Thread: A Good Car to be modded.

If you want to go fast cheap, with a V8.

Get a 87-93 5.0 Mustang.

Tires, Suspension, and basic bolt-on's, and you're already low 13's.

Have you ever seen under the hood of one of those?

have any of you ever owned one and modded it? they aren't cheap. the car itself is going to cost you at least $10k.

10k? Fourth gen Camaros and Firebirds can be had for 5-6k now.

yeah there fast and all. but stock ive seen prices as high as 28-32 thousand. and i refuse to get something that old for that much. I wish they had dual duals too lol and there only coupes at that and i really wanna get a four door.

If you really want a fast 4 door, you're going to have to look into import/awd platforms really...but those cars get expensive with high horsepower. I boosted G8 would be plenty of power to get you into trouble.

My suggestions are (as Bio stated previously) something older. Such as:
-79-87 Malibu, they get amazing traction...can be had cheap. This will allow you to to focus on the go-fast part..the engine.
-Fox body...same concept
-any 2nd through 4th gen F-Body
-Nova
-El Camino (79-87 is basically same as a Malibu wagon of the same years)

How can u call bull**** on a thread asking questions???? read it again . . . i said im leaning towards the first two. and if i really want to make a POWER MOVE then im gonna be looking at the GTR or G8 GXP. so that means that thoose two are the last things on my list if anything. and yeah i believe u on the mustang but idk doesn't everyone have a mustang. its really rare to see a GTO....GOD there so sexy.

I really don't see how you're considering a GTR, are you making 100k + a year? Because I doubt you'll be able to afford it.

If anything, might as well get a brand new ZR1 Supercharged LS9 vette, since you can afford a GTR, which is a ugly piece of ****, that shouldn't even been made.

yeah. and he didn't say it needs to be easy to work on, just wants to do something. z's are sick cars. Probably not what he's looking for though.

Please don't get a mustang. They're too overdone, too ugly, and everyone and their mom drives one. It is really a poor man's sport's car. Find an 05 or 06 gto 6 speed and start having fun. Make that car entirely unique.

yeah i agree with you on that one. mustangs are over done. and there aren't that many GTO's on the road so i geuss thats looking like my number one choice right now unless there are better suggestions.
