95 Dodge Stealth ? or 93 Ford mustang

ok i have like 15 - 16 g's to spend and i'm looking at either a 95 Dodge stealth R/T TT or a 93 Ford Mustang Cobra GT with dual super chargers..


both are are around $15,000 CND

what i want to know from everyone is and unbyist (<---- spelling is BAD) opinion on both cars.. upsides and downsides

like things like insurance..
how often i will need to service/ repair them..
how expensive are parts.. if needed
things that will most like go first on either car...



basically what liability either vehicle may have

One is a touring car the other is a sports car. The TT is AWD and can be driven in bad weather, the Stang will have issues with wet pavement. The TT is a bit more exclusive since their aren't many out there.

The Stang you described is going to have higher insurance. I'm positive about that. Anytime you change a car from stock, you add potentially more wear and tear as well as higher repair bills.

Parts for the Stang are going to be more readily available and more people can work on those then can on the Stealth.

Since I have two 3000 VR4s (the Stealths big brother) you can guess as to which car I'd suggest But either one would be a lot of fun to drive.

the thing is..

i LOVE the loud deep rumble of the stang.. and the torque and the reputations of someone with a 5.0.. hehe

but i also LOVE the awd and being able to just take off even in bad weather.. and the awsome look of the TT..

lol everyday i'm contemplating which one i should get


grrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

I'd make sure you know what your buying with that stang. Dual superchargers is possible but very unusual. Honestly it doesn't sound right. If it is true then you have to choices... Stealth nice car AWD faster than most things but have reliabilty issues and cost a lot to repair. This TS Mustang, something you will probably kill yourself in, suck in any weather but completely dry. Reliability could suck and even cost more than the Stealth to fix. But I'd buy the Stang because very few people would ever touch that car in performance and that's what I'm all about.

Agian I seriously doubt it's a Twin Supercharger but if it is take some pics of the motor it would be cool to see

Get the 5.0. I love Stealths but you'll be going alot faster in the Stang.
