...Kenne Bell's make a lot of power but end up blowing out their seals and leak oil everywhere.
