I'm 16 and want my first car. (Pretty sure I'm old enough for here...?) Anyways, I want my first car, I just don't know which car. I like old mustangs and camaros, old classic cars like that (I guess it's classic... don't know much 'bout cars). I also like tuners though, like wrx's and rx-7's per say. A nissan Z would be fuckin' awesome too.
Anyways, I like fast cars and nice engines, I just don't know a car that I can get started into building and customizing my own car with.
please lmk! ty

How much money do you want to budget for your car?
Take your budget and spend only a small portion on getting a car. Keep the rest for needed repairs etc.
Also find an insurance company and compare rates. You will find the cars you want are very, very expensive for a 16 year to insure. This may sound odd, but keep this in mind when shopping. Consider an '80's car.... much more affordable and still plenty of fun.
Of the cars you mention, older ('80's) Camaros and Mustangs are plentiful cheap and lend themselves to mods very nicely. Theres lots of support, info and parts on the net for them. 80's Z-cars and Supras would be an excellent alternative. .
If these cars are too expensive to insure, consider buying and modding a compact pick-up truck, or an older RWD coupe, like a GM G-body or Thunderbird
FWIW over the years, I have driven and enjoyed all the cars mentioned here

You are of only 16 and very young to get the ride of classic and vintage cars… It will not suit you personality. It will be better if you choose some sporty and stylish cars which can run at faster speed… So that you can enjoy the moment with full of fun and excitement… For this you can check out the market as there you can get a lot of options and you have to choose the best among them.
