Big A Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Hey everyone, I have started to look for a new car. Im looking for something with a V8, RWD and manual. ive been looking at mustangs, camaros, and trans. My plan is to get one, then save up for mods while making the car payment. i have found a 2000 Z28, a 99 trans, and a 97 cobra all with in my price range with reasonable miles as well. So any input that anyone can give me on helping me try to make a decision would be great. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsnake Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 depending on your credit the 97 might be out of the question b/c banks dont like giving loans out to that old of a car unless its not for the full value of the car or you have a GOOD co signer.

Guest Hal Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 You know I love the moostangs, but I'd say for you it'd be best to go with the TA. If I remember right you fit better in the camaro, so that might be the way to to go. We'll go check some out if you want. Ls1 > * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 If im able to get one i will have a great co-signer. the T/A i feel is the best. it has the least miles and the body from what i can tell lookes great. i would have to check it out first.

verse Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 S2000. RWD and manual with a motor that rev's to 9k, that's definitely better than a V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure he's not going to want an s2000. Not really a honda guy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm pretty sure he's not going to want an s2000. Not really a honda guy at all. Given the list of cars he has looked at, I'd say an S2000 would be a stretch. High revs doesn't sound like something he likes. Since you're more of a GM guy, I'd go with the TA. I think they look much better than the Camaro and definitely better than a Mustang. And, like already stated, LS1 > * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
copperhead Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Fbody's and Mustangs can basically do the same thing for the same price (mod wise). Get whatever you feel more comfortable in, and/or whatever you can get the best deal on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 You tellin' me you can't rev a mustang or an f-body to 9k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big A Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 An S2000 is a little small for me. but thanks for everything else. now i just have go look at them and check with the bank. all of that fun stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 With a little work the 97 could rev to 9k whenever you wanted. It would require some engine work but it already redlines around 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 a motor that revs to 9k and makes no power still isn't cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted July 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 04 gto. i would love to have one... but a little much for me right now. what about the reliability on a 99 T/A and some replacement parts for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWD i have. i have only driven a manual a couple times. i have the idea i just have to have a car and time to work on it. im not going to go out and be a dumbass or anything. im just starting to get into cars and mods. i think one of those will be a good car to grow into and to mod from what i have been told.

I think the point here, though, is he actually wants to go fast. / Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Being the owner of both a Mustang and a Firebird.......get the T/A. Without a question. And S2K...what kind of crack smoker would suggest that. Cramped, torqueless, and more money than the others; no thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big A Posted July 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks everyone. I'm going to look at the 99 T/A on Tue i believe. I hope all goes well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramped, torqueless, and more money than the others; no thanks!!! my 99 gt was way more comfortable to drive than an f body. unless your going for pure speed (like me) i would get a mustang over a t/a.

I 100% disagree. Comparing stock for stock (remember, interiors are pretty much the same for 94-04 Mustangs, and 93-02 Firebirds), my Firebird is far more comfortable. More leg room, more comfortable arm rests, shifter position is far better, more head room, etc. Way more comfortable than my Moostang. I prefer the seating position in the Firebird too.
