So I’ve only had my license for 10 months. After 2 months my parents bought me a 96 Saturn for my first car and after 5 months I sold it to buy a 2000 Grand Am SE. Now I want to sell it to get a car that’s fast that won’t cost more than $6,000 after mods that is decently fast and looks good. People have told me to get an 89-93 Mustang 5.0 but I can’t find any around me. I live in North Tonawanda. It’s close to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. I was thinking of giving up on looking for a mustang and get a formula or trans am because I like the way they look. Any suggestions on a good car? ---

Fox bod Mustangs are pretty much good for all types of racing. It has the basics down rwd, light, cheap, & power. You see many more built for drag than g-machines but a nice fox notch with some big brakes, coilovers, and other stuff can be a cheap road racing machine. ---
