you don't like the trans am interior? i thought it was great..i love the seats. but yeah if I had the money I'd have one of those. but uh...how the hell are you getting a 25-30K car as your first car?

my first car was a supra that got jaked to after i waited a year i got a sti it is easy all u have to do is ask daddy LOL

That 2005 Mustang GT is lookin pretty awesome. $24,000 for a 300bhp rwd car, with styling that I admit to liking. For the price difference between a stock 05' Stang and an Evo VIII (~$4,000) I bet you could make the Stang significantly stronger and faster.

The Evo VIII handles amazingly well, as does the STi. Only problem I see is price.

Other options that I see in this category are the 350z or a used E36 M3

no the ipicked up a '05 sti a couple days ago and the awd kicks ass and the rear wheel mustang stands no chance ( EVEN THOUGH THE LOOKS ARE KILLER) the rwd can NEVER take a AWD

wow. i wish i could ask my dad to buy me a $30k car. and uh..i think the mustang vs sti would be all on the driver. it's tricky launching AWD. the mustang has 300rwhp exactly how much whp does the STI have?

300 stock i got intake and exhoust i also got a new bov ( ther goes my warantee) so about 320-330 ?

[dampachi]

intake and exhaust does not add 20-30hp. maybe 10hp together. and i don't think that voids your warranty.

It does on a turbo car (if its a full exhaust, not just a rear section). About the F body being more practical, I'm just sayin that a NA RWD car has less parts to brake then a Turbo AWD car. And considering that kids tend to rag out their first car, you dont want to be paying for a transfer case or a turbine.

Ya Its The Who Thing And The Dealer Told Me It Voided The Warantee And I Have No Clue I Guessed About The Hp Becouse The Box Of The Exoust Sayd Adds 15-20 Hp And Intake Adds A Few Lol So I Dont No Im Doind Dyno Next Week

where did you get the parts installed? i've been to 483574385 dealers looking at cars and i've asked questions about if i modify them does it void the warrantee and i always get the same answer that minor mods like intake and exhaust don't void the warrantee. if they're brand new parts and professionally installed they should not void your warranty..i'd check more into that because i think you may be getting screwed over. you just bought a brand new car...and got your warranty void a few days later, aren't you the least bit concerned that you're being ripped off?

i would say get a 99 3000gt VR4 a little heavy but has great looks and its a unique car. all the other cars they have listed are great cars but you have to give credit to such a beautiful and fast car. this car is in the 300zxtt and supra league. so give it some thought.

[evostisrt4]

no i asked they sayd some dealers do that but they dont im screwd ooh well at least i still got my car
