You can find pleanty of fox bodies or SN95 body style stangs and LT1 F bodies for around 5K grand. I have nothing against hondas and stuff...but just never really wanna drive anything other than a V-8 car if I have my choice...they are still just as realiable, faster and sound better.
So many people say they arent but I know of a ton some even pushing 500+HP on 150K plus mile engines. So I would say yaay to the V-8 car.
If thats not your deal the grand prix, or grand am GTs you can find a ton of thsoe in really nice shpe for cheap prices ...most that are even fully loaded (i know cause i have one..lol) but its all up to you on what you really want.
